I'm a new subbie. And I love your instruction videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
Welcome and thanks for watching!
When I can t build, I can watch! Thanks for this, loved it. I particularly liked how the brick came out with the moss and the final dark coat.
Glad you liked it!
LOVED this! A tutorial that was easy on the ears and the eyes! It actually made me miss working with foam 😂. This will be in my reference folder for future projects. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the kind words, Kate!
I love going back and watching old episodes I had missed! These are all great!! Thanks so much for making these!
Glad you enjoy it!
Seriously Derek, that music is just awesome! I'm jealous! Also, wow 204 views in 3 hours? I should look into the teasers! 😂🤣😁👍 Wonderful video man! Well done!
Thanks Brian!
Fantastic tutorial. Love learning new technics. Also when your narrating, you sound like the how it's made narrator. Wonderful job.
Haha thanks!
@@VanOaksProps Add a small tape recorder in the back and have it play; "It's really dark in here !! Let me out!!
(Hee, hee)
Exactly what I’ve been looking for for months 🤗
I am so spoiled...
I looked at this Thumbnail and thought ... if it isn't VanOaksProps... I'm not n it...
LOL.. YEAH... it is one of your videos... so I will watch it...
... if it isn't VanOaksProps... I'm not going to watch it... (my typing messed up).
LOVE the blow torch effect with spray water!
Yeah, it's a favorite!
Love your videos. Getting thoughts lined up to make a fake fireplace for my witch's hut this year. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Awesome video! You clearly explain the aging process so well! Thanks for all the tips and tricks! 🎃
Thank you! Happy to share it with you guys.
WOW...so glad I found this..Love it. I've never worked with foam before,love the aging technique. Plenty of time to practice. 😊 Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Nice piece
Thank you
@@VanOaksProps any time it's nice to see another fellow CZcamsr making Halloween stuff 😁
You have the BEST tutorials! This is great!
Thanks, Punky H!
amazing work, bud!!!
Question- Is it possible to harden the foam in anyway to perhaps keep it from breaking apart if say an eager person may pick at it or press to hard against it? Working on a high traffic haunt and need some advice. thank you so much.
You can hard coat it. Check out my video on Monster Mud: czcams.com/video/6expS0ux-1E/video.html
So this is very close to what I'm looking for tutorial wise. I just returned from Disney World in Orlando. The facade on the Tower of Terror uses a similar effect where it looks like the exterior concrete siding has worn off in random spots, exposing brick underneath as if it once was its original facade. I love this look and wanted to ask you how to achieve this look. What's the easiest way to go about this? Should I use the method in this video, or perhaps a combination of this method with the drywall compound method in your other faux brick video? Lastly, and non related, the Harry Potter castle at Universal Studios has an amazing faux, weatherproof moss effect (which looks like concrete). How do they do this, or how can one recreate this effect? I must know Obi-Wan...lol. As as always, thanks for all your amazing videos that help make me a better prop maker! I'd be lost without ya.🤘💀
For a theme park, they're going much more industrial with their materials so that they withstand regular wear and tear. If it's for a display where people won't be knocking into it for day on end, you can just follow the method in the video. If space is an issue, then I'd go with the joint compound approach, since it's less dimensional. As for the faux moss, I'd need to see it to weigh in on how it was achieved.
@@VanOaksProps just seeing this now. So apologies for recommending the tutorial on your request post. The moss appears to be somewhat of a corse concrete mixture that is then painted to complete the look. I believe it is more corse to provide contrast between the concrete used for the facade and the moss effect. It looks amazing. It's painted perfectly to have different hues and tones like real moss would. I would love to figure out a way to make the same thing for haunt applications.
Great texture
Thanks! I love that technique. It’s really catches the light in any display and gives a really old look.
Love your tutorials man - I'm a filmmaker so any prop creation I can make works great for me!
Glad you like them!
Great video. Thanks for the tutorial
Glad you liked it
Wow epic masterpiece its very realistic and very authentic very well done I love it ❤
Fantastic tutorial, as always!!! Thanks for taking the time to teach us 👻
My pleasure!
I may use this for my phantom of the opera bedroom (to make some catacombs) edit also if you want to make it older use yellowish bricks instead of red , since red bricks were more expensive to make so yellow bricks were used in places where bricks wouldn't be visible or lower class buildings
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks!
I notice you don’t use hot foam cutters. Any reason why?
I do. Sometimes it’s just faster not to. Also, depending on the use, sometimes it’s not the right tool because of how it hardens the foam during the cutting process.
Incredibly epic
Thanks!
I like the foam brick idea! Definitely going to try it! 999
Your technique is amazing. Do you use same foam for all techniques? What are the best foams to use? Im subscribed look forward to more videos! If you have a technique for Live edge slabs, please let me know!!!
I use EPS foam for everything because it’s more dense than the white beaded foam. More EPS foam is the same, so there’s not a particular brand.
Is it possible to do the water and torch after the foam board is painted? My block wall looks to generic. Thanks
Unfortunately no. There’s something about the outer coating of the foam that makes it burn that way. Once it’s coated it’s very unpredictable. Same can be said for any cut edges.
Great job!
Thanks Greg!
Thanks for the demo! 999
Making a mausoleum for the haunt I was hired for. The own met bought miles of foam but it’s the polyisocyanurate foam. I’ve read it’s harder to work with and concerning it soaks up water since this is an outdoor build. It’s softer too. Have experience with this foam? Anything I should know working with it?
I’m hoping the water and torch effect still works and this if monster mud and drylok it well it should be ok.
I don’t, unfortunately.
Great video
Thanks!
Love this♡
Thanks Jasmine!
You make these things look so easy lol
Thanks! They're easier than you think and I bet you can do it!
@@VanOaksProps Halloween still isn’t very big here in the UK but last year I managed to build me some columns....they just about pass 😅
@@crazylazyadhd4692 You should see my first-year props/tombstones. They weren't great, but that left a lot of room for improvement!
I'm learning that the #1 Most Important Tool for Haunters is a spray bottle of water, LOL! Is there an alternative to using a torch (say, a heat gun) in the aging process?
Not really. Heat guns work differently and the outcome is really unpredictable. So while you could use one, you won’t get the same, repeatable result
@@VanOaksProps Good to know, thank you. Might have to take a trip to the hardware store...
Can you mix ww1 And halloween?
Not sure I understand the question.
