Pyro Test: Simulating bullet effects on a couch pillow

In this video we tested three bullet hits on a couch pillow to determine the right volume and bullet-hole size for a film we worked on recently.

NOTE: At this time we cannot disclose the film title.

Any tips for a 16 year old trying to get into the business?

I have actually been mask making, prop making, make up, even laying beards, for about 5 years!!

@givenupsasuke Absolutely! Keep practicing your craft and concentrate on your strong suits. Get really good at what you know and enjoy and when you feel your ready apply for an internship at local FX shops and soak up the knowledge.

@valeron3D I appreciate your comment. I felt it was best to add the warning message due to safety precautions.

Could do without the background music and more dialog about what's the thinking processes.
