So Revision 3 launched a new show a few weeks ago called Film Riot. The basic premise of the show being that it will demonstrate film special effects in a senario and then break it down and show you how to do it. The actual meat and veg of what you have to do in Final Cut is sped through so it doesn’t get boring and focused more on teaching you about how film makers, particularly the low budget indie ones, think about creating effects.

They blow people’s heads off, they show you how to add muzzle flash when someone fires a gun but the thing which really sets this podcast apart is that their production values are increadibly high. The writing is genuinely funny and the senarios that they run to showcase their effects are awesome. Check out their podcast and even if you are not a film maker you will find yourself looking at your favourite films in a very different light.

The lastest episode was a mock film trailer to showcase the effects taught in the first few episodes. Mashing together just about every epic horror film trailer you have ever watched these guys take the piss wonderfully with their trailer for PMS The Horror Movie. Not only is the trailer mental they have also set up a Myspace page for it! Check out the rest of the mock universe these guys have set up at http://myspace.com/pmsthehorrormovie
