Tim Shey, Next New Networks
Description:
Web video series like GALACTICAST and INDY MOGUL are getting closer and closer to achieving Hollywood-quality special effects on zero budgets. Find out how some of these creators achieve amazing looking HD effects, from lightsabers to exploding heads, on budgets under $50, and try to stump them with an effect they can’t do.

Hi, everyone. Speakers we're seeking for this panel (and who helped brainstorm the idea) include the killer group of Rudy Jahchan (co-creator of Galacticast), Erik Beck (the FX guru from Indy Mogul), and Stu Maschwitz, co-founder of The Orphanage and author of The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap. Also really open to ideas you have to make this panel great, and speakers we should try to get. Should we make it a hands-on demo? Should we blow up a few things? Do you want snacks?

I've always wondered how Rudy does it! Galacticast and Comicbook Orange always look so slick.
