Build a Fallout Laser Rifle! Fallout Nuka Break Behind the Scenes

[@JJPasadena]

This is such a great example of how quickly technology is making independent film making the best it's ever been. Very impressed. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@mr.headcrab31]

Volpin's work are, quite literally, Art pieces. Wonderful for Photoshoots and drooling over, but they are "Hero" props through and through. These, not only looking sweet as hell, are slightly more disposable. Volpin spends months working on all the fine details, but a good drop will turn his wonderful portal gun into Apple-styled debris. It's all about the suspension of disbelief and durability when it comes to filmmaking, and from the look of it, these casts are spot on. Two words: Sell Casts

[@ClanJAX]

I love that new second-long intro jingle WAY more than I should.

[@SwedishDreamer]

I know what I'm going to wish for this Christmas.

[@guacamoleroxmysox]

These videos are awesome. The audio was a bit hard to hear, but the instruction, detail, explanations, and humor is all really interesting.

[@gamerKidz55]

Please, you should do a step - by - step guide on how to make these and some of the other props. I am a big fan of your videos and your skill, and it would be appreciated :D

[@1Iren2]

Zack's heart stopped at 1:05. hahaha Good video guys.

[@SireSpamelot]

love seeing the professional aspect of special effects, especially props

[@gageharrison5610]

You should sell these and the pip boys

[@dhopss]

you'd think that would be the obvious thing to do..

[@DocFlamingo]

D_Hops The origional designer might have a thing or two to say about that, as would Obsidian and Bethesda.

[@Fennecbutt]

Gage Harrison Not allowed. It's Zenimax's IP.

[@voltaire5427]

If I worked for Bethesda, I'd stoked that these guys are making a such a high quality show. Keep it up! Also if you could feature the Mysterious Stranger, that would be rad.

[@RogueScholarBlue]

Dear Zack and Ralis, thank you once again for a freaking awesome behind the scenes feature. Seeing the world of Nuka Break: The Series brought to life, literally, piece by piece is just frakking *sweet.* Second, for making me Nerd in my pants, the two of you owe me a new pair of shorts.

[@TheGLaRfEn]

"And if Tybee throws this off a cliff and smashes it into a million pieces" "She'd be fine." She already is fine...

[@10tmoore]

so they can make as many as they want, thumbs up for new production line

[@Samgiggidygoo]

Zack and Ralis are just awesome

[@theelectricwalrus]

Thanks for carrying on the BFX torch, Zach and Ralis

[@JackD791]

Watching Nuka Break made me play Fallout 3 again and make a badass character who uses a Laser Rifle in both F3 & F:NV :)

[@DarkSignal59]

i want that tri-beam laser rifle NOW!!! :L it amazed me how well it was made,along with the whole series

[@epicnessitself]

I would very much enjoy having one of those in my possession.

[@oneeyedgeek]

@EvilGregProductions BFX didn't disappear. You can still go back and see how they did the cheap version. This channel looks like it is geared to the more serious/dedicated film makers.

[@TheGoblinJohn]

only problem I have with the video is the background music is louder than the voices

[@Acendio]

I was a mc finisher so I know all about molds. very nice touch.

[@1944Wars]

Haha unintentional pun at 6:48 " They won't Fall out " :P

[@dustyrook]

shut up and take my nuka Looking forward to the second season, props were pretty cool in the first. That Gun was the best.

[@jp2jorge]

Ralis and Zack! keep going boys! it's working.

[@K-11609]

Actually I want to buy a flexible version of the Pipboy PLEEEEEASE!!!!

[@DanTr90]

Please keep making videos of this length. Don't start thinking you have some sort of amount of time for each episode. This is KZbin. A lot of other film shows I watch on here feel they have to do their episode as fast as possible. Good stuff here though.

[@auaisito]

@codebreaker2001 I know, but the term "battery" is commonly used for a lead or lithium cell. We wouldn't want to misappropriate the term making non-fans think a tri-beam laser rifle works on freaking Duracell!

[@burger24]

these guys could very well be the next makers of multi-million dollar movies in the future man

[@darknovablast]

Definitely would be awesome if you sold these to help fund the fan films... not even just that, lotsa fans want one! :D

[@Kriskazam]

Holy shit, the sillicon mold version looks badass

[@groble]

Everything Ralis does, seems to revolve around making moulds

[@suddenwall]

If you got permission from Bethesda, as unlikely as that sounds, selling reproductions of the props would be a great way to raise film funds. Best of luck to you guys on the next episode of Nuka Break!

[@Savageliferaul]

whens is it coming out man i've been waiting and waiting

[@Zett316]

The Eyebots weren't only enclave equipment, with tthe lack of many NCR troops means were not near Vegas. From these Obseravtions though these events of Nuka Break Seem to take place during either Before the Battle of hoover Dam in 2277 or in the Years Between. They are in Calfornia though, if you dont remember when Our little groupcame to the town of Eastwood, the mayor said his town was of the finest establishments in the NCR

[@BipolarBear137]

I was getting my trollface on because he called it a laser rifle...moments later to correct it to tri-beam rifle. I'm so proud to be a gamernerd. Love Nuka-break.

[@featherweight]

@hybernationstudios if you read the comment i was actualy responding to, he was saying zack should start selling copys of the gun to the public , i was outlining why THAT would not be a great idea. I'm actualy the one who made the first tri-beam original and i think its baddass he's done this for Nuka break.

[@indymogul]

@AppleTStudios We have proof

[@OleFaldmo]

OK.. but you realize that sooner or later you will have to make a Brotherhood Of steel armor set! and GOD i will wait for it...if there is someone out there that can do it it's you guys...you fucking rock!

[@SlipknotFanize]

This is so awesome! :D

[@BuddhangGala]

awesome! i wish i have the resources to make mold and stuff like that!

[@Zosofan13]

You guys should sell props you make from molds, that way you could fund more projects

[@cloudrokes]

Yea if those were sold through a website or something along those lines I would buy it in a heart beat

[@suns3tn1ghtmar3]

Would I be able to purchase a laser rifle and if so what would be the cost?

[@AngRuu]

Really nice video. Yall should record better audio though so so we can hear better. Just a suggestion.

[@DivadWaldoss]

I wish it would have shown how they made the molds and the keys in the model, etc. Also, i think the background music was a bit too loud... it was kind of hard to hear a few parts. Good job though... definitely a good replacement of BFX!

[@rbogart123]

Can't wait for Mad Monster Lab.

[@amettamail]

I'm glad "BFX" is still kinda alive!

[@UndeadZombieHorror]

I agree with the others here, you guys would make a very good profit by making working pip-boys and replica laser rifles and replicas of the other items unique to Fallout that you used in the film. I, for one, would be quick to buy a replica pip-boy if they were sold (not the clock)

[@grimsdagger]

You've earned a subscriber. Let's see some cool builds... Does the gun have any moving parts, like the trigger or the pump action reloading mechanism? And how would someone go about making something like that?

[@TheTaupeSechee]

Awesome. Can't wait to see more of you guys (though the sound and video quality are crappy :/)

[@NathanShawn]

They should totally sell some of these replicas, make some cash for the future Nuka Breaks.

[@MybasementReviews]

I was curious how much it cost to mold that prop, because it looks really good!

[@MkIIPowerArmor]

TOTALLY AWESOME! they should contact Bethesda and try to get them to sell them. Not a crazy high number though.

[@adamx20]

The Pip Boy is awesome. Slap a smart phone in it and go!!

[@thespartanlegoguy]

Ralis seems like a cool guy.

[@ThomasTheBanana]

Good to know.

[@amadis8487]

Wow. Really amazing work you guys. I want one!!! XD

[@bripower]

thats the guy who did the death eater mask for backyard fx

[@TheSurvivor1243]

You should sell these for better stuff in your nuka break series. I know its a non profit fan film, but you could use it to make future episodes better . Its just a thought. Still you should make like 5 of them at a time then sell them through eBay. I would buy one and I think a lot of people would too.

[@Morbuzka]

I like it, but it looks more like a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, rather than the long Laser Rifle. Also, the emitter head is just like the Tri-Beam, a regular Laser Rifle has like, a flat panel with a hole.

[@TheMoonmahn]

now, make a regular laser rifle, a Laser RCW, and a laser pistol and the set will be complete. :D

[@smrts]

since they can make as many laser rifles as they want now with those molds, they should take orders for the guns sell them and use the proceeds to make nuka break.

[@Mrfrith]

it would be awesome if they did a competition to get one of these :D

[@Kustar10]

You should sell those! I'm sure people would buy them!

[@rememberthecreed]

pretty cool, but I think the audio needs to be boosted, because every time Ralis turns away from the camera and talks to Zack, all we hear is mumbling. So either boosting the audio, or wearing microphones would greatly help

[@joemonroe666]

I would buy one of those Laser Rifles.

[@bgcorporation]

Hah I had a feeling you guys made it out of resin. God I love molds. It's crafters greatest weapon. Ever prop maker needs to learn how to make molds.

[@Yoku5]

You should use harder, better, faster, stronger by daft punk as the background music, because you make harder, better and stronger

[@SlipknotFanize]

Am I the only one who thinks Ralis is a total badass?

[@MrPcFTW]

if you guys do a kickstarter for another series, you should add in prop replicas for the top tiers, for example you get a replica of the pipboy for donating a certian ammount etc..

[@TheEvilKookieMuffin]

im getting even more curious about this series because now i know a certain someone *cough*Cory Williams from SMPfilms/DudeLikeHella*cough* said something about a fallout shoot, and he hung out with kevin brooks who was talking in the backround about nuka break

[@myvoiceisdubbed32]

With how cheap it's becoming to fabricate using 3d printing, this type of casting may be a thing of the past in another decade. Granted, the printers I've used were small and couldn't make some of the bigger parts, I think it's feasible even now. That being said, you make awesome stuff. Really dig the attention to details.

[@D0CI87PC]

Impressive!

[@nicetrickz]

Ok... To build a laser rifle the first thing you need is a laser rifle! =D

[@sngmagician]

Ralis has a thing for making Molds and casting things.

[@SoloTotoCoyote]

Good to see the behind the scene stuff but I would suggest actually showing the process of making the props as opposed to only talking about it. Since the "making of molds" was already covered in a previous vid (no point in completely redoing that part), it would be nice to see the process with the comments of what you're doing and why. While this isn't BFX, the 'step by step" format of BFX was one of the quality points of it and shouldn't be discarded. Also, must improve the sound quality.

[@DuetchJunger]

i would totally buy one

[@ZombieTacticalStore]

You would fire Tybee? That is just wrong!!! She more valuable to the series than a few of your custom made laser rifles! HA! :) I do love your productions and I look forward to the new season.

[@TheSurvivor1243]

You should sell these for better stuff in your nuka break series. I know its a non profit fan film, but you could use it to make future episodes better . Its just a thought. Still you should make like 5 of them at a time then sell them through eBay. I would buy one and I think a lot of people would too. plus you can make your pipboys and sell them too. But its just a thought.

[@SuperUltra]

A little subtle and hard to tell, but I think the FX guy is into heavy metal. What do you think?

[@cyrylthewolf]

Would be awesome if the music WASN'T louder than your voices. Way to go.

[@chevkoch]

Interesting stuff, but I too think the audio could be clearer.

[@HealthyHappyAnimals]

nice, 90+ points in repair skill :D

[@ralis]

@balisticjoe Yes mostly smooth on silicones and resins. Some rigid and self skinning flexible foams, Ultracal and silver powder from Frend's beauty supply and burlap from home depot. This is the economical way of doing it, you can't make a peanut butter sandwich without peanut butter!

[@christianrangel4sho]

who else thinks this would have been waaayy better with a SUPER TIME LAPSE WHOOO!

[@Zett316]

Where they film is in the mojave somewhere near route 15 I believe but they are going for that new vegas feel to it with the western sytle themes and the legion, yes they were on the east side of the coloradro river but didnt stretch from there to east coast of the united states. we also do not know what year it is as well. enclave eyebots were made around the fallout 3 era. when the broken steel dlc came around the eyebot program was shut down do to focus study on enclave hellfire armor.

[@cboehm24]

Very cool stuff. The sound on this video isn't great, though, and running the music under the sound really makes it tough to hear at times.

[@NiklasVonKnorring]

I would love an AirSoft version of that gun!

[@rodtheworm]

@ZUPERCURTIS It's not all that expensive really. Certainly if you want a number of sturdy props which look the same, or you want a scene where something gets damaged, these techniques will be very useful.

[@MrRoeljanssen]

yeah ! like some sort of....hidden valley bunker scene for brotherhood of steel encounter :P or NCR power armor heavy trooper

[@EMAZT3R55]

@MysticAFI This isn't Indy Mogul, this is Wayside Creations

[@guitarded306]

Perhaps they should change the channel name to "Ralis talks to Zack while making casts and molds."

[@bandardantoly]

Me and my friends are making an Apocalyptic themed movie. I was wondering, would it be fun to do a Fallout movie or our own Apocalyptic type thing?

[@basic204]

can you give a list of stuff you used to make the models ? I would love to build them for a costume

[@cloudedjourney]

That's so cool. How much does it cost at the end of it all for all the materials?

[@MegaFalloutAddict]

MICRO-FUSION CELLS GOD DAMIT

[@FJN19]

u guys should make a shitload of those guns and sell them to fund the Nuka Break series!

[@treetheoak]

that was impressive

[@shinagaza84]

What's up guys? I actually made a prop gun that goes with a suit of armor that i'm making for a halloween costume. It was really simple. I took a 2x4 and cut it into a stock shape, then cut the handle and trigger off of an old airsoft gun, and gorilla glued it to the bottom of the stock. then I just used some 2" PVC pipe as the barrel screwed to the top of the stock, and then I just put some pieces off of an old satellite dish for looks. it looks awesome, and the only money i spent was on glue.

[@ThomasTheBanana]

(Speech 50) I'll give you 300 caps and a Sunset Sasparilla Star for that Pip-boy.
