Low-Budget Filmmaking Tip #160

Band-Aids don’t always work.

There’s a reason ordinary people don’t do explosive squibs all the time — because it’s so easy to screw up.

And there’s a reason there isn’t a lot of practical effects that involve plugging into the AC mains — because that’s a lot of power going into one human being.

And there’s a really, really, really good reason these two things are never combined.

Thank you, Brian Oberquell!
