But I think what's really cool is that we're going to guide a guy who hasn't done it through this process and continue. him safe There are a lot of things involved in keeping someone safe, especially sending someone into a fire who has never been on fire. I love seeing people's first reactions and just the ownership of fire and learning the basics of fire, how fire always moves forward. Do you want to keep it behind you away from your face?

We are all professionals. We have grown through the ranks and learned the test through fire. We just want to educate them about what's going on. Don't do this. . It's a very bad idea. People's first question is always what does it feel like? Well, in general, like nothing, you're just freezing, as Eric mentioned in previous videos. It's the rest of the adrenaline, the gel, you shouldn't feel anything because as soon as you feel any kind of heat Well, you're in trouble, but it's fun if done correctly with the right equipment, you guys, the right thing. Yes sir.

the fire again. When you set someone on fire, you have a protector through the fire gel, but you can't just put fire gel on it, you know? , then you are adding fuel to the fire. Gel Which is what really catches fire. Yes, it is not the fireproof gel itself. The fire retardant gel is strictly as a barrier to protect you against fire.
Now, some of the things that we're going to help the fire retardant gel with are these different layers of fire protective clothing. There are many different types, there are no mechs. There is fire resistant cotton. There is something called carbon. Everything has its own specific uses. Ultimately, what we're going to do for this one is use this layer of cotton on two shirts for you. Yes that's fine. This layer is called pbi. This is actually fireproof. Well, it doesn't catch fire. Well, normal, that's the weird part. That's crazy. Everyone will say: What if you put it in lava?
Does this burn at any point? Yes, it will be, but at that point your eyeballs will melt out of your head, okay? Sweet, so we don't have to worry about that. We will never reach those types of temperatures. We'll set you on fire with the coldest fire possible, which will make sense to me. Keep it as safe as possible, right? Now, the other component of this is going to be fire. Gel. There are many different types of fire. Gel We have action factories that do not gel today. These are some of the best things in the business.
So that's what we'll use great if you say it's all essentially organic. Can I eat this? Yeah, wait, really? Eddie likes it to be something fresh, actually fresh and nice. It's like a honey, honey and mint. I like that. That is cute. So what we're going to do is take this and completely cover the clothing with it right on our left arm. Which truth? Shapes on the left arm just in case You're probably going to be cold, it somehow draws heat from your body. That's okay, and eventually we'll put it over your head and above all to keep you safe.
Okay, and then He'll put that closet on top of you. So you have three layers of clothing. They are all covered in fire. Gel and then another layer of clothing that will burn. I'm excited to be honest. Thank you. Is it a nervous emotion? You know, as you can see, this is a very time-consuming process. Normally when we do this on set we need about 45 minutes notice once our guy is completely ready in an ideal state. situation We walked him straight to the set and set him on fire As if there wasn't much downtime. What will happen if you wait too long?
The gel that I have up here will start to slide down his arm and we will pull it up down here and I will also do the same on his legs. He will still have some gel, but the ideal system throughout his body begins to break down. Over time, so you don't want it sitting there for three hours waiting for it to settle into five. I feel like an extra 10 to 12 pounds. Wait until your little body is 40 pounds heavier. Feel like a ketchup packet. Take this out like this. Well. So should we move on and stop trying the guys' bourbon?
Yeah, we're fine just because of the size of this burn, it's most likely going to burn or B. We're just going to throw a little damp cloth on it because this is very small if something goes wrong. Let me. As a team, handle this, everyone just take a step back. We will take care of it. Make sure the clean feels good. Do I have to stop falling and rolling at some point? Not well. We'll get you cold sauce, so let's put some fuel on. This is what's burning amazing for now. Mel is like hot glue. He said I think so.
I'm on fire. Good morning, I feel pretty good. I'm just looking at some fire. Right now I'm so warm I still don't. So let me know if we're still a long way from getting started. Well, could you cook us more about this? Do you think it would be positive? Good friend, is it a little warm? Yes, a little, a little. So that just dissipated. It will heat up your fire, which is what we want to avoid. Especially when we're doing a bigger burn with you. It's hot? You must inform us when it is heating up. So we can put it out even once the fire is out if it's still hot.
The same heat could cause a burn on your skin, even if the fire is completely extinguished. It would literally be cooked. Yes, my bean, you cooked it a lot. You've cooked? Okay, cool, man, so I don't want to completely engulf you in flames just yet. Once it starts going around your face and everything, it'll be a whole different matter if you're comfortable with it. What I would like to do is completely prepare your entire body and set your legs on fire. Okay, let's let my legs burn because I don't know if I'm ready for full body yet, honestly, I'm like, I'm okay with it, but my whole body like my two arms and my legs and my back are.
Look and if that's something you're not prepared for, there's no pressure. Ready, yeah, let's do it. I arrive at the tones they give to all the girls. Yes, the tuition is large for the firstborn. You have to take a big spoonful of this and put it on your crotch. Because I won't, but you guys, oh, oh, yeah, just. put it in It's not like that, I don't really love you, you're not a series 104. I think about a third time, I have to get two of you and windows. God, damn it. Why, by the way, just that part, that was completely unnecessary.
It was just a message. This smells good and fresh. This is what I'll be for Halloween, friend. I've been to the airport. I have been a TSA before and was also a TSA agent at the same time. No, that would be the first time. Yes friend. Yes, that is, the breath that enters through the nose and leaves through the nose. I really feel like a salamander taking pictures, so great. Okay, okay, chances are if you're watching this video you like making movies and chances are you watch a channel. You probably like the visual effects. Now, when you're doing visual effects, you generally need two elements to add your footage to.
Explosions, blood splashes. What causes that kind of thing is when you have to go and buy a pack of like 20 blood hits just to use the pair. It's a little expensive. So we've teamed up with V Action Effects to curate what we call the Battle Box. It's a collection of all the elements you need to create a cool action scene at an affordable price. We've taken the best from each package. A couple of explosions, a couple of blood splatters, a couple of flashes and sparks. All the good stuff and the action, the effects, man. They simply highlight it with their elements.
They are such high quality items. Your calm digital runner cuts battle boxes. I'll link it in the description below. I think you will enjoy it if you try to get individual effects yourself. Come on, Mike Clint on fire. Whenever we stop talking, we are now focused overall. It's just silent work, like Clint's concentration of incense. He is breathing through his nose. It's harder now. He is trying not to sugarcoat and be cold. I wonder if he's sorry now, but either way he is too. I turn back. It's just a way to warm them up. We've layered it with all the layers that Reid gelled as we put each layer on to make sure it's nice and thick.
This rubber suit isn't necessary for this one, but we'll do it anyway. It was just kind of a help to show the process. The suit essentially keeps the gel inside. I feel like a garbage dump that's already space junk, man. That's Steve, I'm Steve, did you know we're doing it right now? You just liked to pick something up. Weapons Okay, turn this off so there's a place to park. I am a considerate owner. I am NOT just any owner. Who am I? I'm Lord clearly in about ten minutes Clint is going to do his first full body burn Where is he going to do this by the way?
Wait a minute buddy, really? Oh, you're covering that we'll make sure the burn marks go away and I did it about 30 years ago and I had to put this gel on and I did it on fire while I was on fire jumping and it looked cool, God. This is great. You know, when you try to run but you can't, yeah, fight, but you can't, that's how I feel right now, buddy. I feel like Frickin Chum though. What we will do is feed both your legs. Yeah, and then we'll go ahead and set it on fire. Okay, so when you start to feel like it's hot, I want you to go ahead and call it Oh, there's not much wind here.
But once we get out, it'll be a little different. Well great. Okay, everyone ready. Do it, move a little. I always liked you Yes, yes Joe, yes people show that they move forward and go back. Like it felt good. I can feel some warmth, the slightest warmth in my legs and that is very nice for now because I am quite cold, which I would like.

I love those moments and that was definitely one. In those moments I felt like I could run three or four times that distance, but who knows? Maybe there's like a spike right after doubling that distance. It's like I'm on fire and I'm actually burning. I don't know, I don't want to push the limits, you know, but it felt good like I didn't feel on fire. I don't feel like I'm on fire right now. I feel like a great work of art. That's what I call a work of art and it went in. You have two good takes and Clint is doing great.
