This was a great dvd. It had great equipment recomendations and explained taping techniques in detail. I'd recomend it to anyone wanting to get started in custom painting.
Great video - very informative.Craig Frazer is a fabulous artist. It was interesting to see that even he makes mistakes and how he covers them up.
An excellent video with lots of discussion and details. A no BS approach with great advice and tips from an expert. You won't regret renting this video.
Yes, I would recommend this movie [radical helmet graphix]. It was well done and if anybody is looking to learn how to airbrush, I would recommend this movie. Good close ups and a lot of graphix information I give it a "TEN". Ross E.
I liked this video. It is what you would expect from Craig Frazier. He does a lot in a short time and speaks very fast. Video and close ups shots are first rate. You get to see everything he does with no mystery. I liked seeing how how masked and freehand airbrushed the skulls. He makes it look very easy. The helmet is impressive and all, but not something I would want or try to copy. I am catching on that these are really sales videos. The design he uses maximizes the need to buy at least 3 different Iwata airbrushes, 2 artools templates, 4-5 masking products of various varieties, 11+ House of Kolor paints of all colors of the rainbow and HOK additives. To reproduce the helmet on this video would require a substantial investment. The big Iwata sign in the back is prominent throughout. I would love to see Craig do a video where he was not required to sell anything. I think his work is looking too much the same. He does say you have to keep trying new things and all, yet this helmet looks exactly like something out of his Cheap Tricks and Special Effects book. He has tremendous talent, but I think he is constrained by having to sell and incorporating as much merchandise in each piece that he can squeeze out. If you can get past the merchandising to see and hear his tips & techniques, it is very good. I don't fault him for being an artistic salesman. He wants to make a good living and he is excellent at what he does.
