FxGuru: Movie FX Director

Apps

It doesn’t get much more small budget than making films on your phone, but luckily FXGuru: Movie FX Director allows you to incorporate some pretty big budget effects. Add explosions, UFOs and falling satellites to your videos, or just film your sworn enemy (everyone has a sworn enemy, right?) and spend hour after hour blowing them up with petrol bombs. Your choice. Also, while normally you’d expect the promo video to exaggerate how realistic the effects actually look, but we tried it out and it’s pretty accurate. Only problem is, while it’s a free app, unlocking some of the more desirable effects will require you to open your wallet…
