Freddie Wong and his team are sick of shooting their videos at the same place. So they’re taking special effects laden videos on the road. For the next month, they’ll be travelling the United States in an RV, going to where our viewers are and making videos with them! If you want to participate and help out, Submit your info here! They need locations, actors, props, and more. Nothing about on the route is planned out yet, so they need your information to make this trip a success. The whole project is basing entirely on submissions..
Here’s a statement from Fredie Wong:
We pitched the idea to YouTube, and thankfully they didn’t think we were totally nuts, and are helping us finance this whole thing through the YouTube Grant Program. So for the month of October, we’re going to be cruising around in an RV with no concrete plans and going wherever the road takes us.
Because we’re no longer in LA, we no longer will have access to the things we usually do. That’s where we’re hoping our viewers can help – be it with volunteering to be actors/extras, volunteering props, or tipping us off and letting us in on cool locations around the country. So do you want to show up in one of our videos? Got some sweet swords or horses or something? Or do you want to just hang out with us and grab a bite to eat? This is our chance to finally meet some of you in person!

Here’s some of the special effects videos from Freddie Wong and his crew: YouTube Hackers, Live Action Time Crisis, Flower Warfare, Rocket Jump with Freddie Wong, and Gun Size Matters.
