About FxGuru – how to control UFOs from your Andoid phone
Well not really control UFOs, just add them in videos. Because that’s what FxGuru does, it’s a free app for Android that allows you to add special effects to any videos right from your device. Want to create a video where there’s an UFO hovering in the distance? Bam, you can with FxGuru, add it and amaze your friends. And those are not the only effects that can be created, this is a full list of free effects that can be added:

  • Film a falling old satellite when it crashes from the sky down to Earth
  • Add an UFO landing craft as it hovers above you
  • Throw a barrel full of TNT destroying anything in site

On top of these, there are some others available for in-app purchases:

  • Sci-Fi Movie / Futuristic / Alien FX: Mech Attack; UFO Arrival; UFO Invasion; UFO Calling; Alien Probe; Meteor Strike
  • Action Movie / Weapons / Military FX: Flamethrower; Cruise Missiles; Molotov Cocktail; Bunker Buster; Grenade; Building Demolition; Rocket Launcher

This video shows some of them in action, I just love the UFO hovering one. Just imagine having a video filmed in low light with one of these barely shown in the sky, you’ll fool your family that you’ve just been the witness of something incredible:
