If your home videos have been looking a bit tame, and you’ve been yearning for some Instagram action on them, now’s your opportunity.

FXGuru: Movie FX allows you to add Hollywood-style special effects to any Android video. So you can startle your friends with a movie about them which ends with a crashing spacecraft! But don’t tell them how you did this technique, which comes straight from big budget productions. Let them sweat it out, thinking you have suddenly acquired some amazing technical skills.

There’s a massive array of stunning sci-fi action from the devs Picadelic, including some realistic explosions. You can add realism while filming and the effects last for long enough to get some enhanced features in there too.

We found the Virtual Decals very good, they show you how to match up your video so that nobody will ever know that wasn’t a real spaceship crashing!

FxGuru provides three overlays for free and the rest can be unlocked with an Fxguru code.

Hollywood FxGuru  in your pocket

There are three free effects in this free to play Android version of FxGuru: Movie FX.

You can grab a satellite as it crashes, film a UFO as it screams frighteningly overhead or send your enemies an explosive barrel to wipe them out, on film only of course!

This really is tremendous, we love it and there are lots of other things you can get with in-app purchases including a UFO invasion, meteor strike, weapons like a flamethrower and Cruise missiles. If you want all the special effects you’ll need to invest around £5.99 but we think FxGuru: Movie FX is something you’ll really enjoy.
