countdown timer

[jp575]

in the other forums it says that you can put a countdown timer on a bomb using an editing application? How is this done? Was this done in the hollow point movie? I have a bomb prop that is similar to the hollow point one, but the countdown timer isn't working so is there a way to do this in a program instead?

thanks

Hear! Hear! and I like the microwave idea! I had to do one in a paint programe and then flick through the images! lol might have been before microwaves so, I might be safe.
