fake glass- Fake Glass and Candy Glass for Filmmaking
How can I make fake glass? Like, the kind which you can jump through and not kill yourself...
I have a book called The Prop Builders Molding and Casting Handbook and it tells two ways. Try to find it at an art store.
Hello, Jstern!
I've always wanted to make a window pane to smash through, but have never had the time to do it. I even own some low melt resin I bought from Alcone Theatrical Supplies.
Lately, however, I've been entertaining doing the shot in the computer. I have a pretty decent physics simulation program for Lightwave 3d called "Impact", and have done a few simulations. I have yet to composite them in the scene, though.
I would love to see this technique done by someone, if they have the time.
Good luck!
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!!!
I have been cut on "safe" breakaway glass, if you land on it or slide across it, it can and will cut you! I prefer to use tempered glass, but with that you risk getting it in your eyes! (and they do not heal well).
Treat all glass as such, remember, it's the simple gags that get you...
Play safe,
Nick
Hello Jestren.
If you have a video card in your pc for eksample a miro video dc 10 plus, you can make a move where you or some other actor/actress jump thru nothing. And then you put the move in to the pc and use a prog called truspace to make a fake glass put the object in ascii code in to a prog called exporer and then in adobe premiere to put the film together with the fake class..

Okay, thats all cool.
But I was kind of thinking of the kind you bake in cookie sheets. I've heard of doing it and was hoping for some details. Do you do it with sugar water? Any info appreciated.
