How can I realistically achieve stabs with a knife, cardboard, and 11 dollars(canadian)? Visit my new and improved website http://members.tripod.com/~FilmSam/[This message has been edited by Sam (edited 07-31-98).]

can you describe the scene in full detail? I could probably tell you if I knew exactly what you are doing.

Here's the excerpt from the script:\n#34 INT. HALLWAY-DAY\nPAKISTANI BODYGUARD 1 (who from now on will be known as BODY. 1) slowly, and cautiously walks in, camera tracks following his footsteps. CU on his knife, as he grabs the handle. MS of JENNER walking out of his office. BODY. 1 Walks up behind Jenner and takes out the knife. Jenner turns around. Jenner runs, screaming for help when body. 1 catches up to him and holds his jaw up. BODY 1 stabs jenner in the jugular, and the artery shoots blood miles. Jenner drops as BODY.1 takes knife out.\nos:\nBODY. 1 stabs jenner 3 more timesM/CU of body 1 stabbing jenner 2 more times (6 stabs in all)

Ok, first when the man stabs. Show just the man holding the knife and the hand stab. Then\nshow the knife lodged in the throat. Do this\nby taking the knife itself(or a foam rubber duplicate) and cut off part of the end. Cut it off as much as you want it to go in. Attach small blood tubing to the side of the knife away from the camera. Or if your using a duplicate you can make a hole go all the way through the knife for the tubing(this will look more real).have maybe 2 tubes. 3 if it's not enough blood. Make the tube run down the killer's arm away from the camera. Make the tubing end just off screen. Attach the largest syringes you can(probably not very large) to the tubing. When you film the part w/ the knife in the throat, just pump the blood through the tubing, you and an assistant. Then when they pull it out, Just film the top half of the killer(with the thoat wound just off screen) and have him just pretend to pull it out. Thats it. Good\nluck!

Oh I forgot to talk about the last few stabs.
I would probably not show the person getting stabbed(like in psycho) for creative reasons.
Have the person stab, into something with blood in it. then show the body on the ground w/ the other stab wounds. Oh, and also for the throat wound. It would look better and more realistic if the person had blood in their mouth and when they get stabbed have them gurgle it out of their mouth.
