How do you pull off the effect of the lingering mist of blood after a bullet exits?
Y'know, the stuff that looks like you sneezed
kool-aid. |

What you need to do is buy what is called a Bulet Hit Plate. Before I goon I want to advisse that this is a very dangerous thing to do and can hurt, or kill if not done by a Profeshinal. Anyways here is what is done in films such as "The Matrix" and many, many other movies:1. you need the Bulet Hit Plate (Which is prety much a metal plate that goes under the clothing, more about that in a minite.) 2. 3. Fake Blood 4. A easly broken bag, such as a Condom What you do is place this Bulet Hit Plate under the actors clothing, on top of the Metal plate (Bulet Hit Plate)
(Preferbly a Condom) Duble youre check youre work, then Score the actors clothing a litle bit so the blood flows a little easer. Blood all over the place!

The directions given were not by any means a good idea, or even correct. Please ignore them, and don't attempt any explosive method.Now for what I think was your actuall question. If I understand correctly, you want to know how to have the fine spray of blood hang in the air. There are two ways, one using CG, the other is using a high speed camera to shoot the scene in slow motion. There is no way to keep gravity from doing it's thing. You either fake it with computer graphics, or use a camera running a high frame rate. I think you would need something like 96 frames per second or better for what you are wanting. It can not be done with a video camera. Before anyone yells, there are some that can run faster, and shoot in slow motion, but they are beyond the price range of 99% of the people on this board. As a reminder to those new members, and trial members, do NOT suggest ways of doing body hits with explosives. The post will be edited, or removed. Play nice, and be safe. ------------------

ok...the above method is dangerous, expensive, and you need a class C license to do it, and you can't get squibs without it. I can think of a few things that would be more suited to you.
1)You could film it, and take it into premiere, or photo shop..etc.. and use a spray of red and add some mist2)this second one is probally the easiest. You can cut the shooting in a few angles. However you want them is up to you.....then just have a close up of the exit woundand just usea spray(water)bottle. Just fill it with red liquid and give it a spray(make sure the clothing is pre cut). If you have the shot in slow motion it would look better.....if your clothing doesn't weigh too much, your pressure of the spray will give it a push making it look more realistic just try some things out...experiment.....and keep your mind open |

I posted a reply to this last night and it disapeared.
Believe it or not this is ALSO a make-up question. The way blood sprays and lingers like a mist depends on the thinness of the blood. Somewhat thin(but not to watery) blood will spray through the air from a small explosion or when blown through a device via compressed air. The larger the amount of blood, the more visible it will be and will stay in the air longer. |

Hey Goremaster,This truthfully can fall into either category of forums. Gladly, things that don't belong here are making their way slowly into the proper forums so not to worry. We try to keep an eye out for things that blatantly don't fit. You know, I have no idea why your posts sometimes disappear. Honestly no reason for it that I can think of unless Dale removes them. But I hardly think he would for no reason. Nor would Critter or I do that. You have too much to contribute to dump your posts. So I have no idea what's going on. Be sure to go out of the LAS board and then refresh the view and then come back to see that it's still there. Hey, after all it's a computer thing ya know?  And these things are a pain in the you know what. But for Heaven's sake, keep posting. FXMan [This message has been edited by FXMan (edited 02-11-2000).] |

I know that none of you removed it. An error probably occured when I posted it. That is what I thought happened. Yes, this question
can go in this forum as well. IT leans more toward the make-up area however. That is why I said it was a make-up question, not to jump on anyone's back, but to help point out what is make-up and what is other. As you said, people are starting to distinguish what goes where. That is really the only reason I keep
saying "this is a make-up question". After a while people will become more familiar with the different areas. But anyway, thank you fxman. |

The Method posted by me, is very corect to corect. In fact that is the main way the effect is achived in most if not ALL movies. If the reader chooses not to heed my worning then yes, odds are you will be hurt! That is why I said the effect should only be done by a profesinal, the pro would have the proper licence (Not a class C one by the way. The sqib can be bought under a theatricol licenes wich is much easyer to recive). Any ways so don't try my post if you don't have a pro on site! ------------------

Here's a method that is super low budget, and super low-tech, but does the job as good as any method I've seen.You need two things. The first is an extremely watery blood mixture. The best idea is water and food coloring, as both basically have a density of one. The second thing you need is a spray bottle with an adjustable release nozzle. If you can't figure out what do do next, email me, and I'll help you add a and b together. |

Honestly I don't see how it could still be complicated to everyone. The effect can be done with almost any compressed air method. You just need the right amount of blood and it needs to be thin enough. Water with coloring is not recommended. Trust me, I have done an effect like this countless times. I have even created a spray/mist bullet effect by accident. It really is too simple. | |
