Why I'm Covered In Blood...
 

Well, your friendly neighborhood Brodie-Man is covered in blood. Now not to alarm you, it's not real. I have an assignment for Film Studies, to make my own film. And I've procrastinated so much that I decided to start filming. My film is a super hero flick, and I decided since I didn't have anyone else to film scenes with here, I decided to film some shots of my reaction-esque scenes. Most of which will be cut ins to when I have the fight with someone else, and get the **** kicked out of me (first half, I come back strong..) And I made fake blood (Karo syrup and red food coloring.) and I did so much falling, spitting, puking, anything with blood coming from my mouth. One shot was me falling, hard, and a close up of me spitting up blood, which in turn covered my face.

Now this **** is sticky. If left on long enough it dries. Just ask Mr. Bruce Campbell.

But Man, did I get some bad ass shots. I looked like I was ready to end up killing someone in the pick up shots. And the blood cover seemed like something from Cabin Fever (The Sean from Boy Meets World kid). I feel kinda proud of myself.

The only tragedy of this is that my Mighty Mouse shirt got blood on it, and I don't know if it's gonna come out. Bad because I haven't shot most of the stuff with me in the shirt yet.

Dude, does that mean you're getting blood all over your computer?

Kick-ass stuff, making your own film! You ever film boiled cherries exploding out of pans? That makes a good gore effect.

I've heard food coloring & chocolate milk work for blood too. Do they?

Would it be possible for you to show us?

hm....I might be able to take some ****** pics of my tv. But nothing too good till I get the film edited and burned to a cd. Lemme see.

Here's some crappy pics.

Edit: Pics removed. E-mail me for them.

You look like you had the sh*t successfully kicked out of you. Props for making your own film, even if it's just for a class. I've been trying to crack down and do one for years.

I know what you're talking about when you say it is sticky. For a haunted house at school one time we used corn syrup for blood. It was on the floor, so when people went through the haunted house, their shoes got stuck to the floor. Some people had to leave barefoot because they couldn't get their shoes unstuck.

Looks like Brodie has been playing with mommy's lipstick again.

:lol: Now THAT is evil. Remind me to do that this halloween. I'll put corn syrup on our steps, and have a healthy collection of kids shoes by the time i'm done.

Impressive

Thanks for the input. But might be a problem. I shot when there's snow on the ground, and now it's melting. So either it stays till saturday, or I'm SOL, and need to reshoot.

P.S.: Taking the pics down.

Sounds cool. The shots you out looked really well done (I'm complimented for my framing and lighting and stuff)

At uni we get to make short films, a couple of friends and I did a piece last year and got a 1st (an A in degree terms) for it. It was about a man being interrogated over the death of his wife and you see the stories of the murder (what the police officer says happened and what the man said happened). It was funny because the friend of mine playing the abducted and murdered wife acted really well and people around the woods where we shot it must have been really freaked out by her screaming and stuff. Oh and it turns out the police officer interrogating the man and accusing him of killing his wife was actually posing and was actually the murderer (sick guy huh?)

I'm helping the friend who wrote the script with a full length film we have planned. It's another film noir type affair and could shape up to be really interesting
