Horror Films Need Blood

            Horror Films, Blood Drive

    Let’s face one fact that if you are going to make a modern horror film you are going to need blood. Your actors are filled with it and if they do not mind bleeding for the cause the you could go that route other wise you are going to have to make some of the fake stuff.

    There is a simple way to do this and most fake blood is made the same way. You can experiment on the basic recipe and come up with a look and thickness that suits your project best. With the use of Dslr cameras to shoot many films I have noticed that some of the blood looks to bright and thick to be realistic. You need to be careful and do a few test before you settle on the blood that you are going to use.

    Here are quick tutorials on making blood.

     Okay now that we have looked at fake blood how about fake skin for your digital feature film. It will involve getting some liquid latex and if you are one of those people who are allergic to latex I can not help you. (Okay do not cry, if you have to you can use silicone inside of latex.)

    You are going to need this skill even if you are not shooting a horror film. Blood and stab wounds have to look realistic in action and or dramas. And if you are one of those people shooting a walking dead or zombie film this make up effect is a must.
