Stainless Fake Blood?

[HTCahHTC]

Hello everyone!

before we start, i think it's best if i fill you guys up with the scene (CU of hand taking chopper, tracks away to WS to face white wall. Shadows can be seen of 2 people fighting. 1 kills the other...)

Now the problem is, how can i splash blood on the wall without staining it? is there any recipe or anything? :dunno:
i'm seriously lost here. tried googling but all said it stains.

can someone help me?

*sorry if i posted this on the wrong section...

The only solution I could think of is using special effects.

That's what I thought of. but it will not look great.

how about buying a large amount of clear plastic table covering, and cover up the area u are going to splash the blood at. it's clear anyway so it wouldn't be much of a problem but lighting reflections are a problem

yeah, and besides that, the shadows casting on the wall wont look real.

I'm not a veteran filmmaker, but I do wonder: Must it be a wall? It could, for example, be a bit of expendable mounting board textured to look wall-like. Then you won't worry about the wall getting stained, ne?

The blood won't stain the wall.... I have done it countless times. just wipe off with some detergent and cloth.

Agreee,
you can shot it splash on some black or white board (depends on your shot) as long as you got the same lighting and environment, it can be composite in and still looks good.

If the wall is finished in a matt or eggshell it may stain, if the wall was finished in a satin, sheen, or gloss, it'll wipe away.

Also depending on the quality of the paint even with matt it'll wipe away if it's a good quality paint. Generally speaking outdoor walls and bathroom walls usually get painted with a finish leaning more towards gloss for easy cleanup.

put a small amount on a little area, and wash it off with warm soapy water, if it leaves a mark then don't do it, if it doesn't then splash away... Whats the worse that can happen, you have to clean the wall and go buy a small pint of white paint to repaint the section you dyed.

Best,
Adam

Hi Guys...

You got to do it in 3 passes.
(1) 1st Pass: Film the background i.e. the wall you want the blood on it.
(2) 2nd Pass: Film the actual splashing of blood but do it on green background. It can be matt green plastic sheet or green vanguard sheet.
(3) Composite the (1) & (2) together using chromakey.

Hope that helps.

nice idea but special effects are troubleosme and may not turn out the way u'd expect

I have not tried with blood, but with ink, spray the wall with dulling spray and make sure you have the downward path covered. After the shoot, mop up the stain first using cloth, then clean with damp cloth to get rid of the dulling spray.

Hi, Most of them state that you have to test the fabric to see if it stains
