lol. . .i will try that. errrm. . thanks - both of you?

but most people havnt seen a bullet hit the ground - its all about illusion really.

For the ground and tree hits im going to add half talk half dirt, the only problem is dirt doesnt "float" like talk. I cud add food dye to the talk and let it dry, i might try that. As DEDFX said, for a close-up shot I am going to fill 1/4 of the popper with talk and then put the cap back ...

it sounds alot like that Johnny Depp movie. . .
The Secret Window i think it is.

It sounds like a really good idea, better than the first one anyway.

So the guy is like a schizo? Kills people but dont know it?

the only reason WW2 seemed to involve the whole world was because the USA got involved. If they hadnt there would not have been half as much publicity about it and a fractino of the Hollywood WW2 films would have been made, and if they had they would have been low budget(in hollywood terms" mov...

get some reaaaally heavy tackles in, the kind where you can see the teeth fly out the helmet and stuff

well u can either use the same colour tape as the shirt, ot hide it under a jacket or something. For one of them i taped it to the inside of my jacket to get a centre of the chest shot. You can also put it in your breast pocket if you can run the string through a small hole or something. Be creative...

well. . . its only really visible in close up shots. . . so its really up to you. . .
my friend bought one with blowback and all that happens is the shaft moves back a couple of centimetres so its not really that great

Sorry to sound dumb - but what is interlacing?

hahah that made me laugh.

Anyway, pretty good, if you could conceal it a bit more and not hav a chunky ol ridge in the shirt it wud rock, gj

hmmm, im in the UK and if they ship here it would cost a bomb

oh and I cant make them like slimdog as I cant get my hands on firecrackers and most of the cast members just wouldnt wear one. One is even dubious about strapping one of them^^ to their leg.

yeah, on the 1st body hit I put waaaay too much in, but the second I thik we got it pretty well as it dissapates just after

I had a problem with compressed air and i didnt want to run costumes and stuff with blood, this is pretty non stainging just a white mark u can pat off

hahah no problems

and finally:



Its been taped to Ed and Luke is extending the string so when its pulled it looks a bit more like a natural stance.

Heres the kit I used:



Purple bottle is talcon powder (99p) used party poppers (45px 99p) and a cup to contain the talcon powder and a spoon to fill the poppers with

ohhh lol, sorry i read it as powder lol. I must admit i was surprised at the amount of power when i first did it - but even though they are powerful, they dont hurt. I taped some to my skin and exploded them straight onto my hand in an attempt to get another actor to wear one for our final shoot. He...

Okay, my mate edited them together. . .so i cant show you each individual clip and explain but here's the rundown: Shot 1, Activated from extended string out (well not so out) of shot Shot 2, a long piece of nylon string held by the guy with the gun, attached to the popper on my shirt Shot 3, "...

they dont, you have to take them apart, and put them back together with talcon powder in.

Thanks :D, Actually I can post a pic as I had to take some for an art project, I'll show you what I used and where we put them too, when i put the next videos up. And yeah, i actually got the idea from Saving Private Ryan and war films. A party popper isn't really a gun, its like a little container ...

if your sneaking up you could use my first suggestion if its attacking a stylish way would be: It lunges at you with its right arm, You parry the strike and grab his right wrist with your left hand and roll so you are back to back, You then put your right hand over and grab its hair/head and sink do...

Basically, I emptied out a party popper and put different amounts of talcon powder in (more for ground shots, less for bullet hits) then gaffer tape to the body, extended the string with a shoestring or nylon string (depending on the length needed) and pull! I have been out and made some more so i'l...

Okay, so we were testing out our bullet hits today. The movies have a black bit at the beginning for a few seconds sometimes. What do you think?
