hmm okay well apart from most of the footage being completely identical to your other movie i saw a lens flare a cross fade and you smiling like a idiot with blood in your mouth?

the ONLY good shot i saw in there was the table getting blood spattered on it... nice interesting angle and the blood looks good. so you found a nice blood mixture time to move on i think.

Its a heckler and kosch USP the sticky out barrel is for screwing a silencer onto.
That videos cool in that the blood is good but you really should use it in something else (blood doesnt deserve a video all to itself)
You making a vampire film ?

Yes i am making a vampire film and these are just some tests.
Its going to be slightly like buffy, but its going to be from a vampires point of view and he gets bored of being a vampire so he starts to kill everything. He stars to have witchcraft inflicted dreams and it makes him look through a humans point of view and he gets really p*** off with the vampires for doin that, although he is one, and he keeps having these kinda fits where he turnes into himself, then like a human.
The hand is like the swordy thing in underworld when lucian jumps on top of selenes car and stabs through the roof and gets her then she passes out, and i didnt know what it was called and i asked people what it was, they didnt know, its also on saw and an episode of buffy on a cop.

its a katar i think

Katana, probably, if you're referring to the Japanese "ninja sword" or "samurai sword". Morpheus uses one in Matrix Reloaded on top of the semi truck. I didn't see Underworld, but I seem to recall seeing katanas in use in the trailers. Could be wrong though.

Photo of a katana so you can tell for sure.

so.. what did you use for blood? ,p

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Tue May 09, 2006 6:45 am

Yeah, i think it is a katar.
I used sugar syrup and red and green food coloring. Very easy, use as much sugar as u want to make it thicker.
Heres what i did:
Mixed 2 cups of sugar with 2 cups of water over a stove.
I waited for it to cool down
I put it in the fridge until it was cold (which takes for ever)
I added red and green food coloring until it looked black-ish and when the blood gets stuck to the side for a few secs it looks red. (its so it looks dark, but obviously not too dark)
And by the way, dont add too much food coloring or it will stain too quickly.

Hello, New here

.
I tried that blood thing.. recipe I mean.. Worked well, thank you.
As a buffy fan I think you'r idea is good, hope you can create a good script from it.
by the way... Vampires in buffy (and in general) turn to dust, not smoke... I did an effect like that...
I will upload it when I get a chance...
