Intestine rope tutorial!

Post by Theshapecool »

Ok heres a tutorial I wrote a few weeks back that some of you may find useful!:


INTESTINES! (The Sledge/Diaper Rope Technique)

You will need:
Climbing/Thick Rope
Liquid Modelling Latex
Red Acrylic paint
Black Acrylic paint
Fake Gel Blood
Bowl
Brush
Cheap


Step one:
You will need to put the rope somewhere so its hanging vertically but pulled tight. So cut the rope slightly longer than you need it so you can put it somewhere. It needs to be tight/Taught otherwise painting it will be a nightmare.

Step Two:
Get an old bowl, Fill it with about a teaspoon on red acrylic paint then mix in as much liquid latex as you need to paint the rope. NOTE: you MUST use ACRYLIC paint to colour the latex, any other paint will ruin the latex and simply not work

Step Three:
Mix it all together well so it looks like yo got pink/red cream going on.

Step Four:
Paint the rope all over with a good few layers of the latex. be generous as the end product will look alot better this way. NOTE: Coloured Latex dries much darker than it looks when its mixed, so remember this when colouring and adding paint. NOTE: when painting it on the rope, use an old brush as latex will ruin the brush after one use. NEVER get latex on your clothes, it will never come out.

Step Five:
Let the rope dry, it should look like a red rubber thick cord. When you are filming the scene, add Gel Blood all over the rope nice and thick!

Step Six:
Sit in the cinema and watch the audience turn away,vomit and cheer! (not necessarily in that order)
