Squib
I'm in a rush and need a recipe for non-explosive squibs, preferably made from materials around the house. I've tried the fake-blood-in-egg method (didn't work) and don't want to go and buy a pesticide sprayer at the moment. Any easy methods you gys know of?

RE: Squib
Thanks for your sarcasm. As for exposure.co.uk, of course I've seen that. As I said, I dont have time or money for the sprayer.

RE: Squib
well you've sort of avoided any way of anyone helping you, you wont use explosives and wont have something that uses air-pressure.
not really a great and effective solution unless you want the guy to use a syringe or something. Pesticide sprayers are only like $40 bucks anyway.

Fill a little baggie of some kind up and shoot it with an airsoft gun. Tada, now you even have the effect of impact, only drawback is the actor has to get shot.
Who ever said digital is better than film should hang for treason.

If your guy is getting shot in front of a wall, get a sponge and soak up fake blood. Then tape it to his back (make sure he wears a dark shirt), when he gets shot have him fly backwards into the wall which will cause the blood to fly all over the wall for a nice exit wound effect. Plus since it's a dark shirt, no worries about seeing entrance wounds, etc. And if you want add some digi blood, or some smoke stock for a better a shot effect.
Well, yeah, referring to prodigyfilms inc's idea, you don't necesarily have to shoot the actor. You could do a close up of the piece of body that you are shooting, but instead make a fake body part (arm, torso, which ever will be shot). Then, clothe it, put the blood pouch in, and shoot it. Then, you could switch back to a reaction shot of the victim. "ohh! I've been shot!"
That's my idea anyway, and as others have said, you haven't left us much choice with ideas!!

The idea in principle is old and was used to great effect in early film making. At times they would shoot dummys and mocked up parts. In the good old days on some movies real bullets were used at times. James Cagney was nearly shot in the head one day by a police sharpshooter (can't remember the film name). The sharpshooter was meant to shoot a hole in the window Cagney was looking out of but hit a fire extinguisher near his head! Funnily enough in Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" the hippo at the end is firing live M-60 rounds throughout the set because they could not get hold of blanks!

What you can do is one of two simple things I have used. Have the person have a small bag under their shirt with some holes in it and when they get shot they cluch the wound and push your blood out, and you cover this with the way you shot it.
Or if you inside and this works really well, put them next to a wall then safty pin a spunge to their back and soke it in your blood and when they get shot have them smash into the wall and slide down it leaves a great trail.
In the end I am a fan of the compressed air blood cannon and not the squibs or sprayers. why have the blood come from the vic when it can be thrown at them?
