Question by Ich Sehe Eine Vision, Mein Vision Bist Du…: Special FX make-up technique, I’ve done it once but want to see if there is a better way!!?
Okay! Now I have your attention lets begin! 🙂
Right, I’ve been making movies for a good 5-6 years now (I’m 16) I know that doesn’t make a bleedin’ difference but there we go…so, I’ve done a wrist slitting scene before…and it turned out really good! The only problem is that I filmed it in a dark setting and it didn’t show up as clearly as I want this scene to be….Does anyone have any tips on these factors:
1. Make – up to look like previous cutting scars…(not halloween stuff)
2. make up to look like an open wound???
3. The best technique to film it,, I just want to try something different!
——
2nd dilemma:
I know many people will be freaked out by this but its purely for film purposes ONLY!
1. How could I shoot a scene where heroin taking takes place?? I’d like to be able to show the arm but obviously NO INJECTING!
2. WHat sort of things would work as a fake ecstasy tablet…
3. Can you still buy fake pills online (ones you can swallow??)
Links VERY much appreciated!
Thank you very much XXX

Answer by Eric
to make fake ecstasy tablets just get tablets that have dolphins or something happy on them, this was a real technique they used to make people thinkn that they were harmless. even circular vitamins might work if they were digitally edited
