Head Shot, Blood Splatter, Muzzle Flash, and New York in June

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 – running time 12:09
To answer a viewers email, in this episode we show you how to create a head shot, splatter some blood and make a convincing muzzle flash.

We received an email asking to show some good gun effects, (muzzle flash, someone getting shot, blood splattering) and how they could be done on a shoestring budget.

For the first effect, Ryan decides to figure out how to create a cool horror movie style blood splatter using only what he could find in his garage. So one hose, super soaker, and roll of duck tape later; they had a pretty big mess to clean up.

For the second effect you are going to need some effects make-up; which you can find at fxwarehouse.info You will need Nose & Scar Wax. and Pigment Blood. You’ll also need some mineral oil, but you can get that from almost any grocery store.

To do the last effect you will need the muzzle flash asset from detonationfilms.com. Click here to download the assets from detonationfilms.com.. Of course you will need a gun as well, but it doesn’t have to be a starter pistol. You can use anything to add the muzzle flash to.

Once you’re done, check out our Film Riot twitter for updates on the latest movie news and filmmaking tips.

And if you have an idea for an effect that you’d like to see made into an episode, shoot us an email at filmriot@revision3.com.

I think you guys should do a slow-mo episode so the show lasts longer... Great episode and great resource plugging. It's always nice to know where you can get the more difficult to find purchases.

This episode was pure awesome. This is exactly what I was wanting to see... physical effects. That super soaker blood splatter was surprisingly good looking.

The main guy (Sorry don't know names) needs to stop talking so fast. This episode could have easily been 15 minutes if he would slowwwww downnnn.

Color correction

Can you take an episode to run over how you get such great color? Specifically with color correction, and if you could include your lighting setups, gels, filters and lenses it would be a dream ep come true.

Nice job as always.

Gun Shot

Hi,

First of all well done for your show, as a beginner in final cut pro I am finding it very interesting!! ..

I have a question, can you tell me any sites that provides free sound effects like the gun shot effect that you used?

Thanks again,

Amazing episode as always guys, I think you should have used the squarspace ad from the first episode (I think that's the better one) but I don't care that much. It did feel a little short but that's probably because it was mixed in with the Digg-meetup stuff (that was great by the way) and you showed a lot of balls asking someone out on camera.... ... ...So we all want to know, what did she say?

One annoying thing for me is I'm still using Premier Eliments V2.0, I'm saving up for the pro or normal version, so I don't have the luminance key, I could try and use a Chrome key on the black, or use Zwei Stein 3.01 (awesome free efects program but hard to use and not fully translated from German).
