Special Effects Man Session
During college we had a person who specialises in special effects and make up for films. He showed us how to make our own special effect like cuts, wounds, bullet holes and bruises. This help us because it shows us how to develop these effect and add it to our trailer making it unique to our final trailer production.
The pictures below show the brief session we had.
Process Of Making A Skin Wound.









In the pictures above this shows and gives your a brief instruction on the process in making a wound of your desire.
How to make a wound:
- Get a tile or something with a flat slip surface.
- Put a decent amount of clay (depending on what type of wound you want) on it and make it flat on the surface.
- Draw a circle around it so you can be sure not to go out of the circle.
- Use sculpting tools to create wound you want.
- Get a cup and pour 1/3 of water in it.
- Add plaster until it becomes thick.
- Pour plaster onto the clay on the tile make sure it gets every detail.
- Let it settle in for 2-3 hours.
- Now you should have a hard piece of plaster with your wound on the bottom
- Fill wound with liquid latex making sure you get every detail.
- flood the wound with liquid latex and let it dry out.
- Now peal the dried and stable liquid latex from the plaster.
- No paint to the colour of skin you would like to place it on.
And there you have it, your desired wound.
