Special FX: Almost-free Squirting Blood Effect

Step 9The Fun Part: Applying the effect

The Fun Part: Applying the effect

Hide your blood container on the character's body somewhere. I chose to hang my bag off my back, underneath my shirt.

Run tubing discreetly, underneath clothing. Long sleeves are better for severed hands.

Use the sprayer for blade slashes - If the sprayer is in just the right spot, it will spray the attacker in the face.

Cover the end of the tubing with a makeup effect, or just hide it in your hand by palming.

NOTES:
This effect is a little harder to pull off as a stage/theatrical effect, since a gallon or so of fake blood will slosh around.
For cinema people, don't have dialogue in the scene unless it is absolutely necessary. The pump motor puts off a bit of noise. Wrap it in a washcloth to dampen sound, and put it in the character's pocket if you must have sound.
If you want an even bigger slash-type of spray, check back in a couple months for my next blood instructable.

I am not responsible for any actions taken by anybody who uses this instructable to do something stupid. This is intended for cinema special FX.

I took these pictures on a timer, by myself. They are only to illustrate the effect.

Good instructable... very detailed. I'll have to try this one out... never would have thought about salvaging a Swiffer WetJet for the pump.
