Sweeney Todd Blood

This is a blood test for a production of Sweeney Todd that I did. It turned out to be quite effective and visually pleasing as well.

Thanks man...I should have more footage of the other deaths up very soon. Turpin's death was amazing.

@dpf143 I'm producing a production of Sweeney for a local high school. Can you email me so I can ask you some more information about how you achieved that really great blood effect? polsonmj@vcu.edu

I was the effects engineer/Sweeney for this production. I still have yet to see the same technique used (with the exception of the productions that have contacted me and asked me for the design). This effect really blew audiences away because they hadn't seen anything like it before. I'm very proud of it. The blood wasn't a problem for the costumer at all. It's a recipe I've worked on for years now. Washes out with no problem whatsoever. In my opinion, there can never be enough blood. :)

@drew1650 why? :S. Why does the fact that it's in a theatre restrict the amount of blood that's acceptable :L

Butchering your customers and making pies out of them. So easy a caveman can do it.
