Gore Make-Up Practice: Burn/Boil

Actually, I'm not sure what to call this one. I was in the mood to do something bloody and my friend really wanted to jump in as a model. So I pretty much winged it from there. It started out as some sort of large boil that burst, but turned into a strangely intense chemical burn/scarring in the end... Haha, I just don't know what to call it! What do you guys think it looks like?

This was done in a rush, as I had less than 20 minutes to film before my camera ran out of memory. I also had to stop and charge it in the middle of filming. I really need to invest in a bigger memory card or an actual digital film camera.

This was done with the toilet paper and liquid latex technique. Hopefully I can get some new scar wax this summer. Liquid latex smells like old fish ass.

Constructive Crit. is always welcome. I know this is not the best work around (especially in 18 minutes) but I'm always wanting to learn how to improve. Thanks!

Music:
Whistle while you work - Snow White
Remains of the Day - Corpse Bride (Danny Elfman)
Kiss the Girl (Techno Remix) - The Little Mermaid (Need help I.Ding the actual remixer)

Well-done video - the final music choice maybe a little questionable, but good speedup, good camera angle, instructive without needing words =)

May I ask; what did you use to colour and blend in the wound - I see a makeup palette, but I'd love to know the specifics.

@Jakkaroo The music choice was a joke since a few of my friends mentioned how I should use happier music.

Color wise included olives, tan, brown, purple, dark reds, green, and yellow. I'm not sure I completely understand your question... did you want color specifics (the actual ben nye creme names) or tool specifics? (Sponges, generic cheapo paint brushes)

[Jakkaroo]

@PancakeRemix Thanks for the reply - upon watching your other videos I realised it was ben nye - which is beyond my budget/availability at the moment. I think I'll have to find some cheap facepaints =)

@Jakkaroo If you have any Party City's around you they carry those. Since it's after Halloween, there might be some sales going on. I've used a few creme-based make up paints from there before and they worked out fine. Good luck to you, though! :]

It was a temporary fault. Worked OK this evening. Interesting to see how the magic is created. Great choice of music, too.

@ThatsnewsTV Ah, well that's good to hear, and thanks! :]

[madmomentsgo]

fantastic makeup effect.

[PancakeRemix]

@ThatsnewsTV Hmm... I checked it out and it works for me. I'm not sure what the problem could be, unfortunately.

Can't get it to play past 2.25, for some reason. It just freezes at that point.
