LOL @ John
Do firecrackers as squibs really work? I'm trying to imagine this so bear with me here. You take a firecracker, pull out the fuse, insert one of those model rocket igniters, run the wires down the actor's pants to a battery or a curcuit board, then touch them off?
Do you have a syrup to dye ratio?
I think I read somewhere that you don't want realistic gore/blood, you can have it and lot's of it but if it looks too real on the screen, people will loose their suspension of disbelief. Anybody else hear that? Realistic gore is bad?
