View Full Version : Creating a Heart? quinny 11-26-2005, 12:22 PM For a film my making a guy gets his heart ripped out... so i want to make a something that looks like a heart... i would also like to have some sort of pump action... anyone got any ideas on this? it has been suggested to me to use a pigs heart but eh ..i dunno about that... directorik 11-26-2005, 01:05 PM I've done heart gags dozens of times. I'll find a couple of behind the scenes shot for you if you like - I'm sure there on my drive somewhere. This http://homepage.mac.com/directorik/.Pictures/laughingdead-b.jpg shot is from a movie I made a few years back. Her still beating heart is then pulled out and put into someone else http://homepage.mac.com/directorik/.Pictures/laughingdead-c.jpg I don't reccomend using anumal parts - people get squeemish. Sculpt the heart in clay and make a plaster mold. To make the heart beat I coated the mold in several layers of latex, put two baloons inside with tubes running out the bottom. After the latex dried I pulled the prop from the mold and put a squeeze bulb at the end of each tube. With careful camera placement and some KY jelly and blood, it looks really good. quinny 11-26-2005, 02:03 PM cheers, i bear that in mind quinny 01-20-2006, 10:38 AM i went with the clay but my modeling can't be that good as none of my crew liked it... the actor was willing to work with a real one so after a visit to a few butcher shops we got some pigs hearts... now for the pump action... the night before I couldn't find any small tube/pipe anywhere so my AD come PM come Art Director got some electrical cord and pulled out the wire end got a condom and attached it to one end of the cord and inserted it into the heart and blew into it... Result! Looked fab! directorik 01-20-2006, 08:44 PM Let's see some pictures! quinny 01-23-2006, 04:18 AM i post something up later... on different computer quinny 01-23-2006, 08:12 AM http://www.savaege.com/turn/images/heart2.jpg http://www.savaege.com/turn/images/heart4.jpg i'll post up a video clip later mr-modern-life 01-23-2006, 08:14 AM I dont have any images but for LefT For Dead we used a pigs hreat and for teh pumping effect the actor placed his thumb in a ventricle and just moved it. It gave a rather gross heart ripped out, pumping effect that cost us under £2. Again not to ever ones tatse but it looked amazing! quinny 01-23-2006, 11:25 AM http://www.savaege.com/turn/files/clips/heart-small.mp4 bigger file click here (www.savaege.com/turn/files/clips/heart.mp4) 530KB directorik 01-23-2006, 02:20 PM Very nice! |
