Hey folks.
I'm working on a short post-apoc film and I'm trying to figure out the best way to fake that green alge/mould that grows on smooth surfaces that have been left exposed to the elements. I'm looking for a way to achieve this in-camera but am open to any vfx ideas as well.
Here's some real life photos of the effect I'm looking for;
From looking at some behind the scenes photos of The Girl With All the Gifts (2016), it seems there is some kind of spray or paint that can be used.
(more behind the photos here for those interested)
Does anyone know what this mixture might be? Can it be made from household materials or will I have to buy from some specialist shop?
Thanks for any ideas/help!
