Hello, I'm Gage Welch and right now I'm working on a new short film titled "Retribution" the film is almost complete, but I need help with making this end scene work.
Basically the last part of the film the main character (Nate) goes to rescue his girlfriend who was taken by this gang he owes a bunch of money to. He gets there in time, but doesn't have the money so she is tied up in this chair outside where they meet. The leader of the gang has his men then pour gasoline on her after he finds out Nate doesn't have the money.
What I then need help with is how to make her catch on fire? How should I shoot this scene to get this to work? Should I actually show her burning? Would it be easier to create a fake version of her then change the shot away from her so you don't actually see her catch on fire right away then change the shot back to her up in flames? Would it be better to blow her up, or should I just change how she dies all together?
If anyone has any tutorials or knows any way to do this successfully please let me know! If this is to hard to accomplish without having a large budget let me know! Thank you I appreciate it tons!
