Just a quick effect for a friend's short film last weekend. A little scruff, a little bruising, and one whopper of a baseball bat wound to the forehead.
The blood runs to the side because he would be laying down for the shot:
The wound is a little appliance that I sculpted on a flat board, molded in silicone, and cast in gelatin.
The design is based on a picture of a real head injury, but I'll spare you that image.
A little paint, a little blood...
I'm rather satisfied with the apparent depth of this one, which is one of the things that bugged me about previous effects of this sort that I've done. Of course the blood could stand to be less opaque, but I was trying out a new non-liquid blood technique, which I'll just have to finesse next time.
Nice work!
