The spurting blood in Judith beheading Holofernes reminded me of the gushing bright red blood in the movie, Kill Bill. Following up on this I started reading about the special effects blood that was used in the movie. After learning that this effect was achieved through exploding condums filled with fake blood I decided that I would like to set up the Judith and Holofernes but do it Kill Bill style. After scrounging around for props and outfits I set this up with the help of a few helpful volunteers.... The scene came out pretty well but I was unable to achieve quite the spurting blood effect that I wanted. Katie Albro and I took turns spitting blood out of our mouths trying to get the effect I wanted but nothing was quiet achieved. I am currently trying to figure out exactly how to do this. I think I may have better luck with a hose but am not exactly sure where to get one. Still under construction.
