Fake
blood! Everyone’s seen fake blood sometime or another in
the cinema, either oozing out of a bullet wound or spraying across
the pool table at a bar. It’s a classic! There comes a time
in every filmmaker’s life that fake blood is needed. |

WHAT
YOU’LL NEED: |
|
|
|
• Red
food colouring (Be careful with this stuff, it stains.)
•
Red and black powder paints.
•
All-purpose gel cleaner (make sure its white)
•
A container, spoon and newspaper. |
| |
|
GETTING
STARTED: |
|
|
Start
off by putting down some newspaper as the food colouring does
stain! Then pour some all-purpose cleaner into the container.
Use a little at first, just to test. Then mix your red powder
into the all purpose cleaner. Mix and add until you get a nice
red, after that add the red food colouring. Continue until you
get the desired colour. If needed, add some black to darken it
up. Suggested serving: raw and cold! |

|
TIPS: |
| |
|
| |
• Beware:
some cleaners tend to burn your skin.
• Even
though this recipe uses a cleaner, it’s possible that the
mixture might still stain. So try keeping it away from clothing.
• If
you want your blood to be more runny, adding some water will do
the trick.
• Don’t
forget, safety first! |
