Blood droplet

[Daryl Booth]

Sometimes buddy, CGI is harder than doing the effect in real life. Have you considered stage blood? or hitting your talent to accomplish the shot?

As much as I would have loved to hit our actors in the face, unfortunately it was a 5 month year old baby and it was quite tricky to do and we wanted the blood to fall in a specific way…anything I can use with the mr mercury effect?

I think you might be able to adapt that technique to create a blood drip effect.

You’ll probably have to animate a mask to change the shape of the blood droplet.
