How to Slit Your Friends Throat

I have done many post on make-up so far, but now I am finally going to tell you how to do a special effect.  Today I am going to tell you how to rig a blood effect. This effect will cost you less then $15 in total.

The supplies you will need are:

1. a turkey baster $3, syringe $3, or ketchup bottle $1 (all from Walmart)
2. clear plastic tubing $3, or bendy straws $1
3. duct tape 4$
4. blood $5

Once you have all the supplies it's time to build your rig.

If you use plastic tubing:

1. Fit the plastic tubing over the spout of what your baster, syringe, or ketchup bottle
2. wrap the duct tape around the gape as tight as possible to prevent any leaks

If you use bendy straws:

1. fit the bendy straw over the spout of what your baster, syringe, or ketchup bottle
2. wrap the duct tape around the gape as tight as possible to prevent any leaks 
3. Fit the second bendy straw into the first
4. wrap the duct tape around the gape as tight as possible to prevent any leaks  
5. repeat as needed

Once you have built your rig it's time to use it. The example I am going to use is if you are going to slit some ones throat.

To do this  and achieve a believable effect you need a fake knife and your rig.

Here are the steps to achieve this effect:

1. Pour the blood into your ketchup bottle or suck it into your baster or syringe
2. Tape your tube or straw to the side of your knife
3. Place your baster, syringe, or ketchup bottle behind your actors head
4. Stand next to your actor and  angle the knife so that the camera cant see your starw or tube
5. squeeze the baster, syringe, or ketchup bottle
6. once the blood near the tip of the straw or tube begin to pull the knife across your actors throat.
7. You have now slit your friends throat.

Here is a video of my friend and I learning to achieve this effect. 

Remember if at first you don't succeed try, try again.
