Here's some real suggestions...


Make a dummy. You can use it to be hit by cars and/or fall off tall objects.

Get a few articles of clothing at Goodwill or somewhere cheap, stuff them so they look like there is a body part in there (arm, leg). Then do a close up of it getting hacked.

If you want blood, a good contraption we've used in the past is a balloon filled with fake blood. (Don't fill it too full.) Tie it like it was a water balloon and then put it underneath an article of clothing on a persons body where you want them to bleed. Have the violence occur, then when they grasp their wound, they break the balloon. Viola. Instant bloody wound for under a buck.

For fake blood you can try matching a variety of food products with red dye to see what you like best. If you can get your hands on some liquid egg product (The pre-blended egg stuff that comes in a milk carton style container.) and a bottle of red food coloring, you should be in business. (If you are shooting in black and white, regular syrup will work fine.)

If you are looking for a sound effect of a knife entering flesh, buy a fresh watermelon, canataloupe or honeydew melon and stab it a couple times. (Preferably watermelon because it's big enough to allow for multiple stabbings.) (This is what Alfred Hitchcock did fro the stabbing sounds in Psycho.)

Anyways, I hope that helps you a little. If you have other questions posta a reply here or IM me.
