Simple Effects

Neck Snap

Caution

*This effect can be dangerous, if not done properly*

For the neck snap, all I had to do was have the victim (Sam) ready in position, next, I’d come up from behind. place my hands on the top of his head and chin and get ready to twist his head, however, I’m NOT the one who’s turning the head it’s the actor, if done correctly at the right speed the effect can look pretty realistic (the final touch is a gruesome and realistic sound effect and you are done).

Face Slash

To prepare for the face slash effect, we did a few practice shots by using water and I got ready in position, what we did was I had Sam holding the hatchet and as soon as he swung it in front of my face I spat out the water, once we got the rhythm and were happy with it, I then had a mouth full of “blood”, filmed it and I was satisfied.
