mmmmm... karo.

Here's another fun little shoot. For me nothing beats a morning of half naked girls, razorblades and karo syrup blood.

This effect was put together quick and on-the-spot by Leah. Cumulative cost was probably around $10. Ghetto! This is for a very quick flash in the movie, but it will turn your stomach. In this photo, Erika wonders why she every got involved in this project. Leah tries to convince her it's going to be good for her career.

Freshly sliced wrists. Interestingly enough, when we were shooting her close up, Erika got very method and actually sliced into the skin on her wrists. It wasn't deep, the cuts looked like cat scratches. But it scared me a little bit nonetheless.

Yep, there was a lot of blood. This is such a brief scene in the movie. It will only last seconds. But the attention to the little details are going to make a huge difference. Erika's performance in this scene is as good as anything in the movie.

We had to put this scene together last minute when one of our props was unavailable. It worked out great. Thanks to Shogo for shooting it, Leah for FX, Erika for the great attitude and intense performance and to John for keeping the volume down on the OU game in the other room.

This scene was shot on Sunday, November 6, 2004.
