Every week I get phone calls asking "Where can I get fake blood"? or "where can I get a car for "Grease"? or "how does a scrim work"?, well if all us technical crew could ask these questions on this forum it would soon become a gold-mine of information for everybody concerned. So how do you make fake blood?

{'TNSQ'} So moving on to the 'Scrim', in this case they are also known as 'transformation cloths'. I think the Faux Blood has been exanguinated? Here is a link ;- http://www.studio-productions-inc.com/set_home.html Which will help help visually, how the Lighting can accomplish the visual Transformation. Also on the same site there is an explanation of how they work;- http://www.studio-productions-inc.com/white_papers/wp_scrim_effects.html It also has some helpful hints, using a scrim & comparison of different types of material. [These links will have to be copied & pasted - I have no idea how to make them active on the post/}
