BLOOD SFX

Realistic Fake Blood: Bright Sprays & Dark Coagulation
Realistic Fake Blood Effects

This special effects blood page showcases some of the most realistic and disturbing bloody cinema effects created using fake blood, colourants, and a variety of thickeners and mediums. From bright red arterial spray to dark, sticky, coagulated blood, we customise every element to suit the director’s vision.

Action Prosthetics: Precision with Hydraulic Blood Rigs
Hydraulic Blood Rigs for Action Scenes

Our blood effects often involve action prosthetics that are designed to be cut or stabbed, with hydraulic blood rigs controlling the flow to match real-life blood patterns or exaggerated creative effects. These rigs provide precision, allowing seamless integration with the scene.

Gunshot Effects: Squibs & Blood Bags for Realism
Squibs & Blood Bags for Gunshot Effects

We frequently use blood bags for gunshot or shrapnel wounds. These are paired with squibs—small pyrotechnic charges attached to protective backplates behind the fake blood bags. When triggered, the squibs explode, expelling a realistic mix of blood and gore for dramatic results.

Hydraulic & CO2 Rigs: Blood Bursts & Fluid Effects
CO2 Rigs for Blood Bursts

For bullet hits and other wound effects, we also utilise hydraulic and CO2 rigs, which can create controlled bursts of realistic fake blood. These versatile rigs are equally effective for simulating perspiration, sweat, and other fluids to add realism to intense scenes.

Safe, Biodegradable Fake Blood: Non-Staining Options

Our special effects blood products are safe, biodegradable, and where continuity allows, available in non-staining formulations to protect costumes.
