Fake Blood

There are two ways to get blood on a set.

1. Have an actor who, like me, has perpetual nose bleeds.

Or, 2. Mix up some fake blood.


Fake Blood My Wife Mixed Up

Thanks to Digital Juice, we have a good recipe for blood.

• White corn syrup.
  
• Red food coloring.
  
• Some condensed milk.
  
• A little blue food coloring.

Mix. Add water if it's too thick.

This blood is edible and looks awesome.

Here's a little bit of makeup magic my wife cooked up for our shoot of "Life in a Box".
