Because cinema blood and certain types of fake blood has a quality where if you get depth to it, it turns black.

because light just goes through it and it gets lost and scattered, turns black at certain depths.

Certain movies where you've seen like big scenes where blood is filling, the It movie had like the bathroom scene, but it's all black because of the depth of it.

So with ocean arterial blood, it has to maintain that redness in this dark environment.

So we had to

tune the color very specifically to how we knew how dark it was going to be in there and then you know with a little color correction make it a little more uh red and then it has to have that kind of opaqueness not translucency uh to look like blood because a lot of people don't realize that real blood is a lot brighter than you think it is especially arterial blood um

And so we did tons and tons and tons of blood research.

But we know how the volume of those spaces, we know the volume of things that we filled.

We know the various pools that we use.

We use various things from like a kiddie pool sometimes to a outdoor swimming pool to a giant industrial dumpster that they had welded together and sealed up and then filled so that we could literally sink things in them.

Because that's the only way to do it safely.

I wanted to sit in there and be like, just fill the whole thing with blood.

I can take it.

But to do it more safely, you have to do a cross section and then kind of sink it in there.

And that was difficult because you had to put enough weights on there to get it to sink down because, you know, obviously it is a wooden set for the most part.

So we had trouble floating it.

That was a, that was a big thing.

Um, so there was a, it was a lot that we dedicated basically the entire week to the last few minutes of the movie.

Um, and it's, it's like, we know how much we pumped.

We know the volume of everything that we did.
