MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED (I AM NOW 35), SINCE I FIRST EXPERIMENTED WITH SPECIAL FX AND FAKE GORE. I REMEMBER WELL COVERING MY FATHERS KITCHEN AND BATHROOM WITH ALL MANNER OF BLOOD,GREEN AND BLACK GLOOP AND CHUNKS OF FLESH (TOILET ROLL AND SAUSAGE MEET MAINLY).
MY GRANDAD WOULD ALWAYS COME AROUND EARLY EVENING AND THERE WOULD BE A FAKE POLYSTYRINE HEAD WITH A MACHETE RAMMED INTO IT OR MY BROTHER WOULD BE WATCHING TV AND I WOULD RIP OR POP A BLOOD PACK EVERYWHERE, BELIEVE ME I HAD LOTS OF CLEANING UP TO CONTEND WITH!
ATER BLOOD BAGS AND CLING FILM CAME TUBING,WITH WHICH I HAD A FIELD DAY WITH, TAPING TUBES TO MYSELF AND PUMPING FAKE GRUE WITH WILD ABANDON, THUS CREATING MORE MESS, MY DAD WAS PISSED OFF TO PUT IT MILDLY.
AROUND THIS TIME(1988/89),I STARTED HAVING A FEW PHOTOS TAKEN, I WOULD RIG MYSELF UP WITH MACHETES, KNIVES AND AXES AND TUBING AND MY BROTHER SHANE (DIRECTOR OF FANTACIDE,EXCREAMER ETC) WOULD TAKE THE PHOTOGRAPHS. IN A WAY THIS ALL WAS A PRECURSOR TO FUTURE EVENTS AS I WOULD RIG THE FX AND PUMP THE BLOOD AND MY BRO WOULD BE PHOTOGRAPHING ALL THIS AND I REMEMBER IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DO THIS WITH ONLY TWO PEOPLE PRESENT, BUT WE DID AND CONTINUE TO DO SO TO THIS DAY.
THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF SOME EARLY FX WORK ON DISPLAY AND THOUGH THEY ARE NOT GREAT,THEY ARE OK CONSIDERING THE MATERIALS USED. ALSO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PHOTOS FROM 1993 OF A LAD I MADE UP ON HALLOWEN WHEN I LIVED IN WESTON SUPER MARE, I USED HOT CANDLE WAX AND RED NAIL POLISH ON HIM, HE WAS PINK FOR A WEEK AFTERWARDS!
A FEW PHOTOS(SADLY A LITTLE BLURRED) OF AN EX GIRLFRIEND WITH HER THROAT SLIT ARE ON DISPLAY AS ARE PHOTOS FROM 2005 OF MY CURRENT GIRLFRIEND WITH HER BREAST REMOVED. THERE ARE ALSO A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF GORE FX STILLS FROM THE MOVIES I WORKED ON WITH MY BROTHER SHANE MATHER, CREATOR OF MASOCHIST PICTURES AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER, DIRECTOR,EDITOR,PRODUCER ETC OF ANGELS WEPT, BURY THE DEAD, INFLATED MAN AND FAIRY CAKES AND KILLERS.
THE WORK THAT WAS PUT INTO THE RECENTLY COMPLETD MOVIE FANTACIDE FAR EXCELS ANYTHING I HAVE DONE BEFORE.
THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD USED WAS ASTRONOMICAL, IT SEEMS I WAS FOREVER MAKING LITRES AND LITRES OF BLOOD (FOR SPURTING AND SQUIBS ETC) AND TUBS AND TUBS OF THICKER, STAY WET TYPE BLOOD (FOR WOUNDS, LEAKAGE TOUCH UPS ETC), AND NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL YOU ARE, THAT SHIT GETS EVERYWHERE!
BODYPARTS ALSO PLAY A HUGE ROLL IN FANTACIDE AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE DID NOT HAVE ON PREVIOUS FILMS SUCH AS EXCREAMER, FAIRY CAKES ETC, FAKE HEADS ,TORSOS AND ARMS WERE CUT CHOPPED, HACKED AND BLOWN APART IN FANTACIDE, AND TO GREAT EFECT I MIGHT ADD. THIS HAS A LOT TO DO WITH CREATING A DECENT GORE EFFECT, BUT THIS CAN BE RENDERED USELESS WITHOUT EXPERT EDITING AND EFFECTIVE SOUND FX AND SHANE (MY BRO) IS A TRUE MASTER AND HELPS MAKE SOMETIMES SHODDY FX LOOK AND SOUND EXCELLENT.
THERE WERE MANY FX SET UPS IN FANTACIDE AND AN AVALANCE OF GORE AND KILLS AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, LOTS OF WHICH WERE PROBLEMATIC, BUT MOST OF THE KILL SCENES THAT WERE THOUGHT UP MADE IT ONTO THE SCREEN. I HOPE YOU ENJOY OUR FILMS AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MORE FX PHOTOS COMING UP IN THE FUTURE, AND TO THE NEXT MASOCHIST PICTURES RELEASE.....
