  • Can anyone tell me the specific type of silk the filmmakers used to create the seeping through blood effect? I'm trying to recreate that look for a film I'm working on and can't find any information about the specific silk.

    Thanks,

  • It's a shame that FF Trixie Pro was released a year after this was produced. The typewriter emulation would have been even more authentic.
  • Still one of my favorites, wrote 2007 a little review about it: http://blog.stefano-picco.de/2007/08/14/motion-...
