justinbrown Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 How does Conrad L Hall achieve his "Bleeding Heart" effect on the walls in Road to Perdition? Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricUlbrich Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hehehe, well that actually was an accident from a previous film that he did called "In Cold Blood." Watch visions of light and I think he explains it...kinda. Its like a strong backlight through the window which highlights the rain from the glass. Then I think the rain doesnt really rain, it kinda drips down the glass. Do some tests, see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Hughes Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I remember some years back seeing a movie on TV of the life of Nostradamus. In one scene he gives a prophetic reading to his patron, Catherine de Medici, where blood pours down the walls from the ceiling, and he says to her "you will outlive all your children". How did they get the room to bleed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"visions of light" is an excellent doc on cinematography, you can really get some nice insights to the way some of the cinematographers feel about their own and others work, so very passionate and knowledgable a real motivator for all cinematographers and film makers. very much worth a watch. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Michael Nash Posted May 18, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 18, 2007 You need a sharp light source to provide a crisp shadow. Something big and far away. If your light source is too focused and spotty (like a par) it won't give a crisp shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
