River of Darkness (2011)

Worked with a special effects crew assisting make up for Kevin Nash and Sid Vicious. Assisted in running additional axes for the final shot. On set for around two days.

I didn't get to have much interaction with Bill Hinzman but it was awesome to watch him work.

Most of of the experience is blurry but I do remember Sid finding out that I was terrified of him as a kid. And my good friend letting him know that information. Which in turn, Sid cut a crazy promo on me. Kevin Nash laughing while watching me stand frozen.

Before the end of the night Sid gave me a swift kick in the butt and said "Good job kid. I'll see you around." After all these years, I still never got a chance to thank him.

Do Not Disturb (New Terminal Hotel) (2010)

Directed by BC Furtney

------------------------------------------------

At the time it was called New Terminal Hotel and then later changed to Do Not Disturb. There were a couple of gags that Sabrina Leis and I worked on. I still have yet to find a copy of this film and my memory is a little foggy.

There was another effects group that did the majority of the effects for the film before Sabrina and I got on.

There is a scene towards the end that I had to put on a pair of slacks and shoes from a character that died and be in the tub filled with fake blood. Had a small insecticide sprayer that sprayed fake blood for the gunshot wound. I just remember being submerged under the water and couldn't really hear my mark.

Sabrina had worked on a scalping effect seen in one of the pictures. I cannot remember if that effect and the room covered in fake blood that ended up getting the police involved years later...they thought it was a real crime scene. I guess the sets never got cleaned up. Somewhere on a hard drive I have the news report.

There was another scene, where an actor swung a real scalpel in the air and that was quickly fixed by just breaking the blade off the handle.

We worked on the syringe stabbing effect that I think was a block of wood with a piece of foam under the shirt. The needles were real...I'm just really happy no one got injured.
