How are shooting scenes so realistic?

[Messerschmitt Man]

With movies such as Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List you can't help but admire the accurancy of a death by shot sequence.

One instance was a man got shot in front of a wall. You could see the bullet's trajectory through the man and into the wall, his body accurately reacted after being shot, along with the blood spray given the type of bullet, angle bullet was fired from etc.

Seems there's a bit of a science to this, and it involves more than a simple packet of Imitation blood.

Does anyone know much about how it all works? cheers

I'm sure a good amount of CGI went into it as well.

I am pretty much thinking of computer-effects...and agreeing with the emu

I dont think there are any Computer effects in Schindlers list.
But damn what a weird topic, what Kevin said!

You might want to search on google as to what they do to make it look so realistic.

It's not ketchup?

It's not ketchup?

It better be, I was dipping fries in some guys shirt when they were filming 'Assault on Precinct 13,' here. :|

Just cos I look into certain things, doesn't make me a weirdo. I apoligise that I thought outside the square, thought about things outside of aviation.

[screaming_emu]

again, being called strange isn't offensive in my eyes, not necissarily a bad thing...just....you are.

There's no harm in wanting to know how a t.v works instead of just watching it.

I saw a guy get shot once and it never looked like the shooting you see in movies.
