Sfx - Squib

SQUIBS
A squib is a small explosive device widely used in the motion picture special effects industry to simulate bullet impacts. For hits on persons, the squib is coupled with a condom or balloon of fake blood, and sometimes chunks of sponge to simulate shattered bone and tissue (this combination is sometimes referred to as a "blood squib"). For ricochets off other objects, items such as dust and small rocks or wood splinters are attached to the squib.

The use of squibs will look very effective when sammie the lynches kid might get shot.

We have been searching up ways of creating our own squibs, via youtube, this is very helpful as they do give simple ways of making them; however, a lot of these techniques do look quite painful. Seeing as we wont be able to send a shock through to make a squib, nor can we cause harm due to the painful ways of exposing the squibs (ethical reasons), we have decided to use the classic way of plain old ketchup, we will make it work.
here are some videos to show why we didnt use squibs:
