Splatter School High Quality -

The godfather of modern makeup, Dick Smith (The Exorcist), established a lineage of hyper-realistic gore. His students teach that less is often more. A single, high-quality laceration on an actor's cheek is more disturbing than a gallon of fake blood poured over a headless torso.

One unique aspect of Splatter School’s high-quality teaching model is the "Selfie Scroll." Because gore effects are often photographed, the school teaches students to design wounds specifically for camera resolution. A wound that looks good in a mirror at 3 feet will look terrible in a 4K close-up. Splatter School trains artists to texture their wounds for the lens—sculpting pores, adding stippling, and creating realistic dried blood patterns using stippling sponges rather than brushes. splatter school high quality
