Help, I need an help on sticking a drill into someones eye without cutting away from the scene, it will be a CS on the eye and the drill bit. and it will slowly go into her eye, butt, i need help on how i can do this. THANKS

Step 1: Ask a local butcher for some cow eyes. They usually throw them away, so they should not have a problem giving them to you. Ive gotten a total of probably a few dozen of them. (Try the butcher at a local supermarket...?)

Step 2: Set up shot for the "drill in eye" shotJust an idea of how you could set up the shot. Im not sure what this scene entails, or what it looks like in your head, but here it goes anyway): Have a shot directly overhead of the drill which is over the girl's eye. Since it is directly overhead, the audience does not see the drill bit . Remove the drill bit to prevent any actual injury to the actress. Add in sound effects of drill running.

Step 3 (Shot 2): This would be the gory one. Take one of the cow eyes and place it, pupil/iris up, on a flat surface (make sure the background of this shot and the background of the previous shot match.) Place the camera on the same surface as the eye. Move the camera as close to the eye as possible so that only the top half of the eye is in the frame. (This way you dont have to worry about eyelids/eyelashes. Take the actual drill/drill bit and drill into the eye at whatever speed you want. (You have to have the camera angle from the side because if it is above the eye the "black juice"/ultra venerii of the eye will squirt onto the lens. Kind of sick, but if its what you want...

Maybe that idea wont completely work out, but I think it possibly would work. It might be worth a try.

Oh God! Just skip it and make some nice movie about fields and happy people! ugh

haha... thats what I was thinking. Im not really a big fan of gore; I just like having a mental challenge once in awhile. You know, trying to figure out different ways to do something that seems difficult.

seriously for something like this...don't show it. you don't want people puking while watching your movie, and a close-up of an eye getting drilled into is definately going to do that to some people. just make it really intense, but don't show the actual drilling of the eye, please, lol.

even in once upon a time in mexico (not exactly a gore-shy movie) they didn't show the eye drilling! lol

yes, but Un Chien Andalou did!

you should totally drill it, and you can probably inject some stuff into the cow eye to get it to really shoot stuff everywhere when the drill hits it.

don't put the camera close though, zoom in.

Yeah i got the idea from Chien Andalou, thanks for the cow eye thing, i was also thinking of buying Fake Glass Eyes, which look pretty real. Thanks though

I was also thinking of getting this http://tzrz.safeshopper.com/57/1702.htm?251
