Here's one for y'all: Remember the scene in the Exorcist when the scars on Reagan's belly spells out 'Help Me'? How would one go about doing somehting like that?

d**k Smith said he could never get the effect to work, so he made the scar that deflated and they showed the film backwards.

Easiest way to do that would be shoot it 'clean' and add the scars as a digital effect (or shoot a prosthetic and a clean plate and use a digital mix to make it appear).

I think the reverse way Mr. Smith did it is probably the nicest and clean effects I've seen. you could always take a small sheet of thick skin colored latex and either make or buy letter stamps.
basically pull the latex fairly tight on all ends and then just press the stamp up against the latex to for the letter or even the word that you wish.
if you don't want to use words and want to make it seem like something is crawling around in the belly or other body part. Same idea except you can use your finger or other sharp object. This effect we use with a blood pack with a "Mock" sword tip in and it cut through giving the close up effect of a sword getting push all the way through the body. but I believe not breaking the Latex skin effect could just as esily be achived.

the way mr. smith (un censored) did it. not to sound like some fx geek .
was he got foam latex made a copy of regans bell used cleaning soulution and wrote the letters out which deterioated the latex and made it bubble like that..
how would i do it would probably the computer way if i had the programs..
if not bladders or th same way
use the technolgy remember they didnt have it back then. and this is a good effect to try
