I'm going to use alot of the suggestions posted on this board to create a melting man. Ultraslime, lots of the stuff Mommy's Little Monster posted will go into this. I was wondering if there is a way to make the liquid flesh boil as though it were really burning?

oh, what are you using to achieve your effects? With me, I have a corpse basically and after its head gets knocked off, it begins to melt. Were using the ultraslime recipe, blood, we are making a rod puppet torso so the guy will still be moving as he melts away .. oh yeah, smoke bombs!

Incredible melting man is a very disgusting moviel for its time! Definitely a good reference . Incidentally, I am using a rod puppet as well. One of his arms is cable controlled and the other is skeletal with just a rod control and a wire bendable hand. One eye moves back and forth with a cable control and the other is just a socket that lights up. He has a moving jaw that works like a ventruiliquist puppet. He also has a pulsating brain and a tube in his throat to make him barf. OUr guy in the movie is a little backwards.... he gets completely melted and then materializes from the dead. Kind of a reverse elt effect. anyhow he will still be gross. I will post pics when he is done.

we are using a lot of bladders and slime. I use metamucil for slime because it requires very little time and ingredients. For the beginning stages of the acid burn I am using alka-seltzer combined with make-up effects. What I do is crush up a whole crapload of tablets and apply the powder to the face of the actor with spirit gum. then just spray a little colored water with a spritzer and you get some pretty good fizzlings.

well if the flesh is already melted than you can you a close-up shot in a really large sauce pan and just put the gelatine on the stove. It will begin to boil after a while. You can even start with solid gelatine and film it while it melts.

It takes a lot of alka-seltzer, but the cheap brand is only $2 dollars a box. Its cool too because the spirit gum doesn't even cause the alka-seltzer to fizzle before you spray the water on. I am glad you like that effect!

alka selzer have to try that.. i always hated the taste now ive found a use for it..
also what i found is yougurt is a cool body fluid..as fo melting i use knox for the skin in one of my molds. use a heat gun or hair dryer..because when it melts it gets stringy.
