So, I need to projectile vomit on someone. Twice

ANTVGM64

Howdy, so I'm shooting a script in the coming weeks, and one of the trickier aspects of the script is that one character projectile vomits onto another.

Logistics of this scene are pretty tricky. The vomiting character does it once, gets up, then does it again.

I know the typical method is to get some sort of goo or what not and just have her spit it out, but that seems a little, well, lame. What would a fellah need to make this shit look cool?

Also, is asking an actress and actor if they're willing to down some epikak and do the scene for real considered offensive?

Awk

I dont know about offensive, but its definitely considered dangerous, unrpofessional, and maybe illegal. Do not have your staff digest anything.

Don't use ipecac. It's not something you can control and the side effects and possible overdose risks make it rather dangerous to use. Unless you want to be rolling around on the floor for 30 minutes with uncontrollable dry heaves.

This was just a thought

My budget is pretty substantial, but I'm looking for creative ways that will make it look at least semi realistic, and budget minded.

There's videos on how to make fake puke with common household items.

Here's one

I think with a trick of perspective and good camera work, you can have a hose run up alongside their mouth and it looks like it's coming out of their mouth.

Not a garden hose, but something smaller.

You're going to want to use tubing for this. Hook it up to a pump and run it through the persons sleeve (so that they vomit when their hand goes to their mouth) or tape it to the persons face and film from the opposite side. If you don't know how to do any of this (which I suspect is the case since you originally wanted your actors to actually vomit), go find a special effects person. This is pretty simple stuff.

I don't know your actors, but if I was hired to work on something and I was asked this I would probably walk off of the set immediately. It doesn't sound like you respect your actors and worse, you are making the set a dangerous place.

You aren't making Jackass. Then again, if you are, you can probably use cod liver oil or a massive amount of milk.

do not ACTUALLY have people puke

it's dangerous, illegal, disgusting, almost nobody will agree to it. and even if you just care about the show, unpredictable

and ipecac doesn't guarantee a projectile vomit

is this for a movie or a play?

if it's for a play, set up some sort of tubing away from the audience's view, or in the character's hand and hide a small tank under their clothes

if it's for a movie then good cuts and editing will make a good effect out of almost anything you try
