Day One Saturday 19 July 10 - 6pm On the first day we'll look at all things gory. From cheap decapitations to Anthropophagus style innards, we'll cover it. Want to achieve a Dr Butcher style arm impaling? A pouring chest wound? It's all in day one.

SFX is a great way to add production values. Do it wrong, however, and your film will look cheesey. Spend some time with veteran SFX specialist like Dan Martin - buyers will think you spend loads of cash. When you haven't. Day Two - Sunday 20 July 10 - 6pm Focus on the Woo side of things. How to modify that prop gun to fire a six-inch muzzle flash? How do we make ricochets without hiring an expensive pyrotechnician? Learn the necessary procedures for making indie film with weapons when it comes to police involvement. For those who didn't get enough blood in day one we'll be discussing which bit of strange Eastern European plumbing equipment can be modified to provide the exit splash for a ballistic suicide.
