Just thought id share an idea i had how to make a chestburster video. The unlucky victim/ volunteer needs to have a small waist...
You do a video of the initial confusion and the grasping of the chest followed by them laying down in pain. next you need the Victim to arch his back and have camera view at top of the head so you can slide the alien prop (as simple as a whie sock with Vaseline and ketchup covering) on stomach so camera view shows it emerging from chest. You will then swith to a side view and then have alien emerge more using the Victims body to block the view of the alien puppeteer. Cut away just as a quick upward motion starts. If you want to try and get a view of the "hole" you can use bologna with makeup about the color of the flesh and marshmallows for the exposed ribs and shaved ham/ barbecue sauce in the depression... if you do it right it will look more realistic as it sounds and i hope i am explaining it good enough
My youngest Brother in law will be the victim next time i see him since he is skinny enough and at least this will beat the hands in shirt parodies
