Does anyone know of any free ones? I need a jugular squirt to the side and a stab through the chest

This is an old student video though!
Now a days after effects has "mr mercury" -try it! It's easy, but a little confusing to use.

Aric, that video was too cool. What did you film it on, edit it on, composite with, etc?

[Daniel Raebiger]

hm if quality isnt your first goal simply start after effects and bring up the particle simulation. add a fast blur to those red dots and there you go...

Thanks, I shot that with little 1 chip dv cameras. And the blood like I said was over a white background, which we sprayed around with those hoses used for pest poison. I used after effects "DV matte" to key the people (Dv Matte is now only available in Final Cut, unless you are still using a PowerPC mac -like me) and Final Cut to key the blood.
Too bad I did not upload the "making of" montage cause it's pretty funny.

These days it's the same method, but I use HDV: Revenge of the Revenge trailer on Vimeo

Also I take back what I said about the mr mercury effect, keying the blood was much better.
