Hey Sietse, I've only just seen your reply now! Cheers and much appreciated. I've hope you've learnt something new. I work on squibs and costume integration in my spare time, so I thought I could contribute some knowledge to this field.

I've finally found some more time and updated that and a few other pages, please feel free to check them out!

Dead character costume

Bullet hit squibs

Squib (explosive)

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. The next thing I'd like to do is to shorten the pages by writing more concisely and removing repeated/redundant text. I think I want to make a few videos and tutorials next but they probably would better be put on a website/youtube rather than directly on Wikipedia.

Have a nice day :) Adenosine Triphosphate (talk) 16:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know how they are done! Félix An (talk) 09:12, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hey i've got some time in the next few months to put together some youtube tutorials and perhaps a website too (which perhaps can be more of a consultancy type model). i'm actually pretty keen to put something together. are you just looking for something short that i can just type up quickly, or something a bit more in depth and polished (like a 20 min long youtube video)? anything specific that you'd like to know that i should include? cheers.

I would like to see a more in-depth video like the style you suggested. When you eventually finish it, please remind me to see it on my talk page! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm! Félix An (talk) 01:29, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yes definitely, will keep you posted! Adenosine Triphosphate (talk) 13:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hey, just a small update. i've got most things and materials more or less ready, just need to film the video and and edit it. maybe a few more months. it's a slow burn project :) Adenosine Triphosphate (talk) 16:07, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I love your new images on the article about the dead-man costume! I have a question though - I saw a couple of pictures of you dressed in a cycling jersey with bullet hit squibs underneath. (I have several cheap cycling jerseys and shorts too.) But I've never seen any movies where a road cyclist gets shot and killed. I'm trying to imagine a plotline where such an event could happen. Have you personally seen or worked on any productions where a cyclist gets shot and killed in the story while wearing a cycling kit?

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT to come up with one, and here is what it came up with:

"During an early morning training ride, professional road cyclist Dylan Foster finds himself unexpectedly caught in the midst of a tense confrontation on a quiet, rural road. Unbeknownst to him, a high-stakes drug deal is taking place nearby, and he accidentally witnesses the exchange. As Dylan pedals by, one of the deal’s enforcers, spotting him as a potential witness, takes aim with a silenced pistol and shoots him in the back. Hidden beneath his tight, aerodynamic cycling kit, a carefully concealed squib triggers, simulating the violent impact as the bullet strikes. Dylan crashes, blood pooling around him, while the assailant disappears into the shadows, leaving the scene in a deadly silence."

Thanks for teaching me more about special effects in movies! I hope I can have time and resources to properly learn to make action-packed films someday! Félix An (talk) 15:10, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
