We did this shoot in the Varsity studio, and after spending about 10 minutes lining everything up, I tell Russell to put some of the fake blood in his mouth to get ready. My camera is still at it’s side when suddenly all I hear is “PHHHHHHHHHHHHT” as he spits it on every last surface in the entire room. Red food colouring and chocolate sauce everywhere. We spent about 15 minutes after that scrubbing everything down, during which I was yelling, “What the hell was that? Why the fuck didn’t you wait? What the hell?!”

The rest of the shoot went much better, mind you.
