When they show a "dead body" on a tv show, is that a person with lots of make up...?

Question

to make it look like a corpse, or is it a very realistic latex dummie?...

Ballerina: there's a whole lot of people ahead of you...

Julie B: you didn't read the whole question. I never for one second thought it could be a real corpse.......

Answer 1

Both. In some cases they will use a real person..because get this...it's cheaper to hire an extra then pay for one of those so very realistic mannequins. The CSI shows use a mixture as an example, so that the autopsy shots can show reaching into the body cavity...it's quite cool really.

Answer 2

Dead Bodies In Movies

Answer 3

It depends on the shot. For distant shots they'll usually use a dummy, but for scenes where you get right up next to the corpse, they'll often use a live human with makeup. In CSI, all the corpses are real live actors who are literally playing dead. In particularly long shots, pay close attention to the "corpses" (especially on the autopsy table). Though they hold their breath, you can occasionally see their chest flutter slightly as their heart beats. :)

Answer 4

Sometimes. In some movies, they use a dummie of the actor such as in the Saw horror movie series or in films like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Others, the actor is painted up to look dead like in the movie The Shining. It all depends on the budget of the film.

Answer 5

Being a HUGE fan of CSI programming (NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds, etc.) I can tell you that they are REAL actors in HEAVY make up to make them look like a corpse. Matter of fact, CSI productions recently held a contest (last season) for a walk on role as a dead body in the coroners, wherein the winner would be flown to LOs Angeles to film with Paramount/CBS on a recent episode of CSI (to be aired in the first weeks of the soming season) Hope that helps!

Answer 6

Depends on the situation.....There are special artists that make fake dead bodies that look very realistic. Then sometimes they just use a little make up on a real person.

Answer 7

It can be a number of things. Some use real dead bodies (rare), however mostly it is the actor painted up or a dummy.

Answer 8

Real people. Staying still for long periods. But don't forget they can edit and take out any bad bits and add together the good bits. I don't think they are dummies.

Answer 9

human beings have stumbled on love on television earlier. you sense a spark once you meet somebody you fall in love with. you will discover love in a food market, why not on a television practice? i think of it would be basic to fall in love on a fact practice because of the fact you're holed up for a quantity of time with one yet another and different contestants. It makes for an fairly aggressive environment and that's fairly basic to recover from excited, meaning to win. I unquestionably think of you will discover love on a practice. The question is not any remember if it lasts when you bypass away that environment. regrettably it always does not and subsequently human beings think of fact television isn't genuine.

Answer 10

It's not real. It's a dummy or a well made up person to look like their dead
