You wouldn't believe these gruesome injuries are actually special effects

 

Theatre student Zoe Armstrong from New Zealand first started creating special effects as a hobby she indulged in her spare time. Now she is so good at her craft, you can't tell her creations from the real thing.


She said: 

"I was always fascinated by gore and how they did zombies, wounds and fight scene make-up in movies, and I often spent my days during art classes using newspaper and old paint to make myself have a zombie hand."

Her theatre tech lecturer was instrumental in helping Zoe take her passion further by buying her her first special effects make-up kit.

She says she learns by watching YouTube plenty videos of professional artists, now she is so good she can create a gunshot wound in under dive minutes.
