Differences between Blood Splattering Techniques

Above, is a video about the differences between our two takes of splattering blood against the radio. The first take turns out too gloopy and stringy, not looking as real and as effective.
For the next take, we decided to water down the fake blood and use a thicker and bigger paint brush. This looked much more effective and real looking. The blood moves more fluently like the girl has been stabbed brutally.
