A vomit scene.

嘔吐場景！

For every disgusting vomit scene in a movie, there's an effects team that actually had to make the stuff, and an actor who had to sell it.

每場噁心的嘔吐場景幕後都有一群特效團隊，他們真的會把嘔吐物做出來，讓演員來吐。

Hi, everyone. My name is Ben.

嗨，大家好。我叫做 Ben。

Today, I'm heading to NYSPFX in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and I'm gonna see how fake puke is made for movies and TV.

今天我要前往布魯克林紅鉤區的電影特效公司 NYSPFX，去看看電影和電視裡的假嘔吐物是怎麼做的。

And I couldn't be more excited, because I'm gonna get to try some of it myself.

我等不及了！因為我還可以自己動手做。

Grab a snack.

準備好……點心。

Mmm, you might not want to eat while you watch this.

嗯……你等等看的時候或許不會想吃東西。

This is Mike Myers, a special effects artist and the founder of NYSPFX.

這位是 Mike Myers，他是一位特效藝術家，同時也是 NYSPFX 的創辦人。

Myers and his team created some of the coolest practical effects for the Batman prequel show "Gotham" and can do everything from breakaway glass to fake blood.

Myers 和他的團隊為蝙蝠俠前傳影集《高譚市》製作超級酷的特效，舉凡爆破窗和假血。

But today is all about the puke, which Myers executed flawlessly in the 2015 film "While We're Young."

不過今天重點在嘔吐物，Myers 在 2015 年電影《青春倒退嚕》中就曾完美執行過。

Watch the carpet.

別沾到地毯啊！

Fake vomit comes in all shapes, sizes, and textures.

假嘔吐物分各種形狀、大小和質地。

It can be made to look realistic or exaggerated, depending on the scene and genre.

它可以看起來很像真的或是過分誇張，取決於場景和種類。

In "While We're Young," they used a combination of potato-leek and split-pea soup.

在《青春倒退嚕》一片，他們採用了馬鈴薯韭菜和去皮裂豌豆湯的混合。

We're attempting today Top Ramen to give that squiggly, soft noodle projectile nastiness to hopefully stick to someone's lip when they're done.

我們今天要試著用泡麵做出那種亂七八糟、軟乎乎的麵條噴射、噁心的樣子，希望能在人吐完之後還黏在嘴唇上。

Today, we have some frozen berries that we're gonna mix up.

今天我們有一些冷凍莓子要混合。

All right, so here comes the tomato paste.

好了，再加上番茄醬。

Yum.

好吃哦！

A little thickener, little color.

看起來更稠，增添顏色。

So, we have tomato paste.

所以我們加了番茄醬。

That just splashed all over me, perfect.

要濺到我臉上了，完美。

You're in the splash zone.

你在戰區內啊！

Yeah.

沒錯。

Look how good that looks.

你看這有多棒。

This looks very familiar to me. But not too familiar.

看起來很熟悉。但也不是太熟悉。

For this experiment, we used three different types of puke.

為了這次體驗，我們採用了三種不同的嘔吐物。

So, we got our first fake puke right there.

現在這裡是我們的第一份假嘔吐物。

That's peas and water.

混合了豌豆和水。

And then this was a nice mix of ramen, water, and tomato paste.

然後這混了泡麵、水和番茄醬。

And so now we've got berries, right.

然後現在我們有漿果，沒錯。

Third one is gonna have berries and water.

第三份要混合莓子和水。

Just water, yeah.

沒錯，只有加水。

Great.

太棒了。

This is definitely the kind of fake vomit that's gonna stain my clothing.

這肯定就是那種會把我衣服染色的假嘔吐物。

Yes, for sure.

那肯定。

But I anticipated that, so I wore my jeans that have pizza on them already, so.

不過我早有預料，所以我穿了早就沾了披薩的牛仔褲來。

Once we had the mixtures, it was time to load them into the tubes.

準備好混合物後，是時候把它們裝進管子裡。

Now, this stage is actually just as important to making convincing fake puke as the actor who has to sell the scene.

這一個步驟其實和負責嘔吐的演員一樣重要，嘔吐物看起來才會夠說服力。

The pumps that we utilize are made for liquids, not vomit, thick, pasty substances.

我們使用的幫浦是一般液體專用的，而非用來噴射又黏又稠的嘔吐物。

We use our main liquid as our propellant and then in the vertical tubes on the pumping incorporate the thicker paste that will then be pushed upward and outward first.

我們主要用液體當推進力，在幫浦的垂直管線裡才會加進濃厚的嘔吐物，這樣就會先被往上推然後推出來。

The mixture also needed to be this texture for another reason: realism.

混合物要有這種質地也是為了呈現真實感。

The medium-density, thick part of the mixture will be fed into the top of the tubes, and the rest that comes out will be more like liquid, which Myers says follows the pattern of real-life vomit.

管子前端放置濃度居中、較濃稠的嘔吐物，後頭出來的部分就會比較稀，Myers 說這樣符合現實生活中的嘔吐物。

Yeah, that looks really gross.

嗯，看起來真的很噁心。

I needed a little acting advice first.

我需要一些表演建議。

When they have to, like, regurgitate and project, there does have to be some body motion involved, but it pretty much has to say if there's my hose and if I'm regurgitating, I can't (retches) go up because then my hose is coming out of my mouth.

反胃、嘔吐時一定會伴隨一些肢體動作，不過當我在嘔吐時不能往上方吐，不然會露出水管。

So he has to know to only go forward and open his mouth wide and keep his mouth open.

所以演員必須往前動作，嘴要持續張大。

'Cause if he closes his mouth and the vomit's still coming out, what a wasted take that is.

因為如果嘴巴閉起來了、嘔吐物還在噴，那幕就浪費了。

OK, we're gonna do this whole bucket.

好，我們要來噴完這一桶。

Yeah, that's about 8 gallons of worth of...

對，差不多是 30 公升的 ……

Yeah, that's a lot.

真多。

Chum.

碎塊。

This is probably the chunkiest mixture.

這大概是其中最塊狀的種類。

And there was going to be a lot of it.

而且會噴非常多。

Three, two, one.

三、二、一。

One, one hundred, two.

一秒、兩秒。

Another one.

再來一次。

Three, two, one.

三、二、一。

One, one hundred, two.

一秒、兩秒。

I think getting the timing right is, like, the first initial challenge.

我覺得時機掌握是頭一個挑戰。

You hear it coming up, and so, like, as long as you're just kinda, like, you know, ready to go, then you're good to go.

你聽到它要噴出來了，所以只要你準備好了，就可以開始了。

The pea-soup mixture is different for several reasons.

青豆湯混合物不太一樣，有幾個不同處。

It's mixed with a lot of water, making it a lot more liquidy.

它含有很多水，所以稀很多。

And for this, they instead use a pressure pot with clear tubes attached.

所以他們改用壓力鍋和一條透明管子連接。

I'm like the guy in the group project that doesn't help, but still gets an A anyways.

我好像那種組別報告沒做任何事但還是拿到高分的人。

Great.

很好。

This hose allows you the flexibility where you're not rigid.

這條水管讓你可以自由動、不用僵著。

OK, cool.

好。

So, because you have a guy behind you, you can go left, right, up, down, turn to that camera and splash it.

你後頭有個人，所以你可以往左、往右、往上。往下，轉向鏡頭噴。

Cool.

酷。

Do you want me to puke on you?

你想要我吐你身上嗎？

Puke near you? Puke that way?

吐你附近？往那裡吐？

And you said that it's gonna dribble down my lip?

你說它會沿著我嘴邊滴下來？

Once we shut it off, it'll dribble, dribble, dribble.

一旦關掉它就會開始一直滴。

Great, cool.

棒哦，很酷。

And that gives some authenticity.

那樣看起來比較像真的。

'Cause it's also got a deflector in the front that's gonna spray a little.

因為前段有一個擋流板，所以會有點噴灑的效果。

Ooh, sweet.

哇太讚了。

This works well for a scene involving out-of-control vomiting.

這很適合失控瘋狂嘔吐的場景。

You might wanna watch out, Nick.

小心哦，Nick。

One piece of advice I would give: Aim away from the camera.

我給的一個小小建議：別對著鏡頭。

I am covered in fake puke, and I'm not the only one.

我身上都是假嘔吐物，而且不止我一個。

For some types of puke, no rigs or hoses are required.

某些種類的嘔吐物不需要用到裝備或水管。

Of Facebook and reality...

臉書和現實 ……

G------ it!

** 的！

Oh, my God.

噢我的天啊。

S---.

*！

It's the shrimp.

是蝦子的問題。

For a spit take, a member of the effects team would scoop a little bit of fake puke up.

為了拍小吐的畫面，特效團隊人員舀了一些假嘔吐物。

Oop, that seems like a lot.

噢，好像用太多了。

And the actor would swallow it and then spit it up.

演員要先把它含在嘴裡然後吐出來。

Like that?

像這樣？

Yeah, that's pretty good.

沒錯，做得很好。

How did that look, guys?

大家，看起來如何？

That looked great.

看起來很棒。

Should I do some more?

要再拍嗎？

How'd it taste?

嚐起來如何？

Actually, really good.

其實很不錯。

There's always room for a little improvement.

永遠都可以做得更好。

Are there any tips you can give me for how to improve my performance?

你可以給我任何提點或是改善的建議嗎？

Well a good thing to do would just a little more retching.

你可以再多做一些反胃的動作。

A little shoulder movement, a little try to sell it a little more.

一點肩膀動作，演技再誇張一點。

And even if you put your hand in front, and get a little bit more, you know, separate where it's coming from.

甚至可以把手舉在前面，這樣吐出來的時候看起來就會有四散的感覺。

Maybe a little bit coming down on yourself.

或許身上沾到一些。

All right, no problem.

好的，沒問題。

I felt like I was in the most control.

我感覺掌控了全局。

I could kind of, obviously, I could time it myself.

很顯然我可以自己掌握時機。

I didn't have to, to time it up with the rig or anything like that, which I think allowed me to get more into my performance.

不需要配合設備之類的，我想這讓我更容易表現。

Love berries, so...

我很愛莓子，所以 ……

That spit take is the one for me.

我喜歡這種小吐的場景。

And with no tubes to cover up nor massive sprays to avoid, the camera can look straight on to the actor.

而且因為沒有水管要遮、或是噴濺物要迴避，鏡頭可以正對演員。

However, there are many ways to hide these pesky tubes.

不過要隱藏這些麻煩的水管也是有很多方式。

Sometimes, they're simply taken out in post-production.

有時候，就是在後製的時候去掉。

Other times, it's all about where you place the camera.

其他時候則是取決於鏡頭位置。

And while CGI is used to aid the process, fake-vomit scenes are still largely done practically.

雖然電腦合成影像可以輔助製作嘔吐過程，假嘔吐的畫面多半還是依靠實際操作。

More work than you can imagine goes into creating something that, in the end, might just be on screen for a couple of seconds, but can still be the most memorable moment of any given movie or TV show.

這比想像的需要更多幕後工作，雖然在螢幕上才出現幾秒，但卻是片中最讓人印象深刻的一幕。

But it could be cool.

不過也可以很有趣。

If these would get stained with berry juice, then it might actually be kind of a cool look.

如果可以染到莓子色，那看起來也蠻酷的。

Yeah.

對啊。

I don't know.

是說或許啦。

The berries are delicious.

莓子很好吃。
