Tactical Realistic Wound Representation (TRWD)

One of our main focuses in the area of SFX makeup is the depiction of wounds, injuries, accident wounds, etc. We can draw on many years of experience from countless missions.
My main focus is on combat injuries or operational injuries, which is why I don’t refer to this as RUND (or RUD) but as Tactical Realistic Wound Representation (TRWD).

For me, this also includes (if desired) outfitting the actors with appropriate clothing or equipment appropriate to the scenario, including the scenic coordination of the wound, etc. This also includes the use of certain rescue equipment or their simulation. I am happy to advise you in advance and am open to ideas.

Some examples of the most common injuries depicted:

Gunshot wounds of all kinds (stick wounds, grazes, through-shot wounds)
Cut wounds of all kinds and sizes, regardless of how they were caused
Splinter wounds of all sizes, from splinters, shrapnel to large tears
Injuries caused by explosive charges, IEDs, etc.
Burns of various degrees including blisters, skin peeling, etc.
Specific injuries to the head and face area (mouth, jaw)
Open neck or large neck wound with exposed windpipe
Hematomas and body trauma
Open and closed fractures
Amputation injuries or avulsions of limbs (in collaboration with real amputee actors)

My wound portfolio includes over 25 self-designed transfer wound forms (for rapid deployment) as well as various special forms from the USA. I also build our prosthetics myself and have access to various silicone materials.

The images are just a few examples.

I work with materials specifically developed for SFX makeup. Thanks to the right equipment and experience, many wounds can be created in a very short time, meaning they can be used quickly. These can be quickly retouched during use and also have a long shelf life of up to 12 hours.

It goes without saying that I only work with tested and compatible materials. Hygiene is absolutely paramount – and not just since the coronavirus pandemic. This includes ensuring that the actors do not have any real wounds on their skin or any dermatological abnormalities.

I am always open to suggestions and ideas for new injury patterns and am happy to develop suitable concepts with our clients. At the beginning of every project, consultation is key to a successful application.
