I can bring the history of blood splashing on the camera back to 1964. In Paradzhanov's Ukrainian film _Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors_ tha main character's father is killed with an axe and the blood runs down the lens in a subjective shot. It transforms then into silhouetted horses. It is one of great examples in the creative use of colour during the 1960s. Bohdan Nebesio **************************************** Bohdan Y.
