Don't go breaking my heart!

We have a heart! Granted we all have a heart, BUT for filming purposes we MADE a heart! We followed a recipe we found on youtube posted by Glam&Gore (video below).

The recipe wasn't too hard to follow. Mind you the heart is being made out of gelatin. The recipe said to put the "heart" in the freezer for 45 minutes to allow it to set, but after those 45 minutes in the freezer the heart was not set. I was a little frustrated at the time because my group and I really wanted to use the heart that day. Sadly we couldn't use it.

We kept the heart in the freezer the entire time we were filming so it could harden up. After my group members left my house, around 10:30pm, I went back to check on the heart and it FINALLY SET!!!
I took it out of the plastic wrap we put the gelatin in and it was tedious because I didn't want to rip off to much jello. It turned out definitely better than I had expected! The shape of the gelatin did actually look like a heart. It is very delicate, and cold at the moment, but definitely looking like a heart.

We used strawberry jello to emphasize a red color in the heart. I further did so by adding red food gel around the heart to make it look more bloody.

Overall, I am very satisfied with how the heart came out and I am so excited to start using it in future filming sessions. Up next, making some organs!!
