Hey, everyone. Hope you're all still watching cause the wait's over! Here's a new post! And guess what: it contains Zombies!! About a week or so ago we tried our hands at making a horror short with Zombies. We've never gotten the chance to do it, so that day was a good day and a first.
The plot was that a kid has a jerk of a baby sitter who tells him to go to his room so he can party with his buddies and play Dungeons and Dragons. However things start falling apart when the first arrival to the party is a ZOMBIE!! He bites the baby sitter and now there are two. Then a pizza boy comes and makes three! Now there are Zombies running around the house and only the kid can save the day. Will he succeed? Guess you're gonna have to wait and see for yourself. Chris' working on it. He has a few things he needs to edit and finish.
For now, here are some pictures of us in stages of make up work as done by our awesome cinematographer, make up magician, and cool girl Veronica Delgado. Enjoy!
First to be done with on the Zombie work was me. I play the friend who begins the epidemic. Or spreads it. Either way I'm the starting problem.
Since I was first, Veronica pretty much just used my face for trial and error. She also didn't have a lot of supplies to use so she was a bit limited.
I think it's coming together pretty well with what she's got. Considering it's Halloween discount Party City Monster Make-up. Always a good deal to keep a look out on if you're a film maker. After Halloween, Party City has a 75% off every Halloween thing so they can clear the shelves.
For a bit of fun, we attempted to have it look like brain matter was coming outta my face. It looked cool.
The coloration is spreading to my neck!! I'M ROTTING!!!
And lo and behold: me as a Zombie! I have coloring on my arms and I'm holding a severed leg. Some poor bastard's not happy about that.
Ah yes. Pure fun and insanity: a sock monkey on top of a messed up head. That's actually gonna be one of the Zombie heads near the end.
The virus is spreading! The director's been Zombified!!
Notice the brain matter's gone. She didn't have spirit gum to keep it on my face. It fell off in the first take. I still look good. Chris looks pretty damned creepy too.
The house is preparing for World War Z! The baby should always get the Mini Gun.
So there you have it: proof that we're still working on movies and care for you guys. Thanks for all your support and thank you for continually watching us. We'll have more soon and maybe we'll get our shit together and make more posts more closely on a schedule.

The brain effects are too cool.
