Zombie Hood June 2010 Update
Another month comes and goes and we receive even more information on the progression of the filming for Zombie Hood! The June update has a lot of information on whats been going on over the past month and as always the film looks promising, we can’t wait to see the final product!
What a month! May has easily been our most hectic month yet with three consecutive weekend shoots. The Bill and Melanie scene shot in a cold, extremely windy alleyway in the early hours was by far the most testing shoot for some members of the crew. But no pain, no gain as they say as the scene plays so well and at least it makes us all appreciate the interior shoots that much more. We have now shot scenes with all of our lead characters and the footage looks phenomenal. The acting ability on this production is far beyond anything we could have hoped for and it’s been great to see our actors deliver whole conversations before the zombies pop up and the usual carnage ensues. And not to worry we’re still keeping our blood quota high, on our pub scene it tasted like chocolate and the ‘gore canon’ even came into use. The Sam and Dermott shoot also saw the introduction of our fictitious ‘Dead Pale Ale’ so keep a look out for that in the film.
As always we had a last minute location change so we must give a massive thank you to Twisted Playground for accommodating us at such short notice. The footage is great and the cramped conditions just made our crew bond that little bit faster.
June is already beginning to pick up pace as auditions have been held for the cut scenes and we managed to cast all the roles on the day. Again we thank everyone who turned up, the acting quality was beyond our expectations and it has been a very, very hard process to cast the roles. We wish we had enough parts for everyone, but we hope to see the unsuccessful applicants as prominent zombies in the future. In fact most people seemed to more excited about the prospect of being a zombie than the role they were auditioning for so hopefully we’ve left no one disappointed.
Hopefully June will see us keep this momentum going and we will get at least one scene in the can before the month is out. Of course as always we will be spending any free weekends location hunting, scheduling, storyboarding and finding new ways to kill zombies!
