I can do some filming. It would be great to get a script.
I'm pretty good with make up and FX. I make a great zombie, severed limbs, wounds stuff like that.
I live in the woods in Worcester, MA, so I can do a lot of filming outdoors and a little in my house. I have a dirt crawlspace under my house, it could be a good place to hide out & survive.
My extras can range from 2-5(ish), so I have some peeps to play zombies.

I don't know why I didn't mention this before but my family literally has an entire separate building from our house to keep all of our reptiles in. I wonnt get into the specifics but I'll just say that we have more animals around the house than our local zoo. Could provide some stock footage or whatever else anyone wants...

I'm in! this aspect of the film is what i singed on 4. I am wrighting up something now actualy. that fits the bill. the + my family owns and operates a 450 acre farm and I have conections with people that own lots of residental property that needs "fixing up" i.e. crapy and rundown houses, I have a far amount of frends and accuantences that are ether zombie nuts or film junkies, and years of sitting around with thous frends theorising the how r we going to survive posabilities. the - this is one of may hobbies 4 me granted one that prior to the discovery of this site had few outlets and is likely to go up several pegs on my what to do list, I do however work 50+ hours a week on average so time is not always in vast supply unfortunatly, I also just found out my wife is prego + 4 me, less + for that pesky time thing. this stuff i can work around thou. the bigger consern I have is that too date Iv only seen 2 other members that live a conveniant distance away from me, so any help i can get from the group is limited to online. (I will throw out there that I live in St. Peter MN. so any members close by or up travle, out there willing to help on my end let me know; I will eventually need people to play zombies :)

Nice and easy, 4 and 4. Pick a partner and get working! When the film people submit the finished diary entry, don't forget to say the Grid Square and your partner you have been working on in the title of the vid.

I pick Eliza!

Permalink Reply by Laz on March 15, 2009 at 8:30am

no we have 4 film people and 4 writers, as long as you dont pick yourself to write for yourself you should be ok.

It is probably best with hindsight that I pair you all up, purely to keep it simple.


So I picked Eliza (writer)

Kilr will be written for by ........Beth
DeadJester picks will be written for by ..........Steve 'Stevil' Moore
Eliza will be written for by ..........Reaper

it is up to each pair to decide exactly how they proceed, whether the film maker wants a full word by word script, or just a list of bullet points/goals to achieve throughout the diary etc..

You can use this discussion, create your own or use the message and comment parts of your profile. Also dont forget to ask for any help if anyone gets stuck etc..


Get to work!

I'd love to help contribute. I can do both, script and film with a standard hand held video camera. Ive got access to make up and costumes along with other people who'd probably be interested in shooting some zombie footage. I can do voice work too if anyone needs or mix some audio.

Locations, I'm in Sacramento and have access to Old Sacramento which has old timey westernish buildings, a river, and railroad tracks. Also pretty much anywhere in the Sacramento area I can gain public access to.
