News of an awesome event here in Leicester. Saturday 1st November sees the dead rising at The Phoenix Cinema ( did you see what i did there, did you see ? Rising, Pheonix, zombie? ). The Terror4Fun people have put together a day of zombie madness with short films, features, make up demos and zombie caricatures. Don’t miss this one dudes!

Well, it had to happen sometime. This was a day of pick ups mainly which should have been fairly straight forward. Famous last words. I am going to bed.

Had to post this, an in-camera still of the footage shot on Sunday. This guy had little make up on but in his position and movement looked great. What a freaky zombie. Awesome!

Wow – what a mad day(28/09/08). Biggest zombie day so far this one – 27 i think. a tough one for Gav, Rachael and Nateal but aided by Steve and Jim and perhaps Kit (?) they pulled it off. As is often the case hold ups led to shot changes in terms of order which means quick rethinking. Looking through the footage we got some great shots but will need some pick ups on Saturday.

Hopefully you can see the latest photos on facebook here.

Indeed a day of zombie glorification approaches. Hoping to get 20 zombies for this one – keep Gav and his crew on their toes. Also a magnificent head crushing scene to be nailed and some tasty scenes by torchlight. All in all its gonna be a big day!

BBC Radio article on Zombie Undead. Kris and I were interviewed on radio a couple of weeks ago (14/08/09) by Leicester DJ Chris Baxter. Check the article and the interview itself out here. Excellent fun and, we feel, well worth a listen .

From the twisted mind of Kit Cox comes some more zombie images. More will soon be added to the Media section of the Zombie Undead website.

Whoops forgot to post this entry. Day 09 was 17/08/08 but better late than never. Another glorious day of zombies when we shot three separate short scenes.

Firstly was a new section written by Kris for Chris as Phil. Its a little vignette giving hints of a conspiracy and that Phil knows more than he’s letting on.

Secondly was a dialogue free scene for Barry which joins together scenes already shot.

Thirdly was a scene which we may add as a prologue to the opening sequence. After showing the opening sequence to people several commented that it wasn’t clear what we were trying to show so we filmed a very short sequence of the bomber putting a bomb into his backpack then walking out.

Intriguing site i stumbled upon the other day can be found here. A fellow blogger this diaries a bloke who , for 1 year, is watching one zombie movie a day. Now that’s dedication.

All around the world, zombies are gathering – in certain places at certain times. Crawl of the Dead documents all the zombie walks planned in the upcoming months. An email has alerted me to the Blackpool Zombie Walk which is on World Zombie Day – so register and join in!

A nice feature on the site is the Google Earth powered Worldwide Zombie Walk Outlook and Worldwide Zombie Locator.
