Zombie makeup and my first car hit.

Another quick post..so last weekend I worked on a pretty cool project for Rob Pinkston (coconut head from Ned’s Declassified). And I have to say, this was one of the best sets I’ve ever been on, and the best film crews I’ve seen in action. We filmed at CBS and this set was arguably the most-efficiently run (and the most fun) that I’ve  seen yet.

With the director and vfx supervisor.

I’ve always been a fan of Horror films, and Zombies hold a special place in my heart. My favorite zombie film is 28 Days Later, I love the music and the feeling of the story that movie shows you. As an action artist and a person who is always looking for a new challenge, I’ve been writing a couple of my own concepts down to explore the genre. (Hopefully the future will help me bring you guys my ideas in finished project form)

Anyways, I knew that one day I would finally get put in full zombie makeup, so when I got the call to work on this project I jumped right on board! There were no fights in this one, but my character does get hit by a car (and run over repeatedly). I really enjoyed acting the zombie part as well, I got to play the main zombie antagonist and it was cool actually having a script (no lines) as a zombie..it was fun getting in character!

The makeup artist is very good at what she does, and I think I ended up looking pretty scary.. 

I see you!

The most interesting part of sitting in makeup, was getting glue stick smeared over my eyebrows so the latex wouldn’t rip them out later. I also found a childish joy in peeling the latex off of my face and hands after the shoot (which reminded me of putting glue on my hands in middle school and waiting for it to dry before peeling it off).

Having a bunch of latex on your face does have some down sides, like when you can’t do anything that will make you break a sweat (otherwise you will suffer). The makeup did get a little hot, and I started worrying about parts of it falling off from the sweat (I was running and throwing myself at a windshield). Nothing did end up falling off, so my conclusion on the zombie makeup? I love it!! I can’t wait to work on a horror feature film in the future..

Here is probably the most striking picture I’ve seen from set..

Ominous Zombie fire..

Part 2 of the awesome weekend involved me running full speed at a car and throwing myself at the windshield…I can’t say any more until the video comes out, but I can’t wait to see it and show you guys!

Now I have to go and scrub the green make-up off of my bath tub!

Until next time,
