7th Weekend - Margarita Night (of the Dead)
Ashley prepared Mexican for dinner for us tonight. Then decided that we needed margaritas. Everything was delicious. Some of our zombies may have gotten a little drunk... with their stunt heads:
The set also had a visit from a press photographer. I'm not sure when the story's going to be published, but I'll post a link to the paper's website when it does. The Book of Zombie continued shooting the "montage of death". This started with Jenny fighting one of the Mormon Zombies. We had a great fake head and rubber hands. We did some of the effect shots with two cameras.
I even did some shots laying on by back, watching a machete attack happening above my head.
This was great. On the first take, Larisa just managed to lop off some fingers. The second take took the whole hand. In true TBOZ fashion, copious amounts of blood was expelled from the gaping hole...
Erik hacking away at the head with Marcel holding a fake hand into the frame. The head was so stout that it took many takes to lop it off.
Here's our wonderful slate. I got to slate every shot for this scene. We were running short on crew at 7am and it was pretty tight quarters on the floor behind the bar. I finally had an excuse to use the wide angle lens adapter for Brian's close-ups.

6th Weekend - Montage of Death Continues
Friday
Friday started out with transforming Ashley into a Zombie again. This time we added the hammer to her head. Check out the new video here.
We still hadn't cast the part of Booth yet. Bill Johns was scheduled to come in for an audition around this time. He was cast on the spot and we're ready to start shooting as soon our Linderman's set is ready. Adam is heading up the construction team to transform The Rail into a convenience store.
Our first shots of the day were of David throwing the hammer at Ashley. Brian looked like he was having a good time throwing the hammer across the bar at a metal door.
You may have seen the geyser of blood video I posted last week. Well, today we shot the actual decapitation. Larisa had to take Ashley's head off with a machete. We even managed to launch some more blood out of the neck.
Next up was Brian trying to cut up his first Zombie with a battle-axe. He eventually got her on the ground and uses his thumbs for a very gory death.
While most of us were inside shooting the above scene, others were outside setting up for dawn. Traffic was very uncooperative. It was impossible to shoot this scene in 1, uninterrupted shot. We had to break it up a little bit, so no cars will be seen in the final edit.
Saturday
This is where Marcel got dressed-up as a teenage Zombie and got cut in half. First, we did the shots of him getting sliced with the axe and his guts falling out. Then we took a short break while Adam cut a hole in the floor. Marcel got into the hole and Adam fake-shemped the twitching legs.
We finished up the day with a couple of pick-up shots. The first was Brian stabbing Alex's eyes. For this we used the Alex dummy head. The last shot of the night was battle-axe blood splatter.

Geyser of BLOOD
We're not shooting this week, so everyone can enjoy the 4th of July weekend. I'm sure some of us will be seeing Transformers a few more times... I've decided to make a new behind-the-scenes video for your enjoyment: Geyser of Blood. I'll try and get another done by Monday.
