FIRE
The Book of Zombie crew got the band back together this weekend to shoot some fireballs for visual effects. We shot late into the night in Scott's backyard with Bob's new HVX200 camera. The fireballs look amazing in HD, super slow motion! We used powdered coffee creamer, black powder and gun powder. (Don't try this at home) I'll post some behind the scenes video at some point. I really love blowing stuff up...

Week 17 - What about Zed?
Saturday
Our only night of filming this week. We only have one more weekend of shooting to go. The production returned to the Puyallup location once again. Scott's backyard became David and Jenny's for the night.
Saturday was also a wrap for Brian and Larissa. We started this production at the beginning of summer, sweating in a bar in Auburn. Now, we can see the actor's breath and they have to put on jackets between takes.
Post-production update:
I've captured all footage up to this day and can now begin editing. Behind the scenes footage is currently being logged for the huge documentary. More making-of shorts will be coming very shortly...

Week 16 - Zombies Invade Puyallup
Saturday
The weather reports were dire. A monsoon was predicted to hit Puyallup the exact moment we were to begin shooting and then last all night. We went ahead with the shoot anyway and defied all odds to a glorious success. Only mild sprinkles fell, the zombies were happy (as happy as zombies can be) , only one car was seriously damaged.
The scene that we were working on was David and Jenny's exit from their backyard and stumble upon a literal horde of zombies. There were zombies in the driveway and lining the streets. Scott staged his car to look like it had plowed into a tree in the yard. There was even a dead body hanging out the passenger window. Most of our lights were hidden behind the car to light the zombies in the road. A smoke machine was hidden under the hood of the car and billowed smoke for every take.
We finally did an epic jib shot as our heroes run down the street, dodging the zombies. Adam built the jib early in production and we finally had the chance to put it to good use. The shot is amazing. We also shot David and Jenny running, using Scott's van as a dolly. I shot steady-cam out the side door, while Paul held a light out the front window. How they managed to out run us once is still unknown.
The monsoon didn't hit until the drive home.

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.

Exploding Head
Here's the behind the scenes video of Team Zombie exploding a fake head with a shotgun. Marcel did an amazing job building the head. It's stuffed with condoms filled with blood and applesauce. Adam built a wooden pedestal to put the head on and Scott fired the gun. We shot with both the 100A and the XL2. Check out the slo-mo replay of take two. If you watch closely, you can see that the blast lifts the whole pedestal off of the milk crates. Lighting and video playback provided by Oppenheimer Cine Rental.
