Hello gang, time to dust off this old thing and get posting again.

We’ve been very quiet, in fact we’ve done very little. But, as has become a bit of a tradition now, we are once again entering the 2 Days Later Short Film Competition. As much as we enjoyed making last year’s short film our original effort is where our hearts lie, and due to the fact there are still stories to tell in this world we are returning to where it all began: Get Dead.

We’ll be talking about it more in the coming weeks but for now we’re putting the word out that WE NEED ZOMBIES. We will most likely be shooting around the end of July or start of August depending on when we get script writing and pre-production finished so there’s no pressure to commit to anything just yet. But if you are interested let us know and we’ll keep you up to date with how things are progressing.

Thanks!

Don’t you know what’s goin’ on out there? This is no Sunday School picnic!

I’m not sure what it is about zombies but they’re very accessible.

I bought a new camera (replacing the Canon XM2) this month; a Canon 550D DLSR so it doubles up as a stills camera too (check out some photos taken with it on Flickr). To get stuck in shooting some video with it we decided to do some test shots which weren’t really connected narratively but would look like they were from the same film. Naturally, we chose a zombie outbreak as the background to our “film”.

Since it was at late notice we didn’t get a great amount of zombies but we did get some conventional footage that looks great and we can definitely use. Hopefully we’ll be shooting some more zombie action this weekend, and maybe there’ll be some way we can stick it all together for everyone to watch. Who knows!
