Greetings Deadites,
Sunday, July 17, 2011. That is the day I got to be zombie. Not a haunt zombie, but a movie zombie. I spent the day in Kentucky, on the set of “Revelation Trail”, a different kind of zombie movie. This one is set in the old west. Check out the link
For those of you that have not been on a working movie set, let me tell you that parts of it got long and boring, but when we were shooting scenes it was fun. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. Candace in wardrobe made sure that we all had the correct costumes for the period and she even had to deal with a few of the difficult ones to fit, like myself. Makeup was done by team B.A.M., the makeup team behind the creature creation of the Dent Schoolhouse.
We had various extras doing different scenes, from closeup zombies biting at the camera, to dead bodies lying face down, to a group of zombies getting picked off one by one, by a marksman. And this was just one day of shooting!. The majority of principle filming is going through the end of the month, in several different locations around Kentucky.
I got to speak briefly with John, the director, and although there was no time to get an interview with him, he has told me that after things cool off in mid August, that he will sit down with me and we will have a long interview and perhaps get some more insight into his creative vision of a zombie outbreak.
On a personal level, I was very proud of the Unknown Scare-Actress, for not only was she in the same scene with me, but she was in a great close up shot that I hope they keep in the film. After we shot the scene, the director told me she did an awesome job!
Well Deadites, that’s it for now
So Sit Back, Relax and Rot Away…and check out Revelation Trail
