Day 08 Runthrough

Had an awesome script runthrough tonight for Day 08. Day 08 is a 6 character/6 page dialog shoot so a practice for this was essential. A few tweaks were made as the actors and myself felt how the characters would talk and act. No major changes but the actors have to be happy in delivering the words they say. Overall an enjoyable and valuable process which we shall use again on dialog heavy scenes which will save us valuable time on shooting days.

New camera op Dave Sinclair came and recorded the evening. When we get time we'll bang those on a behind the scenes. Big thanks to all who came late in the evening, especially to Sarah who read Ruth's part and stood in at late notice!

Constant Alert

Speaking to an old friend of mine from college, Bob Mitchell, yesterday. He said something which brought a smile to my lips and kinda summed up the whole no budget film making thing. We were talking about the roles i have in the makng of ZU and how much has to be done. To him Bob said that it sounded like i was at constant degree mode - meaning always deadlines, things to be done, people to call etc. He got it spot on. No budget film making is not for the faint of heart - its hard to take time off and relax. But hey it'll all be worth it ;-).

Dark Knight actor in Zombie Undead

ZU actor Barry Thomas has a role in The Dark Knight, and whats more hes in the trailer! Awesome news. Barry, Steve in Zombie Undead, is one of The Jokers goons, playing opposite Heath Ledger. When i spoke to Barry earlier today he was full of praise for Heath saying he made time to speak to everyone, extras included, and was not your typical Hollywood actor.

The Dark Knight is released in July. For those who cant wait to catch a glimpse of Barry watch the trailer here. When The Joker enters the room look bottom left for the big guy in a maroon suit. The question is - did you get to keep that awesome suit Barry?
