If you go down in the woods...

So, for week four we were shooting in the woods which meant being at the mercy of the british weather.
There were a few mornings where we would arrive on set only to sit undercover for two hours waiting for the rain to stop, it was a good opportunity to slowly wake up and grab a few shots of cast and crew before heading down the hill into the woods. I had been taking my polaroid to set since day one but now we were outside I had the opportunity to use it. I shot approx two and a half boxes of film. I would have shot more but it's pretty steeply priced.

They're dead, they're all messed up.

Well, that's it. Principal photography and my time on set is over, which means i've got a ton of photographs to sort through. I've tried to shoot a mixture of film and digital including about 30 or so polaroids with the Polaroid Automatic 100 which i'll scan and upload.

During the first and third weeks of shooting we shot scenes featuring hordes of zombies.
For the first group we had around 50 zombies which were made up by the awesome Sara Hughes  and Heidi Clarke. The second group were recruited to shoot one scene we couldn't shoot in the first week due to time restrictions.

It was great fun having all the zombies on set, they were mostly made up of all our family members and friends.

We interrupt this broadcast

It has been brought to my attention that I have missed someone out of my posts, so by way of apology this entire post is dedicated to the wonderful Jade Colucci. Over the course of the shoot she has been hit in the face with a gun, hurt her hand during a pulled punch and sat in A&E in full bloodied up costume. 
Jade has been a trooper throughout the entire shoot and not complained once, so this one's for her.
