More than 28 days later

Saturday marked a momentous occasion for a lot of us. We finally got to see Zombie Resurrection up  on a big screen, sat in a cinema packed with cast, crew and family members of those involved, including my parents. Needless to say that after sitting through more swearing than an extended edition of Nil by Mouth and watching a scotsman tear a zombies spine out my parents are still talking to me.

It was a great evening and really good to catch up with some people I haven't seen for over a year. 

Who said zombie films don't bring people together!

p.s Jade there's a picture of you on here now :-)

Showtime!

The trailer to Zombie Resurrection is now available online for your viewing pleasure.
It's so good to see everyones hard work coming together. Stay tuned to  the Charmed Apocalypse
website for more info and keep checking back here for more on set stills.

Mr Jim Sweeney

During the last week of filming we would sit for up to two hours a day waiting for the torrential rain to stop. So whilst drinking tea and eating my way through a mountain of baguettes I took some shots of the cast and crew enjoying the down time.

All images in this post were taken using a Bronica ETRSI medium format camera.

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.

When there's no more room left in hell...

Today is day 12 in the shooting schedule, so tonight will be our last night in Winchester after which we will be packing up and heading back to Basingstoke for the third week.

The first week of the apocalypse

So, the first week is over and we've all had a great time on set.
We've seen a zombie get a silver tray through its face and another get a golf club through its head.
On Friday loads of our friends and family came down to take part in the zombie horde scene in the main hall. I've set up my studio on set and have been photographing all involved and will upload shots whenever I can, so stay tuned.
