Luchadores and Film Makers

Morning all. I've been busy these past two weeks working on some new projects. Here are a few shots to show you what i've been working on. I'll put more detailed posts up once i've sorted through all the pictures.

120° of the dead

The Horizon Kompakt is a clockwork panoramic camera that shoots a 120° photograph by cocking the cameras shutter then releasing the mechanism. I was fortunate enough to have been given one of these cameras a few years ago when a friend of mine upgraded hers. They are similar in many ways to the Widelux although you don't have as much control over your images as the Widelux offers.

I had always been aware of Jeff Bridges work shooting with a Widelux on every film set he has worked on and wanted to try something similar. Being on the set of Resurrection was my opportunity to put the camera to good use. I still have more films to develop and one in the camera to finish off which  will upload once they are ready to scan.

See Jeff Bridges amazing work here.

Thanks for tuning in!

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.

The last three characters we have met in the last week are Gibson (Joe Rainbow), Mac (Jim Sweeney) and Harden (Jade Colucci). It has been great watching them all get into character and they've all kept our spirits up during the long shifts.
