Thank you for your interest in becoming a zombie for Zone Zero: Decampment!
In order for everything to go smoothly, we must setup standard protocol for all zombies. Doing so creates for a faster and more efficient film shoot that is worthy of your donated time and energy.
ALL zombies need to have the phone number of the Director, Executive Producer, and The Makeup artist. (Sam, Gerald, Ashley)
Sam--(254) 462-8047
Gerald--(713) 248-1013
Ashley--(281) 435-6026
Most of your questions should be answered by Ashley, so please call her first if you have any issues. She herself will direct any questions to Gerald or Sam if needed. The reason for this being that while Ashley takes care of makeup and zombies, Sam and Gerald are actually on location setting up for the scene and preparing with the actors.
PRE-ZOMBIE
1. It is best to shower the day before the shoot, not the day of. The oil that your hair produces overnight will help for "zombifying" it the next day.
2. Do not use any product in your hair after your shower. Again, the natural state will best be suited for zombie-ness.
3. Ladies, please no makeup when you come to the shoot. We will have to remove it before we put on the zombie makeup so its pointless to come with makeup. Save your beauty makeup for the wrap party!
4. It's best not to bring anything valuable such as jewlry and such...just saying.
WARDROBE
1. You will get dirty and bloody from head to toe, so consider this when you pick out your zombie outfit...
2. Please come in your zombie costume already. This saves us time. You may bring spare clothes to change into afterwards.
3. Long pants are preferred, but if you wear shorts or anything like that be preparred to have makeup on your legs.
4. There will be LOTS of movement, so please consider your footwear. Make sure its comfortable, and "save your toes"...
5. If you wear a hat to the shoot, (or anything you wear really) we will consider it free game for zombification. You have been warned.
ARRIVING FOR MAKEUP
1. Please do your best to show up on time. Also, please RSVP your status as a zombie before the day of shooting. We need an accurate count of zombies before we begin our makeup process.
2. There are only 2 makeup artists and many zombies. There will be down time for many of you. We will provide entertainment (TV, movies, etc.) during your waiting time.
3. Try to keep it down during the waiting time...it can get hectic setting up the makeup before the shoot, so please respect our makeup artists!
4. Ladies, it is best that you leave your purse at home...
PROVISIONS
1. Please eat before you come
2. We will provide water.
3. You may bring snacks and drinks if you wish.
4. We are poor student filmmakers so unfortunately we do not have enough budget to feed everyone every day. ONLY on really LONG days, we will provide food--little caesars pizza. If you wish to donate to the food cause that would be wonderful, but not required.
ON SET PROCEDURE
1. There will be alot of down time between shot setups. It is understandable that you may tune out and talk amongst your other zombie friends. This is acceptable, but please be sure you are aware of the film crew and pay attention to what is going on. When we are ready to roll, you need to be ready to go. Staying on your toes created for a faster, more efficient shoot.
2. You must listen to our designated "zombie supervisor" and/or director. If you are a problem on set, we will kick you out. We have spent much time and money on this project and are treating it in a professional manner.
3. Do not wander from the designated filming area.
4. Have Fun...or else =P
PS...yes this is alot to take in. But you have no idea how much we appreciate this!!!
PSS...The wrap party for Zone Zero is going to be AWESOME....just sayin. (all zombies are invited)
