The Odinsay Incident The project is in the very early stages and hopefully, if we can raise the funds we will be starting shooting next Summer. The setting for our movie will be on Sanday, one of the Orkney Islands. It is very remote and a perfect place to make a zombie movie (hopefully!!). It's a non-profit making organisation and they want to get a film making community set up in Orkney. Once things moving they would like to hear from any make-up artists who could help. Hopefully in the future they will be looking for cast and crew. Below is a link to a website page with details of the zombie project. It does say synopsis on the page, but it is more of a background to the story rather than a full synopsis of the movie. They will be adding the movie synopsis at a later date when the characters and plot lines have developed a bit further. http://www.orkneyislandsfilms.org.uk/odinsay.html

Ay Up Me Duck Of The Dead Currently in pre-production, 'Ay up me duck of the dead' is a short film that follows two completely different personalities through a nightmare journey around the street of Nottingham city centre. Taking the zombie genre back to the days when they couldn't run or jump, the film faithfully recreates the atmosphere of impending doom, originally captured by the great George Romero in his earlier films. Cumilating in a zombie walk through the streets of Nottingham during October 2009, this is your chance to get involved in the biggest 'undead' event this year. If you live in the East Midlands and fancy lurching around early one weekend in September 2009, we're currently looking for zombies to play various roles in the short film ! Please email contactus@ayupmeduckofthedead.co.uk with your details or register on the website . http://www.ayupmeduckofthedead.co.uk/
'Hospital Resurrection' Tuesday 10th March, filming is gonna take place
at an abandoned, derelict hospital in Harold Wood, Romford. The story
is of a jock-like male character that breaks into said hospital with
his reluctant girl-friend, only to find the place inhabited by zombies.
For this we should have the former make-up artist from the Harry
Potter films, however we also need another make-up artist as well as
lots of zombie extras! I'm coming to you as we would prefer the
zombies to have their own costumes etc so they look comfortable in
their own skin. Please contact wazza88@aol.com
'Music Video Needs Zombies' I am in the early stages of pre-production for a music video where I
need around 100 zombies!!
The video is for a new and upcoming band called The Moscow
Underground, you can view them at http://www.themoscowunderground.com/ The video is a kind of homage to all the zombie films, past and
present. The band come on stage in an empty venue and slowly, but
surely the venue fills up with zombies all wanting to eat the band.
I'm looking to get the word out online as I know there are so many
ready and willing zombies out there to help out on something as cool
as this.
We are looking to film around the end of March and would need about 30
zombies for an early morning outside shoot for some '28 Days Later'
style exteriors and then between 70 and 100 for an afternoon / evening
shoot in a venue as they try and eat the band.
If you want any other information please email monkeyshoveler@gmail.com
'Un-named Zombie Comedy Web Series' Hi there, my name is Philip Mason, wannabe film maker from Sheffield. I am currently developing my first film project; a comedy zombie mini series. The initial plan is a series consisting of seven ten minute episodes uploaded online on its own site and you tube, with each episode updating monthly.
The basic premise; the story is told from the zombies perspective. You think they moan & groan? Oh no, they talk. Lee is very pissed off, not only has his dead best friend Mike just eaten him, but now it seems he's become a member of the vast walking dead. Follow the epic journey of these two ex best friends as they try to deal with love after death, gun wielding action heroes, the zombie apocalypse from the wrong side, and all the challenges life after death brings.
The project is very early in its infancy, just in the writing/scripting stages, so of course all this is subject to change. But have already got some support from; local film makers, an online comedy radio show again based locally, and Zombie Ed has even agreed to premier a few episodes at this years Zombiefest. Planning on starting filming in Spring when the better weather comes, filming locally around Sheffield & Derbyshire, hoping to get at least a few episodes completed in time for Zombiefest 2009, and then further episodes completed and uploaded on a month by month basis.
What I am after from all you lovely people is…anything; Any advice about filming or make up techniques? Yes please. Want to be an extra? Your more than welcome to join our horde. Or any help whatsoever for that matter. This is my first project, hoping to make it a good one, and most importantly, have fun while doing it.
For more information and to contact me, please drop an email in to: rabnarf@hotmail.co.uk
