Today Josiah and I went over to the make-up campus to meet our make-up artist Jalil and to test out some looks for the zombies in ‘Picky Eaters.’ Turns out that Jalil hadn’t brought a model so I stepped up to do my part for the movie – yes, I’m an all-round AD. I’ve never gotten special make-up done by someone before so it was pretty cool.

We tried a couple different ways to do zombie – the first half we did an airbrushed blue/grey look with red lips. This’ll be the look for ‘Mother.’ It was really weird getting my eyebrows waxed over so they went solid. My eyes looked pretty awesome though! The second half we did I got a prosthetic eyebrow made from wax and latex which was cool but uncomfortable. Then we did an airbrushed green on me, topped up with extra thick black eye paint and black lips. It looked creepy but it was really hard to move the facial muscles so probably not best option.

So we decided on doing the blue side for all of the zombies – with red lips for Mother and black lips for the guys. It was way more comfortable and looked subtle enough so the zombies will be able to act completely ‘normal and human’ – minimal gore. The bitch was getting everything off ’cause it was really sticky, and hey, wax. I now know that it is very important to appreciate a clean face!!

Once we were finished up Josiah bought me food as we looked over blocking formations for each scene. I’m super excited about going to camera as we’ve got a full crew and are basically ready to go. Just waiting to lock in location as our backup fell through. Can’t wait to see all 4 of our zombies lined up
Am now writing up a whole bunch of contracts and agreements for work. My boss said he has ‘a present’ for me which can only be $$$ right? So I’ve got a meeting tomorrow and can hand over all the stuff I’ve done. It’s hilarious as technically I feel underqualified for the job, but then when doing it, I actually know what I’m doing and seem intelligent – woo! Anyway time to go over some more stuff for Picky Eaters & DSH.










I’m shocked that I have been able to get this far – signing up to Word Press, making no less than 3 pages (about, credits, resume) and now posting a blog…and changing my theme! This from the girl who is technically and website-ly incompetent. I am mostly surprised because I have been on set shooting a TV show all day and am so tired I can’t actually think straight. Yet here I am, trying to create a blog for myself – mostly because it’s an assignment for a class I have, but now I’m kind of getting into it! Anyway, I’m also waiting for a shot list to be sent to me, and as I can’t sleep I thought that I should do something productive. Whether or not me rambling falls into this category I have yet to decide.
