[drapeama]

Let me know where i'll be able to buy a DVD of your movie!

[azmyth]

You got it!

[heartben]

im curious - is this going to be uploaded so everyone can see or is it going to be one of those buy a dvd or pay for a code type situations? just curious!

[drapeama]

I'm up to buy the DVD, first to support Azmyth and especially because it really looks cool! heheh

[heartben]

i will probably buy it too (if itll even be made into a dvd - i cant recall), just thought it was worth asking :-)

[azmyth]

If I have my way you'll be able to watch in on netflix/buy the DVD online.

I've got a contact with Tempe Distribution, Brain Damage Films and the Distro division of Lionsgate. /crosses fingers.

We are hitting the horror film fest circuit before all of that though, and we might do a short run ourselves for people who have been patiently waiting.

Oh...you got relations! loll
that's nice knowing someone from LionsGate, that's something!

[azmyth]

I've learned more than anything else.. Networking is more important than anything else.

I've met people in the industry in the oddest places, but I'm glad I did.. and every day I try to meet even more people. You never know.

Few more BTS shots to share. This was from this past weekend. We didn't have our O-mazing photographer on set because his dad passed away during the week, these were taken by my wife on her blackberry. We did have someone taking photos, but I don't have them in hand yet!



Our EMT's were practicing loading up our body double. She had to lay under a sheet the entire time.

[Almohada]

Wow those shots look great!

[azmyth]

i'm gonna see if i can upload some BTS video from this shoot later tonight, we didn't get much.. but it was such a cool shoot.

[SilverEvolver]

This is looking awesome! Me and some frends are planning on making a 5 episode series each 15 minutes long, also about zombies! The slow old school ones.. don't see too many of those anymore :P

Nice work!

[azmyth]

BTW in case anyone wondered, thats IS a real body bag laying on the ground. We were going to use it, but it was just too stinking hot lol. We didn't want any "real" casualties.

[heartben]

Stoked!

[azmyth]

The BTS video clips will have to wait til later this weekend. I let someone borrow my only firewire cable, and the other one is with my camera which isn't here lol.

[azmyth]

Here's a BTS photo of one of the most annoying shoots ever. We changed this setup about 10 times before we got rid of all the reflections.

[azmyth]

Last nights shoot was the most hectic day ever. Everything that could go wrong did..
The night before, one of my actors called in sick. She confirmed she wasn't coming the next morning so I had to rework the schedule to shoot around her. Then, the location we were using called and said they had a water line bust and they were going to be tied up repairing that all day and it was a mess, so they didn't want us to be there that day. So I pulled some strings and found us another location to shoot at. It took almost all day to notify everyone of the change, including extras/cast and crew. By the time we were all meeting up, the weather got bad.. and our 2nd location was outside. So, we had to find a 3rd location. Luckily one of our crew members had a large covered area at his house that he said we could use. So, we spent the next half hour all on our phones calling everyone we could to tell them not to go to the 2nd location. Finally we had everyone and did a 15 car caravan to the 3rd location 10 minutes away. By the time we got there, the rain had nearly stopped but the area was perfect for what we wanted to shoot. The only issue we had was that this location was not controlled (by us) and we had to deal with alot of random people. Which in itself wasn't bad, but I just don't like having anyone on set who is not either the location owner, or US. People were calling their friends and saying "Hey, come over here.. they are shooting a movie over here.. OMG!!!". And, yeah.. thats how it happens. Anyway, we did wind up getting all the shots we needed.. and here are some set photos.

[drapeama]

Wow i definitively want to watch/buy your movie when it's done!
If you can include some BTS footage/slideshow to the whole DVD/BD that would be awsome!
Keep up your good work Az!

[azmyth]

Yeah, we plan to. I love BTS and "making of" stuff.

Fantastic Project, while I am not a fan of zombie films in the slightest, still expect a sale as support for the low budget filmmaker is always a good cause (Y). I will watch it aswell though more for a critical experience rather then an entertaining one

[azmyth]

Hopefully this one will be slightly different that what is the "norm" for these kind of movies. Thanks for the support! It means alot!

[paperkut12]

How about a commentary? I think that would be great hearing about how you went about making this indie flick, I know I would be interested.

[drapeama]

How about a commentary?

Every good movie made by a good director need a commentary track!

[azmyth]

lol sure, our probably will be more comedic than "interesting" alot of funny and weird stuff has happened during this production.

I'm about to post a few stills from the crime scene we shot last weekend.

[azmyth]

I posted a few BTS shots of this the other day, but here are some stills.
