zombie movie making took around ten of my hours last night, from getting made up (latex, crumpled tissue, loads of grey base with green, black, and purple highlights, powder and toothrot, later on further nastified with food-colored corn syrup blood and flecks of raw beef) at 5 to scrubbing off as much of it as i could (two showers later, there's still a lot left in my hair and forearms) until well past 3. all the time in between i got to lurch around like a sedated offkilter r2d2, sometimes venturing off set to find commonfolk to startle. of course i was sitting around doing nothing for ninety percent of the shoot, but it was lots of fun anyway. it didn't get really exciting until we moved from dupont to some secret rooms in parrish basement which had been completely made over into a zombie lair. martha, who was tagging along and helping out the crew, volunteered to play the recently killed human corpse during the "dinner" scene, which meant she got to lie there for about two hours with heaps of raw meat and fake blood on her bare stomach while we zombies crowded around slavering and ripped off pieces of meat to cram in our mouths. basically it was awesome. this film is going to be truly tremendous.
we needed a rest after that, so it's probably good that martha's alarm didn't go off in time for her early train. anyway, she's still here for now, so we get to do thom brunch and she can see a bit of rugby too. i'll catch ya later.
because the air outside will make
our cells divide at an alarming rate
