First Film project was a success!

So yesterday I finished my first filmed project, a short film titled "I Am Infected: Jacob". The film was a part of a friends Not 1 Zombie film project, their goal is to make a film universe set in a zombie apocalypse but without showing a single zombie. The focus on the films is to highlight the real horror of zombie movies, to show how humanity is changed and how we transform to be just as monstrous in the face of such a foe. The I Am Infected videos are short films being filmed by fans of the project, putting a human face and a singular focus on individuals who find themselves infected with the zombie virus and with just hours to live. The video's are their final recordings, and it is moving and terrifying in its own.

I had a neat idea for a film, a lonely video blogger who's only friends and companions are the faceless masses of the internet. He becomes infected and wishes to show his "family" what the truth of the disease is, what it does to the body, and to warn them with his own demise. Secretly, its so he doesn't have to die alone. Being that this is a horror flick, it obviously ends poorly but I won't ruin it for you with it finalizes post-production!

When I arrived on the "set", I was under the impression this would be a simple filming. I didn't even bother memorizing y lines because this was supposed to be read from a computer with a webcam attached! Boy, was I in for a total shock. Andrew Valentine arrived shortly after me, a professional make-up artist struggling to rbeak into the buisness and someone who is passionate for the N1Z project had volunteered who whole professional-grade make-up kit to making me look amazing. Erick is a film major and production manager, working for Full Sail and ESPN who is also looking for his break out of it all brought all his equipment for lighting/sound/filming to make this a serious film project. Kyle took over directing when things escalated so quickly, and before long this was a fully functional movie set for my tiny film. I was so nervous!

More on the film later (most likely after War) but I will leave you with this screenshot!
