Our summer video shoot schedule is slowly drawing to a close, only 3 big days left for Extras, two of which are this weekend.
Saturday, July 17th, will be a ZOMBIE day. We need to film “b-roll” scenes that will be used as part of the news broadcast. This will involve zombie make-up by Arvin Clay, and a lot of traveling around to get footage of zombies attacking various locations in our beloved city. We plan to be filming for most of the day with production starting at 10 am, a break for lunch, and continuing into the afternoon. Extras will be rotating in and out for variety, so if you would like to be a zombie in one of those scenes, it will not be necessary for you to stay for the entire day.) Please remember to RSVP with us so we know to expect you and when.
Sunday, July 18th, will be a HUMAN day. We require as many humans as possible to fill a small area in Oakland, in the vicinity of the Cathedral of Learning. This will involve a large crowd of bedraggled-looking refugees escaping to the relative safety of a military-controlled blockade. The meat of this scene has already been filmed, but we will be taking establishing shots to illustrate the size of the crowd.
UPDATE ON SUNDAY: for human scene this Sunday, all extras please report at 1:30pm next to the big stairs at the Cathedral of Learning (pitt campus) on the Bigelow side, ie outside. Our numbers are still not what one would define as a “mob” so if you have any friends you wish to bring along please do, just give us a heads up so we have an accurate head count!
Interested? Contact jill@thezombieopera.com (our “zombie-wrangler”) and visit the Extras on Film of our website to see our list of needs and expectations.
PS: we are also accepting any suggestions for locations, local businesses, landmarks, etc, to feature on Saturday that symbolize what you like, remember, or think of when you hear the word “Pittsburgh”. Please send any suggestions to barry@thezombieopera.com
