Going outside

We are now shooting exteriors. Here is some of the behind the scenes of how we spent our days off (lol) of shooting. Max is his usual great self as Production designer making the set look cool. Our AD's pulled off small miracles and we're chugging along.

Interior Location now Zombies!

We're grinding along and experienced our second power outage and something that we weren't quite sure about fell from the heavens (rain) we haven't seen rain in months.
Our interior location is winding down and getting ready to get over to our exterior location. The next three days we are trying to shoot out all the interior stuff and it will make for our longest days/nights yet. Yes we're transitioning over to nights for the last part of the interior location shoot. Then with 3 days off we will start shooting the exterior location. Then we will have our big zombie days. I'm going to try to get over there when Max Valencia (set builder) is working on the facade. We have to build the front door to match the interior. Stay tuned!!

Interior location has begun

Max and Cynthia have done a great job prepping the interior and we've started principal photography on 'The Killing Strain' I'm really impressed with our cast and crew. The heat has been an issue. On our first day of shooting we had about a 20 min. power outage. But through it all we are moving into the next week. Our director of photography and gaffer (Ron Zimmerman and Phil Curry) have pulled off wonderful pictures. Add the acting abilities of our cast and MAN this film looks GREAT!! Check out our behind the scenes video of the first day of production.

Interior Location

Well we've begun and the biggest problem we have is the HEAT it's been over 100 degrees every day and the old house is and oven. I've got a stand alone air cond and fans but it can't keep up I've included another episode of the behind the scenes on prep of the old house, enjoy. In this episode we features some of the builds that Max Valencia did. Max is a set builder friend of ours that is helping out. We also talk to Cynthia Test who is dressing the place, I think you'll find her work cool. Will check in later with the first day BTS.
