Make up Dept. RULES!!



We are chugging along on our exterior location. I wanted to give a kudos to our make-up dept. and our zombie volunteers. These people sit for hours waiting for when the 2nd AD comes over and picks them for their shot. This sometimes can take 8 hours! You guys are the best and THANKS from 'The Killing Strain' staff.

Also I must mention the great job that our make-up staff is doing. I've worked with Cynthia Hancevic for about 15 years and never knew she had special fx skills at this level. She started as our make up artist for our regular cast and when our SFX make up had to pull off the job she stepped in and made it happen. Then one of our zombies Dorothy Wilson told us she had trained in special fx make up and would help out she went way beyond what we expected. Then Gordon Wise cautiously checked us out and agreed to help us a little WOW he as well stepped up way beyond expectations. Gordon runs one of the most successful and long lived (20 years) haunted houses in Texas 'Nightmare on Grayson' and took time off to join the team in working tirelessly in making up zombies. These virus infected zombies came in all sizes, but the team worked to get them ready to be on screen sometimes working through lunch.
THANK YOU MAKE UP DEPARTMENT!!!
