Back in the UK

I am glad to be back but the time away in Chile has made me work on my written work a lot more, the second draft of the story - which I thought I could not improve - I did! I added a few things here and there and noticed the smaller details as to which were not possible to do during filming but would be great in the story. I tried to make the story tie in as much as it can with the movie so people can relate and compare the two.
As for the script I felt that making a rough version was a good idea and I had a look a script online that of George A. Romero who directed the original Dawn of the Dead in 1978, this script of his was meant to be for the third Resident Evil but it did not get used which I feel is a great shame as I think it would make a better film. I made the script so that it is easy to read but (and this was obviously going to happen) I need to make the dialogue for complimentary, for this I need the help of friends in order to hear the characters lines through someone else's voice but mine.
The make up tests I did when I arrived back went very well, the blood looks very shiny which makes it look even more real, I smeared it around my mouth and hands and for the small touch ups I poured a small amount of black food dye in my mouth and dabbed a small bit around my eyes. The effect is has is amazing, the blood dye in the mouth shows oxide blood, when blood gets a lot of oxygen it starts to go 'old' so to speak, the colour changes to be more darker.
The top I was using in the make up tests was an old top, I ripped off the sleeves and splattered the blood mixture on the item of clothing. I messed up my hair so it is not neat and tidy but messy and untamed. Once I was in the right character I made some stances in which a zombie would make and my friend Michael Skinner took pictures of me.
The test went extremely well and it was the exact effect I was looking for and I am very pleased I achieved this on the first attempt, I really doubt this could have gone any better.
