ZOMBIE MAKEUP TEST
So here’s my test set for the zombies. The director wants subtle but we also want to know there’s something messed up about these things. We don’t want to mistake the zombies for a throng of angry Portland drunks right?
So, I’m focusing on eye and mouth area hemorrhaging. The eyes and lips have very thin skin and you’ll see bruising there first, the same with the ears though there’s not a lot of blood flow here. I’m also shadowing the cheeks and highlighting the bones of the face. I don’t know how far Martin wants to go with that.
The black goop should come from the mouth and nose. Black vomit is a sign you’re bleeding from your stomach and is an exclamation point on the sign that reads “you’re going to die soon”.
It’s 2:30 am and I have to be at a shoot at 7 am. I’m, how do you say, “fooked”. Time for some scant shut-eye. More to come!
