So far we have 5 main characters and am looking for extras for zombies. We have lots of real guns, but little blanks so expect lots of CGI muzzle flashes . I have a good video editor and people who know how to use them, so editing will be decent. We have a decent budget since a few people on the team have jobs, so we can buy lots of corn syrup and red dye (a must for a zombie movie is BLOOD). We need a decent camera, the hand cam we have can only allow us nothing more than a crappy "Clover Field" style rip off.

The basic story was written by me in 20 minutes during a study hall, but someone else wrote a script out of it which I still have to read and revise.

Zombie makeup will be hard to get but we'll figure it out.

I'm very pleased with the story, and the ending is cool (I'm the last one alive in the story, yay!)

I'll try to make a dvd out of it, or send you a copy to download on the net so you can watch it. But first, I have to make it.

Two things worry me though. Acting and gun handling. Most of the people I'm working with on the movie aren't very good with guns (except one who is airforced trained, but don't ask me how since he's 16 ), and some parents won't let their kids use real guns, so I have to give them airsoft guns (which I hate doing). Also, even MY acting is a little wooden.

I know I'm taking this too seriously, but I wanted to show this to some people who could get me a better chance at becoming a film director.

Any Estimated time it will be done? In september ill be getting a new gun too. Looking at a savage weather warrior. Something about firing .308, .243, .260 (my fav, but expensive) and .22-250 (cyotes,unlimited bag, year round) in the same gun appeals to me.

You going to make sure obscure/classic guns get used? Like your nongun broomhandle?

I don't mean to change the subject, but...does this mean that I'm the only person on here who hasn't been planning for the zombies?

I haven't read the script yet or changed it, so an estimated time is almost impossible to determine now. At least an hour I'd go for.

I haven't been planning but I'm prepared naturally.

Oh. Well, I seem to be one of the few people in the gun-owning community who doesn't see much to fear from the UN. Preparing for those guys seems rather unnecessary, given their impotence against even the most rag-tag militias in Africa.

Why do you think I play Resident Evil and watch all the zombie movies? Training!

Gunmaster, Im saying zombies that are people gone crazy de to a chemical or disease or something are feasible, Yo could even make the feral humans slow by saying that the disease impairs motor functions or something, and maybe they dont eat people , just kill them, seeing them as a threat since they're different? You should just try to be as original as possible. I have a scenario I like, Ill post it soon. BTW, you going to make sure the c96 gets its first zombie movie role? And make sure some wheelguns are used? I LOVE wheelguns and want to see them in action more

I think of a new zombie plot at least once a month, but I do not have the means to make a movie. Also, are you sure it's a smart idea to be shooting real/realistic looking guns at all your friends? How "sanctioned" are you for this?
