When imagining the zombies for the film I wanted to be reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead. The makeup wasn't too extravagant but they still looked undead and I was going for that campy, b-movie look anyways.

Now me and Frankie know next to nothing about special effects makeup, and we didn't have the time or resources to figure how to do make our actors look like zombies. However, we did have a friend who does and she was gladly willing to help us which I was very thankful for. I told her what I was looking for and she sent me a design the day before shooting and it looked phenomenal.

On top of the design being incredible, the next day our makeup artist was able to do the same thing to multiple actors in under an hour which was very impressive.

If me or Frankie had to do it, I have no doubt it would have looked horrible. It just goes to show what having talented and committed people attached to your project can do. Along with being able to listen to your direction and bring your vision to life.
