Filming: Day 1

Today's filming went pretty well, we completed quite a few shots, but we faced a few problems in the beginning.
We asked quite a few people to come along to the event and recieved quite a few "maybe's" but in the end we only had two zombies arrive, and ended up having to drag our Potterhead Nerd Tayla to drag her brother along as he was nearby. Due to the lack of people, we decided to do something similar to what the Foo Fighters did in their Learning To Fly music video where the band plays everyone in the video. We have Micheal and Ethan playing the two main zombies while Peta, Tayla, Matt and I constantly change between Nerd and Zombie. Tomorrow we may have 2 more zombies, but I am not too sure.
We have filmed almost all of the scenes where there is one-on-one battle between Zombies and Nerds. We started off with Tayla in her Harry Potter cosplay, then Peta in her 11th Doctor cosplay. We got majority of My scenes done, but have a couple left, so we are doing thoses and all of Matt's ones tomorrow.
It is going to be a little tricky to do the shots where we have multiple Nerds and Zombies, due to our lack of numbers, but we should be fine.
We also forgot to put the glasses on Peta and I's characters, so that's a little dilemma. But the glasses aren't too important. We'll just make sure that Tayla keeps hers on and Matt wears his.
Also, as Millie didn't send us her shot list before the film date, I had to write up a quick end scene shot list on the way to filming. Shae is writing up the first scene's shot list as well tonight, but we won't need it until tomorrow.
The way that we are dealing with the filming means that it will take a little longer than expected, but we should be able to get it done... Hopefully.

We do have images from the production, but I am currently unable to post them, so they will be up on a later date.
