Zombie Mitcz

So, last week I spent a 2-day stint filming a TV pilot for a “sex zombie” show. The director, Steve Warner, has a way of sounding sarcastic and half-joking when he speaks, so I kinda thought he was kidding about it. Well, at least the “sex” part. Zombies are no joke.

Thankfully for me, he was totally serious. As these plots usually go, it’s regarding some uber-elite top Government scientist with his own private ultra-secret lab in Baja, Mexico. Inside this lab, he’s “engineered” zombies that spread the zombie disease via STDs and are effectively undead nymphomaniacs. The story revolves around local goth scene kids who go wandering caves in search of this elusive lab and bla bla bla they let the zombies out and …ya know, other stuff happens (it’s only a pilot, so I don’t know much beyond that). Helluva plot, no?

Steve’s an interesting character. One of those scatter-brained artist types who thinks at 1000 miles an hour and is always fidgeting and stopping every now and then to give you that “bright idea just popped into my head” wide-eyed stare that those scatter-brained artist types tend to get. This isn’t a bad trait to have, per se, it’s just interesting to watch other people get frustrated by his whimsical nature. On the plus side, he takes suggestions well and sometimes heralds other people’s ideas as pure genius, which makes you wonder how many steps ahead he was thinking when you made a wisecrack about something or other (which I tend to do, if you hadn’t noticed).

I would write some lengthy entry about the shooting process, the pitfalls and upshots and what-not, but I don’t really have that kind of time or energy right now and apparently everyone’s dying to see my zombie pics. So, here’s a few of them (annotated where applicable). And if you’d like to download my fancy “Zombie Mitcz” desktop picture, it’s available right over here

Step 1 : Apply body scars, rip up shirt and spatter blood..

Step 2 : Apply “undead” makeup to face and take a ridiculous picture…

Step 3 : Apply deep-seated scratch marks to face and snap a pic of the “zombie look”

A semi-closeup of the face scars..

A sorta blurry shot of the face scars..

Decided to bring my white-out contacts, and the look is complete!

A full-body shot. I provided my own warddrobe, hair color and contacts. For some reason, people think I look “really hot” here. I guess as long as I’m not “cute”, then it’s okay..

And, now, if you’d like to see a really high-res version of that last shot, check out the desktop images I made for it..
