It's the greatest time of the year! The weather is still at about 1,000 degrees, and it's SEPTEMBER. The orange tent (Halloween Express) has arrived in BG, and we've already been there twice. It's basically a sweat lodge with ghoulish things everywhere. We love it!
Isaac, our movie making genius, has been hard at work becoming a zombie. I've watched YouTube videos to better educate myself on the art of zombie making but should be an expert from the many hours I've invested into AMC's "The Walking Dead." (side note: I cannot wait until October 23. I don't think I've ever been that scared watching the season 6 finale) I noticed a Facebook post a few weeks ago about a film shoot in Bowling Green seeking 100 zombie extras. I immediately inquired asking if Isaac and I could be added to the list of extras. Isaac was super pumped about the opportunity. I knew it was any sort of major motion picture but still thought it would be a fun experience and something he and I could do together. The creative director wrote me back and said we'd been added to the list. We received periodic emails about the specifics of the event (titled
Remnant 13). The shoot was scheduled for last Saturday (Sept. 10). I was at a volleyball tournament with Karson in Columbia and was hopeful I might be home in time for the shoot. However, I didn't make it home and Matt had to take over in the zombie zone. I think he did a way better job than I would've done (and I had practiced twice with his make-up). I am responsible for the tattered, bloody shirt though =). The world's largest thunderstorm hit BG at the movie shoot call time at 5 PM. When they arrived on the set, it was kind of what I expected - a bit disorganized, a little bit hokey, and didn't resemble a Hollywood movie shoot. I think Isaac was kind of thinking it would. They were told they weren't ready for the "extras" and need to leave and come back at 6:45 PM. Isaac was in the mood for some
AZZIP pizza which is our new favorite place to eat. He got an 11" bacon and cheese pizza. After they ate, Matt said he was ready to go home. SO, they called it a night and headed to the house. I don't imagine he would've lasted long anyways. I'm proud of our little movie star!
