Pirahna Suction

The kind lads at Ausvac have donated me this bagless vac which actually works (don't let the boss know that). Now the window is only small and it's clouded which sucks.. but if i shine a bit of light through it we should be able to see the red blood, or at the very least we'll see something splat against the window. Something i didn't think about is the exhaust, which comes straight out the back. This could work out good as i might be able to get blood and brain chunks to shoot out the back, if i can hollow out all the filters that is. And since these vacs aren't made for liquid/blood it probably won't work twice.. so that means no test runs. I might have to take it apart and see if i can shield the motor somehow so it doesn't get soaked. As it is the vac runs like a 4 cylinder with exhaust problems, i've never heard a vacuum cleaner backfire before, it sounds tough, for a vacuum (if thats possible).

In other news my make up artist has handballed the job, so i'm yet to find out who is doing it.. Serenity now.......F@*#¿♪@

Talking with Fiona today however was a huge help. Even if i don't have an artist yet i have a general idea of how i'm to do everything, and what to use. Now i've got a big list of ingredients to buy though.. I'll just call it my Zombie Recipe (if i was a nick i'd draw me mixing up some zombies but i can't draw so use your damn imagination).

Tomorrow i shall try to find some food aka catering for the shoot days, which are all over dinnertime so i'll try to get a few different types of food, it's nice in theory so lets hope it works.

As far as actors go i've been trying to track down an actor who was in a 2004 Adv Maps film called 'Suburban Hitler'. His name is Maris Caune and he looks like my Gary character. Typing his name in google i found a Aussie actor named Maris J Caune who has been in a few feature films now and has recently directed a Theatre production. I don't know if this means he's gone past the student film days or not, but i'll definately keep trying.
