Make-up/sfx question

[hesh]

Im fleshing out the script on an urban (innercity) zombie film. Think Candyman meets NOTLD as far as atmosphere/premise. I was wondering if its easier or harder to do zombie make-up on black people. Any advice or links would be appreciated.

Nope. Just different color base as there would be for any ethnic group.

Here is a link with one look for you.

You might want to take a look at a film called Omega man from the 1970's. It starred Charleton Heston. The African American "Vampires" in that had a look that could work for what you're doing as well.

Cheers!
