What happens when you have lost key actors and trouble finding critical locations for your series of short zombies films? What to do when you have a a bunch of zombies laying around like teamsters? You put these mindless wonders to work by writing a new script, calling in a few favors and use your obtainable location... my house.

I (the collective I) am making a short film about the ordinary life of a Diablo 3 Witch Doctor tomorrow. I am a gamer and love this game. I think this is a great exercise in making what you like and using what you have. The 2 lbs of chicken feet are currently in the dehydrator. You can't have a witch doctor without chicken feet! The costume was made last night by local and super talented drag queen friend with a few odds and ends laying around her house. The skeleton (Lloyd) is mine and resides in my dining room.

More of the story in a day or so.

Your persistence to tell whatever story you can is admirable. We all have to work within the limitations we are provided. Good luck!
 
Sorry, I forgot about this thread. That's what clients and family will do to your leisure time.

I finished the short film. Many hiccups in this production. Imagine a phone call at 11:30 pm (the night before the shoot) from my original witch doctor cancelling due to a medical emergency. Luckily I found my main actor with 7 hours to spare before the next morning shoot. The production took a half of a day. My replacement actor was on a very strict time limit. We did pick-up shots of the dog and hot sauce two weeks later after the hot sauce bottles shipped from the company. I figured a product tie-in would be nice. Hope this turns into more productions in the near future.

There are a few flaws I know. I accept this fact because I had so much fun making this short film. I hope you enjoy.
