Zombies Invade Big Brother!

So this week my undead 'career' had another high point, as I had the fun of being part of the zombie invasion of Big Brother UK!

Last week I was offered the chance by my zombie family at Silent Studios to be part of 'something huge', but due to confidentiality agreements I had to sign on without knowing what it entailed, or turn it down.  Well I'd rather take the chance and maybe regret it later, so I signed on, had a 3 hour drive down to London (near enough), and found myself at the Big Brother compound at Elstree Studios! Sadly I wasn't able to get Tuesday off work, so wasn't part of the zombie mob which actually wake the housemates by banging on their windows, but I did feature elsewhere.

The premise of the invasion was that there'd been a viral outbreak in the BB compound, so on Friday they were filming some studio footage to go in a mock news report which was shown to the housemates after their undead awakening!

The link to the episode is below, and all of the zombie action takes place in the first 5 minutes or so, so you don't have to wait long for it!  In the broadcast you can see me eating someone's brains, looking confused at a signpost, and as the first zombie to attack the reporter :) Enjoy!

Cheers folks!

Zombie Photoshoot!

Well the Beyond Television series, Extreme Worlds, is edging ever closer to broadcast date. I still don't know exactly when it'll be hitting our screens, but I know it's in the editing stages at the moment.  A few weeks ago I was contacted by them asking if I could supply some still photos of me as a zombie for them to use in the episode.  Unfortunately seeing as I don't tend to be in a position whilst zombie-ing where I can take photos, I didn't have much to offer them.

So yesterday morning they got back in touch and asked if I had any more photos to give them. Sadly I didn't, but always after an excuse to dress up I got myself in full zombie makeup this afternoon and trundled down the road for a photoshoot. I wasn't too happy with the skin tone whilst in makeup, but once I got outside the sunlight bleached it to a fantastic colour, and I'm really pleased with the way these shots came out.
