I mean, they did Whose Line is it Anyway, and Have I Got News For You, and Room 101 and all sorts.

Oh yeah, Whose Line Rules Just watching it now on five us. I also love Have I Got News For You and Room 101. I check out there site now.

The third episode is up, it's pretty nifty. I like the 'next week on Bryony makes a movie' thingy they have now, I hope they keep that up.

Just watched the new episode, did think earlier ah Tuesday new episodes on today, must watch.

Think were on the right track everything that Bryony & company said had to be in a zombie film has a place in the plot at the moment., least it seems so ( don't quote me )

Kind of cool to see Bryony as a reporter, wait to see what the next episode brings, zombie carnage or something like that.

can't wait till friday to see what happened at the zombie walk.

Yes, it should be pretty fun to see that. I liked Bryony's hair in that short clip XD She does look rather reportery persony. I'm guessing that next tuesday will either be about the man that Bryony met in the graveyard or about something thats come out of the zombie walk event. Random guesswork here XD

Some stuff I shot behind the scenes at the Zombie Walk on Saturday.

That was cool James, first glimpse of the film, well be it Bryony as a reporter but never the less that would make part of a good teaser trailer, shots of kids doing happy chomping, voice over saying about the happy chomping but now its something more than kids having fun, something is out there, shots of zombies making their way through the streets, end with shot of reporter getting attacked.

Just an idea, don't have to follow it up just thinking if we did trailers that be a good one, doubt we'd need trailers though.

Haha looked fun! Wish I was there ¬_¬

Good work, James. I really liked everything you shot and how you edited it together. The third webisode is up on the BBC's youtube account. Click this link to check it out if you don't live within Europe.

i just saw it and i am pretty amzed at the time the media is spending on it they must really seem interested in what we are doing

Thanks guys.
The shots of the zombie attacking Bryony were edited from three different takes and at the point of zombie attack I ramped up the speed so that the zombie seems to lunge very quickly towards his vicitim.
Since then I have put together a sequence that we can fit around that shot so that we can give it more of an introduction rahter than a sudden clip that's over before it begins.

I've been thinking of the trailer/title sequence also and am very much looking forward to attending Zombiefest where I plan to shoot a raft of material that could be used throughout the narrative.

The call has gone out for actors so....we're up and running.

FYI: The BBC 3 documentary is also available at YouTube. They have code for an embeddable player there for those interested in adding it to a website or blog. This is what it looks like:



Webisodes are posted on the YouTube playlist about two days after they appear on the BBC 3 IZM website. The player then automatically updates.

The Zombisode 25 cannot be viewed in America. If one tries to view it one gets the error message, "This video is not available in your country."

Zombisode 25: Bryony Matthewman and the Temple of Doom - Bryony (Paperlilies) Makes a Zombie Movie - BBC Three

There should be away around this - if anyone really wants to watch it at the minute then pick up an IP blocker like Hotspot Shield.
Hopefully we'll find another method embedding it or hosting it elsewhere. Anyone wanna have a pop at that?

The video now plays here in the US via the playlist and in the player above. Should have gotten a screen capture for the record. Oh well, maybe next time. It may be that it was added to the playlist or I viewed it earlier than usual.
