I NEED HELP THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Aug. 16TH FROM 6:30pm to 11:00pm.  Contact me, Geoff Lafayette at GeoffBatman@... if you can help. No experience necessary.

We will be shooting in and around Tenny Park, Madison, WI. 

################################################################

  Our first rehearsal was on Saturday, late afternoon at my house near Tenny Park.  In this scene three sewer workers traversing the Madison sewers in a canoe are attacked by a giant crab who Gard's the entrance to the Hidden Space Alien City!  Sean Bode plays the gruff ex-special forces sanitation worker, "Stinky," and carries a harpoon gun.  Scott Treinen plays the Foreman of the expedition, "Bosco," and there is nothing in the sewers he can't fix.  Clarice Lafayette plays  Delila the "go to girl" who wants Boscos job!

   This rehearsal went so well with the help of Assistant Director Les Stephany, we decided to skip Wed rehearsal and meet early for Saturday's shoot-- 6:30pm.

 

SATURDAY NIGHT SHOOTING BEGAN!  After dinner Sean Bode and I decided to shoot the crab claw rising from the water at the Tenny Park Beach!  Its made of styro-foam to keep it light (it's still very heavy), but what I didn't realize is it is virtually impossible to sink!  So, Sean and I are tying to get some shots and I'm in the water and Sean is up on a picnic table with the camera trying to shoot this giant claw and it is not working very well.

   Then a group of people comes up in the dark and asks us what we are doing.  And I tell them!  Well, they offer to help and with in two minutes, we have 4 new cast members up to their necks in Lake Mendota helping me move the claw around an we get our shot!  So, a big thank you goes out to Grant Zoch, Tony Weber, Siobhan Beau, and K. D. Reeve!

 

And finally, the new ZVA: ZOMBIE VS. ALIENS bumper stickers are in!  Every Cast and crew member gets one so look for them when you're stuck in traffic!
