Hey folks, recently we did an interview with Erie, Pennsylvania based Corey of The Midnight Podcast, an all-zombies weekly show about – zombies. Corey has since been added as a commentator on several other series podcasts about horror to be the official zombie newsman. Sit back and enjoy the cast:
Well, folks, the fun never stops here. We have had two crazy weekends of shooting, with six scenes shot and one episode all finished. Now it is off to be edited and the journey to the web shall be complete.
It hasn’t been without issue, both good and bad. I think I will focus on the good to begin with.
Well, Rachel Tharp, aka The Oubliette, has taken on make up duties with her boyfriend Preston at her side. Their work has been amazing, to say the least, and it just keeps making The Last Stand better and better. Wow, did I just mention that there are zombies in episode 2? I think I did! Holy crap, there are zombies in episode 2. Now you have something to look forward to. Let the goo begin.
We locked in some of our big locations, so we rest easy knowing we have those little buggers out of the way. To catch you up, we have secured The Cotton Club, a 1930′s jazz club that has been shut down for decades. As well, we are solid on shooting in The Lotus, a 1920′s hotel that is condemned due to earthquakes will drop it. We get to run and jump and shoot stuff in there. Some more locations are needed, but our biggies are set.
Today, our audio issues couldn’t have been any worse I don’t think. Everything short of real gunfire could be heard. Apparently, Sunday morning is a good time to do heavy construction and train rail repair. Coupled with an increased volume of air travel, geese flying over head, and a band of blind folded Tibetan minstrels being all at peace with nature by ringing a brass bells and hiking up the hill, it made for an audio extravaganza. Yeah Audio!
OK, the compositing should go better!
Yes, that’s right. More Guns! We got a run on painting all of our fake weapons, making them look as real as possible for filming. I am excited about how they look and how they are going to work for our scenes. All in total, we have 30 firearms between pistols, shotguns, and rifles.
More on buildings: we found and got locked into The Cotton Club in North Portland, an old jazz club in the 30’s, and shut down in the 90’s. The place is amazing, inside and out. It is tremendous to be able to film in such historic places. Also, what seems to be an old saw mill on the river has turned into a great place for exterior shots. Majorly cool!
It is all coming together!
Filming of four scenes during the weekend, so most of episode 2 is done and should be editing after next weekend. Yeah! 
Sorry it has been a while since I posted on here. I have been keeping up with posts on my web series blog at The Last Stand and haven’t kept the GSP followers well informed. Hopefully some of you have followed me over to TLS and are hanging out there, watching our progress.
Here it is: Conceived in 5 minutes; written in two hours; scouted/props/crew/actors in less than 24 hours; filmed in about 3 hours. This is as quick and dirty as anything I could imagine and still would want people to see.
When scouting for a different project, myself and Stephanie (one of the actors) found out this location was due for demolishing any day. After we scrambled to throw something together, 3 out of the 4 buildings had been bull dozed into rubble, leaving only this one standing. Literally, this buildings last stand.
Many folks didn’t show for the shoot, equipment never made it, and we raced against the light to do this with the skeleton bunch we had. All in all, I think it turned out pretty good!
