Great AVZ Book Cover and Trailer Shoot Today

It was a great day for shooting the book cover and the book trailer video for The AMISH vs. The ZOMBIES. All went smoothly and quickly. And we went through a quart of stage blood.

Anna (Hannah Stroval) and Hezekiah (the zombie) for the book's trailer.

We began with the zombie makeup session at 6 a.m. and were done by 7:30. The shoot began at 8 a.m. on location at a barn in Clark County where we shot both cover stills and trailer video footage.

We then moved to Ft. Vancouver and shot some beautiful footage on the porch of the Chief Factor's house. From there we went to the Ridgefiled Library for a quick, short shot (one take).

The last official shot of the day was a barn interior (three takes) then a pick up shot back at the original barn's exterior to assure coverage. We were done by noon and I am very please with the stills and the video.

Thank you Anna, Hezekiah and Isaiah; Ruth, Elijah and Benjamin, too!

I'll be creating the cover art over the next three days. Then I have a week's vacation. When I get back I'll be working on the final print proof and editing the trailer (which should be done two weeks before the book launch on June 21).
