Zombie Film Pre-production - Need Help!

[🪦 3pidemiC ●]

Hey guys,

As some of you may know, I just wrapped up the script for a zombie film that me and a group of friends are making. This is going to be low-budget, but I am going to personally make sure that it doesn\'t look like crap. It is called "Days End". I can send any of you the script once it has been checked over and proofread by my partner. We are planning on shooting it in spring, so right now...we need to prepare. This is pre-production stuff that I need to take care of. And that is where you guys come in! I know that at least a few of your have done something like this and know a little bit or two about special effects. So, here are some things that I am looking for:

• A recipe to create realistic fake blood that is safe to consume and is not damaging to hair.
  
• Special effects techniques to create realistic zombie biting (complete with blood n\' gore)
  
• Gunshot hit techniques.
  
• Zombie makeup techniques.
  
• "Devastated-looking" areas
  
• Blood and Gore techniques.
  
• Zombie-feasting techniques.
  
• Anything else that you think I should know.
  

I would appreciate any help that I can get for this. If you do give me some help that I can use, I will make sure to give you credit for it. Also, if there are any people that live in Michigan that would like a role (character/extra/zombie), then please let me know, we could definitely use the help!

Thanks.
