Research and Planning - The Walking Dead behind the scenes

So I was just watching The Walking Dead behind scenes as I love the programme and I know it's genre is similar suited to what I want to do, apart from the fact it's a bit more gruesome - and I came across something I could use for my research.  Some of the make-up we won't be able to access as we're not trying to make it 'too gruesome' due to our age certificate, but we could do something less "full-on" and use similar ideas.

These are only short clips :)



I liked the idea of them using simple nylon stockings and creating sacks and just rolling it in fake blood and using some kind of sausage meat to create this meaty effect and organs.  It's a simple way to create something that looks so effective and we would be able to achieve this due to our low budgeting circumstances.





At 0:49 it shows the actor cutting into  a cardboard box for a sound effect, which I love.  This is a simple way to create a tearing sound if it was needed for our trailer, but it can always be used for reference.  It's cheap and effective, smiles all round!





In this video I liked the idea of the woman saying that the longer they're dead affects how the costume looks like.  They need to be more dirty etc depending on how infected they are.
