‘Shaun of the Dead’ Photo-a-day / Shoot Day 22 / June 4th, 2003

Still in the gardens. And above you can see a couple of gags that we did not manage to shoot. There was another sequence where the gang ran through peoples gardens and saw a hanged man in and another dead body face down in a paddling pool while his dog scampered around trying to revive him. The dog was to be played by Ada who plays Colin in ‘Spaced’. Alas, we ran out of time and got neither.

We did however film this scene where they impersonate the trapped ‘Pyjama Zombie’ rather splendidly played by Nick Ewan, above.

This is on the out-takes on the DVD, but a genuine case of Simon and Nick making each other laugh in the middle of the zombie impression scene.

I love this dopple-shot. You can see Simon in the foreground and his trampoline double in the back.

    Having just rewatched the outtakes after reading these diaries and all the time constraints you were under, I can see why you sound so annoyed while Simon and Nick are laughing!
