The good news is: Got an awesome video camera.
The bad news is: Preferred venue is NOT available.
The good news: Managed to find a zombie horde.
The bad news: The horde can't make it to the alternative venue for filming.
The good: Have ALL the props in order
The bad: The other actor might not be free for filming...
Bad: No longer have the awesome video camera.
So the original script, is below - this has gone straight OUT THE DAMN WINDOW... hell I don't think any part of it was actually used....

But what we did film is actually available on youtube - very roughly chopped and put together of course. That can be found here....
Now... with everything going FUBAR.... I have no idea how to proceed next. The only good thing is that I've got a Nerf Game coming up... so I might be able to shoot this thing, going low tech, with cellphone cameras, with the horde, with the whole run and gun routine.
To salvage that footage, I either need to reshoot/rethink the ending for it and still somehow showcase winning. Or do a lot of close ups on "zombies" getting slaughtered up close, jerking as they get riddled with bullets and dropping, in a venue that is as similiar as possible to the coridoor used in this rough assignment and hope people don't notice the difference.... bloody hell... I'm not sure which is a longer shot at this point....
