And we’re back in Monson Road in New Cross again. We completely shut down the road around the Duke Of Albany pub while shooting this scene.
One of the reasons we chose the Duke Of Albany is because it had a park opposite it. Within this we constructed the fence matching the one in Northumberland Road in Barnet. That location is 15 miles away north of the river. So when Shaun is climbing the children’s slide to look over the fence, it’s a huge jump from North to South London.
We had to shoot the crane shot with the zombies outside the pub on this day. This was a herculean effort on the part of the make up and costume team getting close to 200 zombies ready on not a big budget.
So at the very back of the shot, we drafted in some of the local kids who had previously thrown objects at the crew. They were very enthusiastic to be in the movie. Zombies: Bringing people together.
