Front or the back I think, I don’t think it really mattered because it was the same cut through the neck, of the spinal - the top of the spinal cord, just saying that the blades will cut through the bones that way. |

For that particular scene that you’re talking about I did because we did that during the re-shoots and uhm I had it on so for time it didn’t make sense to take it off just to put the under mask on cause uh for people don’t know I had the regular full prosthetic for the face reveal uh and normally on the other days when we’d shoot I have the uh like ? on my face and my face would be open here and I have like a prosthetic eye on but all this would be open so I could breath better and move around better and also it cut down the application time of the prosthetics, the full face was about 4 hours and the just the ? with the hockey mask was about an hour and a half to do. |

Breathing might be, I don’t know its really overrated (talks) there was a lot of physical activity on set, I did a lot of training a head of time to be prepared for the role (talks) I did a lot of being that Jason was or is a hunter living in the woods by himself we were talking about uh originally do you want me to put size on him get him bigger and there like no we want him to be function, he’s big but he’s lean you know, he’s a normal guy, he’s not like a super slow moving Zombie. And so uhm with that in mind I did something called cross fit, uh a website called crossfit.com where they say it’s the different work outs there you get the explosiveness of a weightlifter, the strength and the agility of a gymnast and the endurance of a runner. And its crazy, crazy workouts. I thought I was in shape you know cause I always try to stay in shape in general but looking at some of the athletes on that site I’m like uh ok I got a thing or two to learn from these guys, these guys are talents. |

You know the hardest through in the scene it was cut down when we shot it was much longer uh Travis Van Winkle there’s a scene, not to go into details about it but I’m holding Travis uh Travis and I’m just muscling him and Travis is about, I’m 230 and he’s about 180 or so and I’m holding him the air and as were shooting Marcus is never yelling cut, shake him more, lift him higher into the air, no no no, find the lens and I’m sitting there and the whole time why this is happening its not like you just have a barbell that weighs that much that would be so easy as I’m doing this Travis is struggling the same time so everythings moving and I’m trying to balance and we’re like going so many minutes like I took five minutes another shot and were both like (breathing) and Travis is like mumbling “is he still rolling, are we still fighting?” “yeah we’re still fighting” “Ok keep fighting”. Uh and then after that you know cut ok lets do another take. Can I breath a little bit? Unbelievable. |
