Makeup time for a “Standard Zombie” on Z Nation is about an hour and a half.
Extras that play Z’s get to do their own cleanup.
“Hero Zombies” take longer due to prosthetics – anywhere from 3 to 5 hours!
Extras LOVE playing Hero Zombies because it usually means better camera time, and the hair and makeup crew will help on the cleanup!Jason Jakober (one of our regular zombie extras) has some GREAT photos of the process of removing Hero Zombie prosthetics after a shoot.
