Behind the Scenes of CCC16’s Trailer Shoot!

21/07/2016 by

Last Monday July 18, the filming for this year’s Cyprus Comic Con official trailer was completed!

Cosplayers, zombies and innocent passersby all contributed to the insanely fun teaser video to be unleashed very soon on to the web as well as your local cinema!

We were there to capture some of backstage craziness to give you a taste of what to expect!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Shield-maiden Lagertha and Death prepare to fight it off, but not before doing a few cute poses for our camera.

Special FX artist Rakis Georgiou created this incredible zombie makeup on our very own Nick Aristides.

Thor himself took a break from shooting his upcoming movie and visited our shoot location to take some photos with his zombie fans and to make fun of everyone for not being able to lift his hammer.

And look who else got to visit our set! None other than your friendly neighbourhood – oh wait a minute…

Meanwhile, we discovered that Death also has a playful side to him.

Our team of Comic Con staff and volunteers, always works hard and plays even harder! Although that zombie isn’t looking too great, I think it might be getting hungry!

To our pleasant surprise, a team of young and brave heroes arrived at the scene to sort out our mess and keep us in order!

Well our bus never arrived, so we just decided to have a party!

It was simply love at first sight for Thor and Deadpool who just couldn’t take their eyes off each other. <3
