J Cornell Michel linked to this article from her post about her experiences at Fandom Fest [ http://www.zombie-guide.com/fandomfest-weekend ] Be sure to give it a read - along with all the other zombie awesomeness on ZGM!

In a comment to her article I decided to tell the tale of the Michael Rooker footage in the above video. I wanted to share it here as well (for posterity.)

Great article Jillian! I'm glad I stopped by your booth at Fandom Fest where I learned of this website. It is the Zombiest!!

Thanks for sharing my video here on Zombie Guide - I was pleased with how it turned out. especially since it was my first time using that particular camera and it was edited rather quickly.

You mentioned that it has Michael Rooker footage; I must say I am very proud to have captured that whole deal on video. It was really quite funny the way I got the video - allow me to recap:

I was walking through the lobby of Galt House (for the upteenth time) when I noticed Mr Rooker and his entourage heading out of the revolving door. So I powered up the camera and decided to follow them. Walking briskly I was soon able to pass them on the sidewalk and as I did I held the camera out in front of me and pointed the lens back to the celebrity. All of a sudden and in a very loud voice Mr. Rooker started yelling at me, referring to me as those !@!$ #&*^$% paparazzi. Well I must admit I was rather flustered, and began apologizing for the intrusion. His friends seemed to be taken aback by the exchange. Suddenly Michael burst out laughing and insisted "I'm just messing with you" and reached out to shake my hand (the one holding the camera of course.) I fumbled to get my hand out of the grip strap and took his hand, firmly shook it and said, "I am very glad to see you." He said "I am very pleased to meet you." Releasing his grip, he and his companions went on their way with a chuckle. I dashed back into the lobby to review the footage to confirm that yes, that really did just happen. True story :)

That's awesome! I was wondering what you said to Mr. Rooker to make him laugh so hard :) Thanks so much for letting me share your video on Zombie Guide. You got some great footage of Fandomfest!
