If you haven't noticed already, Infamous has a lot of violence, guns, and fight scenes. These are generally not easy things to pull off (especially in a safe environment) in low budget, guerrilla film making. Our Season One finale, which we just shot this weekend, includes more of this than any of our previous episodes. So who did we turn to for extras with special knowledge and gear?
Tac One Ops, of course. Tac One Ops is a local Shreveport group of talent who are specifically military and police veterans dedicated to bringing their specialized skills to the big screen. Not only do they have civil service backgrounds, but upon joining the Tac One Team, they are trained in stage combat, stunts, basic acting, and basic production, so as to translate their combat experiences onto film in a safe, efficient, and ultimately professional manner. As if that weren't enough, they are able to provide their own costumes and weaponry! This past weekend, Team Infamous had the express pleasure of working with these guys as they lent their skills and gear to produce some truly amazing moments for the dramatic final episode of Season One. So, a special thanks goes to Quay Parton, Clinton Camp, Paul Murray, and David Lee for coming out and showing us how it's done. For more information on the Tac One Ops Team, please visit www.taconeops.com.
While you're waiting for this super exciting finale to come out, catch up on your Infamous in the mean time at www.infamouswebseries.com! And, please support us by supporting some of our awesome threads from our Zazzle store: www.zazzle.com/infamouswebseries*. Thanks!

Casting Call and more
Attention actors! Infamous is looking for 10 to 15 extras, male and female, to play Delta Operatives, hitmen, guns for hire, etc. Age range is 20-30, athletic build is a must, and stunt/martial arts/hand-to-hand combat training is a plus. This is not a paid gig, but you will be fed as well as given a personal copy of the episode. If you are at all interested, please send your headshot and resume to infamouswebseries@gmail.com. Thanks!
We wrapped Episode 6, and filmed much of Episode 7 this weekend. We're really excited and pumped about it, and you can view some cool behind-the-scenes photos on our Facebook page.
Also, our fifth episode, Who's Joshua?, is now up! Watch it now on our website, or at KoldCast.TV. Don't hesitate to give feedback; we love to know what you think.
Be Seeing You.

We Do Our Own Stunts, Too
Infamous is an incredibly action-oriented show, and we have a lot of fight scenes. It stands to reason, then, that we feel a need to keep our actors and stunt-people (generally one in the same) in top shape so that they can keep up with the grueling task of filming the weekly series. How do we do that?
Enter Tracy Thomas, one of our very own stunt men as well as a health and fitness guru. Tracy runs a blog, www.yaboga.com, that we like to refer to that gives us awesome tips on the subject of staying fit. We're grateful to have Tracy's blog to ensure that we maintain a healthy set as well as healthy lives.
Don't forget that episodes one AND two are up; you can watch them on our official website, or on our YouTube channel. And please, if you haven't already, friend us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and check out our Zazzle store for official Infamous merchandise.
