Added DiffLines:

** The "crew" consisted only of Nguyen and a couple of assistants, meaning that the actors often had to double up and carry out other production roles, with Whitney Moore in particular handling handling the make-up duties after the original make-up artists quit when Nguyen refused to pay them. In an odd aversion of CopiouslyCreditedCreator, Nguyen was only credited as writer, producer and director, and added in a mostly fictional or exaggerated list of credits -- for instance, the credited cinematographer was apparently just a colleague whom Nguyen borrowed the camera equipment from -- in order to make the production seem more professional.

** She giggles when she talks to Dr. Jones, for whatever reason.
** She also corpses when first getting the hangars in the infamous scene.
** She is also laughing during the scene where she and Rod are dancing. One could guess that Rod was being funny if you ever saw his mouth move. Judging by her dancing, she clearly wasn't taking it seriously.

* FanNickname:
** Rod and Ramsey: "[[HoYay Ramrod]]".
** Rod is sometimes referred to as "[[DullSurprise Wooden Rod]]"
** "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons It's an inanimate carbon Rod!]]"



** Inverted when Rod is talking to Natalie over the phone after her photoshoot. He actually has an iPhone while all the other phones in the film are flips. Though it's entirely possible that was the actor's personal phone.

* TroubledProduction: James Nguyen [[http://www.bonniesteiger.com/Birdemic.htm turned out]] to be quite a horrible person, ignoring child labor laws, getting sued for sexual harassment, not paying actors, and being a PrimaDonnaDirector, among other things. There have been some video clips of him screaming at someone (cast or crew, it's unknown), basically yelling "Do you know who I am? I'm better than you!"

Added DiffLines:

** Nguyen did in-camera editing and didn't bother to capture room tone, meaning there was different background noise within a single scene depending on which way the camera was pointed; e.g. one scene had babbling water that would loudly be heard when the camera was on "Tree Hugger". The in-camera editing resulted in either LeaveTheCameraRunning or having scenes beginning before the actors were ready, such as the "applause" scene.

** Same with exterior shots near roads, where they couldn't get any temporary halt on traffic driving by. Yes, your apocalypse is quite believable seeing a steady flow of traffic driving the speed limit behind your characters.
