Zombie Survival Guide08 Jan 2010 07:58 pm

This experimental film/extended trailer was originally created as a “fan film” contest entry, inspired by the books “The Zombie Survival Guide” and “World War Z” written by Max Brooks. Originally filmed between December 2005 – February 2006 on a budget of about twenty bucks and three or four pizzas. The over-the-top aspects were, of course, intentional. We’re aiming for laughs. Not scares.

*IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION:

We get alot of people asking similar questions, so try watching the commentary version here:

*IF YOU ARE MAX BROOKS:

Thank you for inspiring us! As huge fans, we’d love to hear what you think of our little movie. We know that we broke many of the “rules” from the guide, but it was all to make the film a little more fun and not just another “instructional video” ripoff. Thanks again! We hope you enjoyed it!

A man is bitten by a zombie and undergoes the horrible transformation into a soulless corpse.

Directors Commentary:
Im thrilled with the way Undead came out. Producing was difficult; gathering actors, costumes, make up, and props, but I think it was an eventual success. As for directing the story I think this film stands out from most other zombie movies; never have I seen a zombie film from a zombies perspective. Two things really brought Undead onto a whole new level, sound design and color correction. Sound design was pretty easy, but impressively effective. Low tones to bring in more emotion along with the offsetting music. Both really helped set the mood and tie the movie together. Color correction also did a lot to drive the emotional aspect of the movie. In the beginning everything has a gray, dead, de-saturated feel to it. This is to amplify the zombie apocalypse and make the world seem empty. After the main actor is bitten everything turns cold, dark, and blue. This is to give a dead tone to a neighborhood once filled with life, and to make the audience feel lonely, wanting, almost as if they are robbed of their humanity just like the protagonist. Overall I think undead was a fantastic film, and on such a small budget, I couldnt ask for a better product.
