the book was written by Max Brooks, and I presume he wrote it for the same reason as every other humor writer. That reason being that he had nothing better to do and/or wanted to make huge sums of cash money on it.

Anyone ever read the "Zombie Survival Guide"? yes, and I bought it. It explains a point often forgotten by most films. A reanimated corpse's "Lifetime" would only be a few weeks because eventually the body would just rot away. Also, since they are able to push themselves far pas...

RE: Aussie Zombie

just for reference, about what length are we looking for with this? Is there anything you don't want (I.E. Do we already have enough Urban environment) what are the specs on our zombies? Can they run? Can they use weapons?

bombs can look like alot of things. THeres the barrel with a control panel, the suitcase with a control panel, pretty much take an everyday item, put a control panel on it, and it could pass as a bomb

RE: MPAA Notice before movie trailers?

WARNING: That is actually copywritted. The MPAA could sue you if you use it. THats not to say that noone on here ever "Bent" the rules to get a film, but it's just a friendly heads up

GRUESOME SCENE WARNING!!!

2 zombies, one about 5-6 feet behind the other one. YOu shove a shotgun in the closest zombies mouth and pull the trigger, thereby blowing the back of his head out. You then shove the shotgun forewared, working the action against it's jaw, and shoot the other one from range.

RE: Need help with a shot.

it looks like some demonic wall-crawler from hell, so if it's a horror flick, I see a shot from directly behind and a little below it, in semi-low light to hide the fact that is itn't real.

(P.S. just curious, how is it attached to the wall?)

If done correctly, you can break the 180 rule easilly, they made it a rule because people ruin perfectly good films by not doing it right.
