It's always sweet when people are running, with guns, from things, to stay alive.

I enjoyed this a lot especially the "they all move the same" comment.

Thats great. What cam did you shoot this with?

this makes me want to make my own zombie film, maybe one day.

grate ending.

That was a great Zombie film Trevor well done

I like the camera moves. Works for films like this.

Amazing cinematography and camera movement. I love the framerate used at 4:16 Awesome ending too.

I loved these when I saw them a while ago. These clips of yours might be the most re-watched videos on Vimeo for me.

epic and fun

Wow, powerful!
I want more!!!!

is a sequel in the works?

perfect color and camera movement for the overall feel of the movie..nice nice

Wow! At the end it was like bang!! :D
Wonnderful!

This is so great. Good story, good shooting (not with the gun), good sound, good editing. I think it's one of the best I've seen on Vimeo.

very cool.

that's crazy wide though.

nice work! like the btbam inclusion. though, im curious as to whether or not the main character was the same as the voiceover guy and why the decision to make the screen abnormally long was made? still, really nice stuff!

love the film, how did you do the running and filming ? looks so smooth

You kept a replica-quality of the 28 days/months later movie! The camerawork, the acting, ambient sounds, makeup and outfits were all just *perfect*. I would have liked to hear some infected sounds for a more dramatic effect on the chases, though!
Nice stuff you made there :)

2:33 is THE most baller sequence, the cutaways are amazing!

...props on the Muse.

props to the stunt people for throwing themselves on some pretty nasty looking railroad tracks

Very nice. Well shot. Great sound. Good dramatic tension. Well done all around.

is that a real m4a1?

Great job in all aspects, except for the foley work. Sometimes the sound effects seemed too loud or it seemed like there should've been sound effects when there weren't (Like in 2:44, it jarred me pretty bad when you were running and I didn't hurt boots stomping or anything)

Looks great!

So it begs the question,was it hasty foley, or was it deliberately done to counterpoint the video distortion.

Amazing job on this. Very good.

Great music choices! Muse and Blonde Redhead, oh yes!

Wow. Incredible job.

I'm a big fan of the franchise / genre and you really did it justice. Great shots, great look, great makeup, suspense, everything.. very believable.

Some nice shots in there. Especially appreciate the Muse and BTBAM.

Awesomeness. Always wanted to do something like this.

Awesome, realy! fuc**** awesome...
great shots, great photografy, great job in editing, very nice colors...
awesome work man....
congratulations...

Nice shots, music and colors!

nice work trevor!

Fantastic! The sideways on shot of the two of them at the end is awesome!

that was amazing!

haha that was awesome. it took me a minute to figure out why that second guy shot the first guy lol

That was some awesome stuff

btw where did you get the military gear?

Did you use a DOF adapter on this?

Really great.

What's the song at 3:55?

Awesome

I know you said you shot this wth an hvx, but what brand exactly what camera, i only ask cause I am going to buy this camera

wonderful, my only issue is the muzzle flashes. during daylight it is very difficult to see a muzzle flash, and the whole screen lighting up ruins it for me. it would be more appropriate indoors, but i understand that it was probably an airsoft replica. try putting a tiny bit of baby powder in the barrel and actually firing the bb's (black bb's so they wont be seen), that way with the high shutter speed it will look a bit more convincing. otherwise it was phenomenal.

awesome job buddy, well done. Cinematography, editing, makeup, costume, was fantastic.

Did you shoot some scenes with a high shutter speed? I noticed the erratic sort of look like in the shots of the infected from 28 Days Later or the intro to Saving Private Ryan.

Well done again mate, thanks for sharing.

omg this vid was so awesome and the the recording is so beutiful and great i could see this in theaters with a bit more of works on minor things but over all fantastic! it was brilliant thank you for sharing this with us!

This is awesome. Excellent cinematography and the actor's voice is excellent. However I feel like the titles and the screamo music really detracts from the overall experience.

I enjoyed the effect this movie had. The thing one I was hoping was at the dramatic scenes the music seemed to drown out the combat scenes. One moment I wish the sound was a little less was at the near end scene inside the house with the infected man and his gun jams. This has to be one of the best pictures i've seen. The style and effects were awesome! I'd love to see a sequel! I agree with Jeremy above, the metal music didn't seem to mesh as well with the film. (Band Of Brothers really reminded me of this, the music wassuttle and at dramatic points high and suspenseful, but still only in the background.)

Have you read the Zombie Survival Guide? It is a great book by a guy called Max Brooks. Check it out. If you like zombies at all its a deffinate read!

great short! nice ending!

Great Stuff...!
The only thing, you should know:
Zombies will freeze in winter... ("Zombie survival guide")
Hrhrhrhr!
But this is a awesome movie anyway!

what kind of camera were you using

very fun!

Great work!

wow ! this is nice !

this is truly inspiring for me. For my film courses midterm project , i must make a film that is also going to be set in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world. You did an amazing job on this, i can see you put a lot of effort into it.

Amazingly well-made. Also, that ending actually took me by surprise!

Totally suckered me in. Did not see that coming. Well played, sir.

song at 4:25

great camera work, good edit and nice look and feel to the film but the zombies look a bit crap, the muzzle flashes arent up to scratch and the sound design is awful, a good sense of space would have been far more effective than laying music over every scene

LOVED this...

Please -- WORKFLOW NOTES!!!

Camera, original specs, software, etc.

Bio info? Thanks!

Wow, this is really great, some of the best stuff I've seen on the HVX, a very fitting pastiche of Danny Boyle's work on the XM2 in the original 28 days.

The thing I was most impressed with (this may sound silly) was the 4 zombies falling on the train tracks, really lifelike! How did they do this?!

That was great Trevor! The edting was perfect man!

nice! =)

While I think the film was beautifully shot, and quite well edited, my one word of constructive criticism would be to spend more time on sound. Sound is 70% of the movie experience, and ESPECIALLY when you have guns/military/action themes at stake, you need to have well-mixed sound and deadly realistic sound effects.

Some different, and more intense gunshot sounds would have been nice. Some soft reload/gun-handling sounds would have been cool too. I also felt the zombie sounds could be harsher and scarier....

The film is awesome, and looks stunning, just giving you my two cents on the entire "experience", which is obviously something you guys are aiming for.

GREAT work!

Have you seen EffectsLab Pro from fxhome.com? It makes THE best muzzle flashes! Give it a go!

wow awsome work mate.
The last scene is so great. This huge is looks scary.
Do you plan a full movie?

Great, Great, Great!

Good job!
Great editing!

very well done
the color is amazing how did you get it like that

Mordecai! Great execution when the song drops. Although, I do feel like this particular video would have benefited from having its own original and fairly uniform soundtrack. Just to help further push the envelope of the full length feel you were going for.

In any case. Great vid.

Awesome. I just love zombies. And THIS is great.

very great video

Between the Buried and Me for the win! Very nice close ups.

Loved the ending.

seriously... really great video man... the ending was epic! the comment he made was just so, right haha

Loved the hand-held, snap-zooms, and high shutter speed!!! Also the desaturated color...Were those HVX Scene Files, or CC, or both?

Good movie, beautifully shot! :)

(A little loose in the middle though, I thought)

Nice, very well done. Pretty good suspense at one point and very nice irony. I like it.

I thought this was very well done. If you were to re-edit this I would suggest renaming the "session" to a journal entry and have it from the point of view of the soldier running from the infected. Like Journal Entry 4 Today was a close encounter, then showing the scene where he has a close enounter with the zombie on the hill.

How did you do the muzzle flash?

This is a great film, very well done. It really did look almost like it was 28 Days (or Weeks) Later. Very very good technique.

Dude, amazing. I am envious, because my 7D would not be able to pan or move that quickly, due to all that fun rolling shutter stuff. I love the grading, too. How did you possibly get the lens so wide? It's like, crazy wide.

nice

Magnifiquè!

Excellent camera work. I do agree that the sound needs a bit of TLC, but overall great job, and I think I once had that airsoft M4.

My only plot hole theory is, if its only been 8 days, you wouldnt really need to hunt or look hard for water, if you're already searching houses. But that is neither here nor there.

Great work!!

Great filming but I disliked the editing. all in all it was good.

This is one of the first films that I saw on Vimeo and one that really got me interested in the craft.

I would love to see this revisited with completely different audio. I love the music, but the sound is very much behind the rest of the film in quality.

i love zombie movies, but i had to stop part way through session 4. it was all just run shoot run shoot. let it build a little, give the characters some tangible goals.

maybe its cause ive been watching the walking dead on amc... that show is damn good
