    Limited in terms of talent,, (but who can afford Sigourney Weaver!!), but this was a concept and script of award winning proportions in my estimation. I especially liked the 'homage' to Dawn of the Dead with the rising 'husband'.

    Truly remarkable piece of work that deserves a wider audience. Bravo.

    Hey Robert,
    This is really good!!!
    Nice post process. Good shots, good colors, good zombies!!!
  • Robert W. Filion 3 years ago
    I appreciate it, Jesse. I wish you guys could have come down... when will you be making your zombie film?
  • Jesse Knight plus 3 years ago
    I won't be making it, but I think Blake and Micah will be doing it at some point. I'm busy finishing my first feature "F-3" (almost finished with the edit/shot with a DVX100) and my second feature, "Knowhere," (shot on 16mm) is about 70% shot. Thinking about shooting a third one this summer in HD. Are you working on anything else?

    Oh my goodnes. That was just...amazing. This almost looks like a real film. What camera did you use and what equipment did you use?
  •  
  • Robert W. Filion 3 years ago
    I appreciate that, Paul... I own a JVC GYHD110 camera, light with CosmoBeam 2ks and Lowell 1k DPs, and have Sennheiseiser wireless UHF sound gear (though, I only used production sound for 1 shot, everything else was Foley and ADR). I work in post with Adobe CS3 software (some may be surprised by this, however, I find the suite superior to FCP), and I have a custom edit system designed around the Matrox RTx2.

    Great great flick. Congrats on the win at American Zombie and it was cool to see it on big screen at Zombies Take Charlotte. Kudos Robert!!
  • Robert W. Filion 2 years ago
    Thanks, Rab. It was a fun evening... and slightly surreal as well. I'm grateful you and everyone else enjoyed it. Keep in touch.

    Great flick Robert. As I was sucked into to the story, I couldn't help but think, man, imagine if it was all in her head. But you had great timing for when to introduce that, and for allowing the story to play out without intercutting with the 'real world' it allowed me to stay within it and begin to believe the world she was in was real. Just an awesome flick all around!

    Thank you for your comment, Scott.

    Wow! Amazing movie. When the bullets hit the zombies it looked fantastic! Did you use pumps and tubes?
  • Robert W. Filion 2 years ago
    Thank you, Gabe. Yes, we used a paint pump and tubing for the hits.

    Thank you, Steve. My last short was Chekhov's Children... also on this site (vimeo.com/6579282). I'm completing another currently entitled Lot 66.

    Great movie!! I can watch over and over again.
    Sarah is a great actress and very beautyful. She surely will advance in hollywood.
    The car hit reminds me of Andrew Kramers tutorial
    No. 67. "Advanced Car Hit", right? :)
    Go on like this!
  • Robert W. Filion 1 year ago
    Thank you, Chris. As for the hit, I did this prior to finding Video CoPilot.

  • Josh Smith plus 1 year ago
    Great twist on the genre. I can see why it got the awards. In the end, a reflection on cold lifeless suburban living with suspense and powerful emotional content. Some cool effects, and never a wasted moment.
  • Robert W. Filion 1 year ago
    Again, Thank you, Josh!
