zombie/survival horror short film "The Survivor"

Recommended Posts

Hello !

I graduated a film course last year and I'm making a zombie survival horror teaser in a few months time when the weather cools down In my part of the world due to living in a tropical kind of environment.

Thought I might throw a few things up I've been working on.. Here is a simple title I made a while ago and I shall upload some storyboards aswell ^_^

I plan to direct, shoot & edit everything along with some help of others I know with the same interests

Ok ppl, got some of my storyboard pics working... these 1st 6 are to the introduction to the survival horror teaser I'm in pre-production of..

I basically came up with these idea well over a year ago.. a survivor stranded in the Australian wilderness in the middle of a night with a flare ...I actually scrapped the night idea with a flare being the only light source at first in favour of daytime story because I thought filming at night would cause hassles.. but after playing 400 hrs of dayz i love the idea of a night time scenario

:D

So anyone who knows anything about story boarding will know that you place arrow indicator markers for the character movement on the panels to illustrate a mud map of whats happening,, I've left these out untill I make the Animatic if anyone was confused ^_^

Looking good, i wish i did some story board layouts with my current project which is also a horror short (check out my vids on youtube and search for nnuuvids). Are you doing this strictly with the editor? Or are you filming it on a server in game? Reason i ask is cause your story boards show a flare being used. I can not for the life of me get DayZ flares to work in the editor. If you need any help with the editor, give me a shout.

Thanx!, No this wont be ingame, I'm actually filming this in real life, It's not specifically dayZ related just a zombie short film. I have a makeup artist organized and some other friends to help aswell

I mentioned above i had this exact idea about 18 months ago while i was still studying to do the film. I thought the idea would be to difficult to film in the dark with flare(s) but dayz made me want to do it after running around with flares in the middle of the night while playing the game. I still have a good chunk of storyboards left to complete, hopefully I'm able to film this in a few months time.

ps.. how the hell do i make the pictures i post BIG and not thumbnails you have to click ?

Whoops, my mistake, i should have read what you said better. Now that i know its gonna be live action. You have to do this at night with a flare. Love that kind of mood and plus the makeup will look better with some darkness. Good luck with it

In regards to the thumbs, thats the way it is on here. I prefer it that way as i usually browse sites on my phone and do not want to wait for images to load up.

OH MAN, i searched on youtubes for your vids and you made one of the favorites i found about 3 weeks ago called " horror of green mountain " that was awesome fucking trailer !!!!! ive watched it like 20+ times or more.. the music was really good.. haha i cant beleive that was you, small world...

& thanx again, yes filming at night is going to be hard i dare say ! i have to wait till winter so there isnt so many bugs, spiders and snakes.. i live in a tropical climate in Australia insects EVERYWHERE
