I swear, if nothing else the forces of Anti-Zombiism are fiercely devoted to innovative new uses of social media to advance their cause.

As are we.

The sheer creativity our foes possess, however, with regard to marketing is something else:

So, I’ve been working on a trailer for a new Year Zero feature film since December. And you know what they say: You can’t make a zombie trailer without breaking a few zombies. Well, many zombies, this is NYC, afterall. I need zombies extras!

So how can you be an extra from your home? Do you have a camera? Well then, it’s easy!

1. Set your camera to the better resolution it’s got.

2. Pose in front of a window with a shade (or thrown a thin sheet over one), or in front of a white wall if you’ve got no windows!

3. Wear GRAY, NO black or white

4. Have fun with your zombie pose. (Or choose to be a survivor in flight!)

5. Send your images/questions to rec327@gmail.com, or via Dropbox

Thanks,

Richard Cunningham

I had a brief glimmer of hope that this might not be a totally Anti-Zombie project, mention of ‘survivors’ aside, but that was crushed when I went to the Year Zero Facebook page and saw that, in fact, this will be a violent, bloody, very thoroughly Anti-Zombie animated film.

Which is a shame. Wouldn’t it have been great to allow people to vicariously walk/lurch a few feet in a Zombie’s shoes without the prospect of a headshot, Mr. Cunningham? Why put so much effort into animating helpful strangers just to splatter them in effigy?

It’s kind of creepy when you think about it.

Thanks to BuyZombie for pointing this out, for more details see them or the ‘Year Zero’ Facebook page located here.
