Getting into a Zombieland Mood
MB: We took all our photos with a Canon digital camera, we did all our tracking in boujou and all our roto we did in Shake. All our 3D was done in Maya, rendered through RenderMan but we could not get the look we wanted in RenderMan for some of the scenes so we switched over to mental ray about half-way through the show. We also dabbled with a plug-in called Glass for breaking things, but we ultimately found that it couldn't handle the complexity that we wanted. So we built our own system for doing that using Maya and were provided with a really workable solution time wise. Then we composite everything in Shake and viewed everything using FrameCycler.
BD: So, it sounds like you had a lot of fun dabbling with zombies.
MB: The funny thing is, in visual effects, you're able to take from project to project so many lessons that you learn, that it doesn't really matter what the movie is. Things I learned on Zombieland will go into the next serious movie and, no doubt, the next one after that.

Zombie movies were big in 2009 - I love them. But I think they have had their day. Wolfman is more this year's flavour - but I think its time for some new ghouls. Any ideas?

GREAT movie, really awesome with the special effects and has a tinge of edge to it!
is a good means to get mileage, as the movie has done awesomely well with the technical details,
This movie really got me wide-eyed and totally grossed out but i still couldn't get up and leave! I just had to finish the movie! This is a great one!

hehe love zombieland!
This was one of the best movies of the year. The first 30 minutes alone is worth the price of admission - brilliant directing and editing. This visuals couldn't have been any better. And the whole Bill Murray thing was simply hysterical. Hats off to Woody, who does a fantastic job and the kids were simply wonderful as well.
The movie was amazing. Some scenes were surely worth the effort they put in. Lets see how well it does with the awards.
