Thinking about it, I suggest you watch The Evil Dead if you want to know how to make a good zombie film. If you can come up with an ending as good that one's, you should be set.
Use as few CGI effects as possible. They look cheap as shit, even worse than a fake-looking practical effect.
Dude film a scene in a corn field Gotta have the corn field scene
This summer -- Adam Sandler is.... A ZOMBIE! No but seriously, maybe do a shaun of the dead type? The zombie apocalypse not really taken seriously by two blokes :v: Have em play hide n seek with the zombies
[QUOTE=KnightVista;30420212]If your still accepting ideas; I would make the zombies able to learn. In the beginning they would move slowly and not be able to access higher ground or rooms that were shut, and as they learned they would be able to open doors and climb short walls.[/QUOTE] Land of the Dead
Question guys, do you like the idea of zombies being able to learn? Rate this agree if you like the idea and disagree if you don't.

How about a movie centred on a single lone survivor who is bitten early on in the film, but it appears not to have affected him. The film then shows him becoming gradually more animalistic and desperate as his situation gets worse, with the audience eventually realising that he actually has become a zombie as his last shreds of humanity fade.

Maybe you could make your zombies' nazis and have them walk around like SS troops while shrieking minor, simple words and have them learn basic instincts such as climbing fences and avoiding traps.

No they were not "zombies" in the sense because they were demon possessed, but they were zombies in how they were dead and the way they acted.
[QUOTE=Jack_Thompson;30413716][sp]Can I be in it?[/sp] Make the infection come from plants. And as they become more infected they have vines coming from inside their body and whatnot. kinda like this, only with more human bits [img]http://www.freewebs.com/raxeswar/plant%20zombie.bmp[/img][/QUOTE] Ha, that actually sounds pretty cool.

[QUOTE=deggie;30457925]Land of the Dead[/QUOTE] Loved the game AND the movie

That's exactly what I thought of when I first saw this thread.
You know what, it's my movie guys, and I'll do what I want with it. Zombies will be able to learn in my movie.
[QUOTE=pyroman16;30472000]You know what, it's my movie guys, and I'll do what I want with it. Zombies will be able to learn in my movie.[/QUOTE] Good job asking us what to do and then not giving a shit.
[QUOTE=pyroman16;30429875]Thanks CjienX, and Pinkamina, my budget is not 8 bottles of ketchup, but I can't do anything too spectacular in the movie. And KnightVista, zombies being able to learn and use weapons is a good idea.[/QUOTE] Thanks : ) And by the way, I was being serious about them becoming smart, I was just exaggerating about the zombies using guns. But I am really serious about them slowly becoming smart enough to say simple words (Creepy ones) and even possibly use vehicles.
Your quite welcome KnightVista, and Hakita, I asked for your guys' opinions and I disagree with them.
[QUOTE=deggie;30457925]Land of the Dead[/QUOTE] I've never seen it, if it's been done then :geno:

The main thing in zombie movies aren't the zombies, its the people and their survival instincts. For an example, in alot of Dawn Of The Dead (original) the zombies can't even get close to the humans and it just shows how they survive and what they do.
Hey guys, have you ever heard of Madness Combat? If you have not, check this out: [url]http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/madness.html[/url]

[QUOTE=pyroman16;30473077]Hey guys, have you ever heard of Madness Combat? If you have not, check this out: [url]http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/madness.html[/url][/QUOTE] no nobody has heard of one of the most famous flash series ever
[QUOTE=JustGman;30460442]Those weren't zombies, they were posessed.[/QUOTE] Sure, but it shows just how good a movie with shoestring budget effects can look.
[QUOTE=pyroman16;30472000]You know what, it's my movie guys, and I'll do what I want with it. Zombies will be able to learn in my movie.[/QUOTE] Good job. Believe it or not, movies are just as much the service industry as anything else. If you make a movie nobody will like, nobody but you is going to watch it. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=JustGman;30460442]Those weren't zombies, they were posessed.[/QUOTE] Oh boo hoo, the things in 28 Days Later are technically infected with Rage, it's still considered a zombie movie.
[QUOTE=pyroman16;30472916]Still, them becoming gun-toting maniacs will add to the action, and make it more challenging for the hero to beat them.[/QUOTE] It didn't really work that well for Land of the Dead, how do you think you're going to pull that off? :sigh:
[QUOTE=Jack_Thompson;30475474]It didn't really work that well for Land of the Dead, how do you think you're going to pull that off? :sigh:[/QUOTE] He doesn't seem to realize that the whole concept of a zombie is a braindead walking corpse that does nothing but aimlessly wanders around until it finds something to prey on. It doesn't KNOW that it's preying on it though, it's just following the sound\smell\light\whatever purely because it's something different. Not because it has a hatred for people, not because it's smart, because its just something different. If you make the zombies learn one thing, there's no threat in numbers anymore, no threat in a slow moving hoard that you know you don't have enough ammo to outgun. And eventually, you're bound to be surrounded because they're going to be coming from every direction
Don't make everyone die in the end, [sp] In the end of a certain zombies series everyone dies, making the whole series feel kind of pointless. Altough in this case there was a message behind this, it gave it a sour taste afterwards because you watched them surviving for 3 hours only to become part of the horde in the end, making no difference at all. [/sp]
What if the zombies were just normal people, but with heavily limited rights?
