    [video=youtube;yFrGrH5zfbg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFrGrH5zfbg[/video] Australian film made w/ 20k raised thru crowdfunding and boy does it look like they've put that cash to good use.

    Very good job. Very watchable. They've obviously been paying close attention to the Edgar Wright school of film editing. No bad thing. The only criticism I'd make is that it's a bit busy, e.g.

    Editor: Do we want a heavy industrial soundtrack?
    Director: Yeah, put that in.
    Editor: Do we want lots of specific squealchy, clicky, growly, snarly, bitey, etc. sound effects for every single action?
    Director: Yeah, put them all in.
    Editor: Do we want lots of colour effects?
    Director: Yeah, put them all in.
    Editor: Do we want continuous smoke effects with the zombies?
    Director: Yeah, put them all in.
    Editor: Do we want a clichéd guy falls to knees and screams over death of his partner?
    Director: Yeah, put that in.

    I'm definitely eager to watch more though.

    oh well, I love busy. bring on the onslaught. must have carnage. I figure the smoke effects w/ the zombies have some greater purpose tho, like they're sending out zombie poison or something. the idea of a zombie film against the backdrop of the outback has a very raw aesthetic appeal.

    Here's a more up-to-date teaser trailer. The film was finished only a few months ago, so while the older trailer posted above is totally representative of the film, that particular scene doesn't happen.

    I saw this at the Toronto After Dark film festival last night and loved it. I won't say too much and ruin it, but the film's take on the zombie virus is one that I haven't seen before. Zombie purists will have to suspend their disbelief about certain things, but if you just go with it, it's really good. I highly recommend checking this out if you have a chance.

    Looks good.

    Love the fact that they gear up,
    So many films etc, do not speak of protective gear.
    A little leather here and there, once in a while ducttape on your sleeves...


    Why is glenn etc no longer wearing prison riot gear?
    Because if they all look like storm troopers it doesnt make for good television.
    I get that.
    Eight people all fighting, and you can't tell who is who...
    Can't see thier facial expressions.

    But I'm not sure what I would wear for headgear, but I'd have something.

    I think you'd love this movie. Check their Facebook page. There are some one-night screenings in Australia coming up soon. Maybe one of them is near you?
