Zombie movies have been done to death (ba-dum-tish). But every once in a while, someone breaths new unlife into the genre with a new angle. In this case, a new technology. Alan Dillingham and Killatainment Films are creating the first ever 360 degree, continuous shot, immersive zombie film with Die Zombies Die!
Die Zombies Die will be a one continuous shot film, which means that there will be no cuts, the whole film will be in one single take. This is a short film. Synopsis: Two people must escort a survivor through a horde of zombies. Let the bodies hit the floor! This film will be shot in two different styles. Version 1: A traditional film with awesome camera movement as we follow the hero’s as they kick zombie ass and escort the survivor to safety. This version will be submitted to film festivals. Version 2: A immersive 360 VR experience, which will allow the the viewer to feel like the survivor being escorted to safety. This version will be uploaded to YouTube for people’s enjoyment. What is a 360 VR Experience? It is a new and immersive way of watching videos. The 360 camera systems record the full 360° field of view. After recording the video with the specialized camera it then goes into the editing software, where the video is customized for the VR experience. How is it different? It allows the viewer to observe the action around them and watch any point in a 360° view. How do I watch a 360 video? There are many ways to watch a 360 video using various VR devices and or programs. Do I need a VR Device to view? No. You can view the film on the You Tube App and also online on google chrome. However, the VR experience is heightened with a better immersion with the devices built for it. Why 360? The 360° allows a new way to watch films and with it a new way of making films. It allows the viewer to feel closer and be a part of the action. It really is an amazing technology that is just taking off.
