Take a gander at how a vinyl record is made from start to finish. Just plain awesome.

Remember the good old days when you could be a reporter that covered wars and receive instant respect from others. No? Well neither did Frank West during the first installment of Dead Rising. Even the ability to change your appearance into a transgender Mega-man couldn’t stop the disrespect. Simple security guards would push him around too through a radio like a very bad puppet show. And even after killing hundreds of zombies, insane cultists, and your average everyday zombie clown with chainsaws Frank still received very little respect. In fact new slander is surfacing due to the official announcement of Dead Rising 2 as you can see by Ctrl+Alt+Del’s creator Tim Buckley and Brian’s conversation on the subject.
Here’s a funny comic about the dilemmas of being a zombie.

Here’s a great article written by Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Run Fat Boy Run, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, and soon Star Trek) on “why zombies should never be allowed to run on film”. Simon discusses today’s fast zombies and how their sprinting actions might make for exciting pace, but they make for awful scene setup and suspense. Don’t forget to hit the link to continue reading.
“As an avid horror fan, I found the prospect of last week’s five-night TV zombie spectacular rather exciting. Admittedly, the trailer for E4’s Dead Set made me somewhat uneasy. The sight of newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy warning the populace of an impending zombie apocalypse induced a sickening sense of indignation. Only five years previously, Edgar Wright and I had hired Krishnan to do the very same thing in our own zombie opus, Shaun of the Dead. It was a bit like seeing an ex-lover walking down the street pushing a pram. Of course, this was a knee-jerk reaction. It’s not as if Edgar and I hadn’t already pushed someone else’s baby up the cultural high street – but that, to some extent, was the point. In Shaun of the Dead, we lifted the mythology established by George A Romero in his 1968 film Night of the Living Dead and offset it against the conventions of a romantic comedy.”
Here’s a video with the grand scheme of things in mind. I can’t imagine how much time this took but I’m glad there was so much effort poured into it.
