The Challenge
28 Days of Rain for Zombie Community
The Zombies are restless and destructive and the incessant rain isn’t helping matters. It’s been 28 days since the heavens opened and the harsh climate is certainly not dampening the blood lust!
The VFXTalk Challenge series now invites you to showcase your bad weather simulation talents! VFX404 challenges you to set a scene reminiscent of those dark days and nights from Danny Boyle’s 28 Days later.
Create a miserable storm embattled world, a scene immersed in drizzling rain and fog; or struggling against a major gale or tornado.
Take your zombie, (or zombies) up a deserted city street, through a rain drenched forest or leave them pacing inside a leaking building. The more desolate and weather damaged your setting is the better.
You will have to deal with moving cameras and the integration of your zombie into the environment. Your matte painting skills will be needed to bring this horror piece to life!
You can introduce 2D or 3D elements just make sure to create a destructive and depressing atmosphere, the kind of place where a creature from the dead will feel right at home!
