Video: THE WALKING DEAD - Season 3 Visual Effects Reel (NSFW)

Wednesday 10 April 2013

I sometimes post videos that visualize how a TV show managed to pull off its impressive visual effects, usually focused on the imperceptible trickery of Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire. But this one focuses on AMC's zombie drama The Walking Dead, revealing in a gruesome three-minutes how Stargate Studios pulled off the show's many, many, many zombie kills. Seriously, if you were disappointed by the lack of heads and arms being chopped off in previous years, they were clearly saving all that for the third season. Away from the zombies, it also reminds you just how much the show relies on digital buildings and landscapes to bring its apocalyptic world to vivid life.

(Warning: the above video contains non-stop scenes of graphic violence, potential spoilers for UK viewers, and loud music to wake grandad up.)
