Night Zero – A Unique Take On A Zombie Web Comic
Actually shooting every step of the story, followed by editing it, AND turning it into a web comic? About Zombies? I’m sold and you should be to! While there aren’t a lot of issues done ye there are enough to get your feet wet in the world that has been created after the outbreak. Cities have been fortified. Factions have been made. Watch how the politics play out in a world overrun with the undead. Honestly the idea of political intrigue in a post apocalyptic setting where you are constantly under siege and surrounded by zombies sounds like something Hollywood should pickup on. With zombies being as popular as they are right now a plot following these lines would be great to watch on the big screen. Until that time reading the story online will NOT be a let down!
On a fun side note they cover a lot of the production shots and details on the Night Zero Blog.
About Night Zero:
NIGHT ZERO is a photo comic book, or fumetti, produced on location in Seattle, Washington. It is a collaboratively-driven project that blends the talents of writers, actors, photographers, digital artists, and film crews, to create a graphic novel unlike any other.
Night Zero’s Storyline:
Set in the months following a deadly viral outbreak, NIGHT ZERO follows the lives of the surviving population of Seattle, Washington. Holding together in the New City, a semblance of normalcy barricaded against the terrors of the world outside, those still alive have no choice but to throw their lots in with the rest and make a new future.
Night Zero’s Look:
NIGHT ZERO is produced like a feature film, shot on-location with a full cast and crew, complete with sets, props, and costumes. Using the emerging technology of High Dynamic Range photography (HDR) and a process called tonemapping, our digital artists are able to transform the images into a unique visual style somewhere between photography and illustration. There is no tracing or hand drawing superimposed on the photographs– the “illustrated” style is purely the result of the HDR photography method.
