The original idea

The original idea i came up with was about 2 or 3 years ago, the idea was born from reading the walking dead graphic novels. i had the idea that we could do 4 to 6 short episode based zombie flicks based around 3 characters. I went to Ricky, Ross and Damian with the idea and they liked it and the thought i put into it. Me and Ricky worked on the script, I had a few ideas and i had come up with how to start the first episode off, Ricky took the notes that i gave him and he turned it into a script and gave the characters a bit more depth and tried to make them stand out from all the other zombie stuff out there. Me and Ricky and the rest of are group had quite a few meetings about the script and how to expand on the idea. Ricky was given the role of writting the script from my idea, I was going to direct, Ross was D.O.P and frst camera and Damian was second camera and editor. Ricky and me went through the script changed a few things and was nearly finished it. We shot a short teaser trailer for The Lonely Dead. I was able to get permission to film in Ford Park Cemetery, thats where the trailer was shot, we also shot a few other scenes at the same time that was for the first episode. After finishing the trailer and editing some of the scenes together, we had a group meeting and decided to pull the plug on the idea as, the walking dead was just released and it was to similar. We then decided to change te idea and write it as a mocumentary that would address the idea of how the world would react if zombies were intergrated into society.

This is a very short teaser trailer we made for our original idea, we follow a group of zombies as they are walking through the world lost and looking for there next meal.
