Top SFX shots No.31: Diary Of The Dead

Martin Anderson


Published on Jan 12, 2009

Spin VFX turned in a superb combination of motion-capture and CGI grue in George Romero's otherwise disappointing follow-up to Land Of The Dead (2005). Here our heroes have attacked a zombie with sulphuric acid, and the 'citizen' camera lingers at great length on the revenant's demise. With the actor moving and the camera hand-held, there are two fields of relative motion to take into account when calculating the position of the CGI acid-melt, and this is the kind of naturalistic CGI footage that - together with the hand-held work in Cloverfield - at least supplies some kind of reason to pursue the 'amateur footage' angle.
