A Discussion of The Undead

Alright. So I made this blog so that I could join my team members of Fusion, but I figured I'd take advantage of having one. Movin' on; I've noticed a trend that is growing throughout my generation of fellow student and peers: zombies. As my career as a student went on, zombies seemed to take over my life. Whether it was my generation of students (Leti, Dave, Daryl, etc.) or the current 1st year students (Jesse, Anji, Thorin, etc.), there's always been at least one project or occurrence of zombies.

The most memorable was one of my past instructors films entitled "Daddy of the Dead". It was a fun project, because not only was the concept of the movie fantastic, but I actually participated in the film as a zombie (I'm actually one of the first zombies you see (/end gloating)). After doing that project, my friends and I have all had some sort of zombie association.


And now, after two years from filming, I'm once again involved with the undead. In working with Jesse, Rudy and Miguel (and whichever programmers we get) I'm now taking the role of being a zombie again. So not only will I continue to post about the game we are creating, but also about my thought process behind making creations that have zombies or even just the undead in them.
