Japanese Amusement Parks-Zombie Haven?
By Brett on 08-27-10 - General
The Japanese have always had an interesting sense of humor. A lot of their artwork is very…unique. So when I came across this article I had to stop and pause. “Woah.”
It was something like that. Either way, the people that made this park are sadistic. What do children think when they come here? “Hey mommy! It’s Japanese FunLand!”
“Oh…yes it is honey…look at that cute little…woman with chains around her neck?”
Exactly. Sadistic.

Zombie Question of the Week #4
By Brett on 08-22-10 - Emergence,ZQOTW
This was a much better week. I enjoyed the responses this time around. The whole cast and crew did.
I have some quick news to share before we get into this week’s ZQOTW. We’ve wrapped up the production of Emergence: Episodes as of today. That means there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I’ve also submitted us to IMDB so we’ll see if they accept it. They should, if not then they’re missing out on a sweet movie. Keep checking out Facebook as we’ll continue posting pictures of the various shoots!
Now back to the important stuff. Zombies.
Last week we asked “What is a zombie?” We had a lot of good responses. One that gave us a good laugh was from Mark Jensen, our composer, who said that zombies aren’t real but are a conspiracy created by the government to look for oil. This was funny but ultimately the winner goes to Sloan Scott. She had a very detailed response about her thought on the zombie and we appreciated how in-depth it was:

Zombie Question of the Week #3
By Brett on 08-18-10 - Emergence,ZQOTW
I’m pretty disappointed this week. Only three comments and one is from the director. Everyone needs to pick it up and show that you know your zombies! Either way we did get some good responses but I must say Paul Murphy wins again. He had me at the half-inch solid steel double bar deadbolt comment.
I would go to a high school. Schools today are designed to be able to be locked down quickly. Also in most city schools are multiple story, brick-and-mortar buldings with solid doors and heavy locks designed to keep a threat outside. And if one was lucky, there are solid-core fire doors blocking off each stairwell with a half-inch solid steel double bar deadbolt. Oh, and the doors can only be opened from inside the building, away from the stairwell. And there’s plenty of frozen food to keep you fed.
Unfortunately, no prize. Not for awhile. But that doesn’t mean you should stop commenting! This week we have a different type of question. This one requires more thought and should have some pretty cool answers. Why? I’ll show you…
What is a zombie?
*cue evil music* MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
I don’t even know how to answer this question! There are a million different answers! Try it. I’m hoping someone has the answer I want to hear, that would be awesome.

Filming in the 21st Century
By Brett on 08-13-10 - Emergence,General
You see, back in the old days, it was uncommon to see a group of kids filming a movie on the side of the road. That generation was accustomed to movie stars only being in Hollywood.
“Clint Eastwood in Kansas? No way!!! You’re pulling my leg…”
Today, filmmakers are everywhere. We’re like a virus that you can’t get rid of. We spread and spread and now with film equipment being so accessible it isn’t uncommon to see a group of people filming in Dallas, Atlanta or even Lincoln, Nebraska.
Logically, you would think that people would not consider it a big deal seeing a group of young individuals such as ourselves filming with a camera and a large stick with a fuzzy thing on the end of it. Instead, one might think “Hey, those guys over there? They’re just making a movie…and a good one at that.”
Apparently not.

Zombie Question of the Week #2!
By Brett on 08-07-10 - Emergence,ZQOTW
And we’re back! This time with a new question, a new week and unfortunately no contest. Actually, your response would essentially be rewarded with our appreciation…which is a pretty good deal right?
Last week our question had to do with the best cities to be in if a zombie apocalypse occurred. We received some pretty good responses but ultimately our favorite one was from Paul Murphy:
Ideally, one would get as far away from a heavily populated area. If you were forced to seek refuge in a city, I world choose Norfolk, Virginia. It is home to the worlds largest naval station. the ships would provide an excellent defense against the undead, and you would have a floating fortress stocked with weapons and food that would crew of over 100 men more than a month. A few people could survive for a near indefinite period of time. There is also a lot military personnel whose training would be invaluable, so long as they remain alive.
It would be a pretty intense fight but I could see someone surviving awhile at a naval station. Assuming the military people in the area survived, or at least some, they would probably know how to use a gun or two so this seemed pretty reasonable.
