Zombie Eyes

I've never quite understood why Zombies are portrayed as having white iris', but I do like that look and I figure that if we're gonna make a zombie movie, we should include the look. With contacts costing a minimum of £25 a pair and our production budget being next to £0 they were out of the question. However, special effects are perfectly doable.

Above is the first test.

The clip was exported from After Effects as an image sequence, then edited in photoshop. It would have been imported back into After Effects, but my version has a bug, which I'll need to get fixed.

I think the look achieved for the amount of time spent on it is pretty good. It's only 13 frames long though, with 24 frames in a second, if we have any long shots of zombies with their eyes really visible, things could get tough. I may send frames off to others to edit.

If all goes to plan, we will be filming the first viral short on Monday night, which will give a feel of things to come and give us a chance to work on things like the zombie eyes, etc using actual footage and not just test clips of me standing in my bedroom.

I'll update again when we have the viral filmed.
