And You Thought The Walking Dead Zombies Were Lifeless…



Well, AMC’s pilot for The Walking Dead has leaked online and someone has ripped the opening credits to YouTube. As you can see, they are quite passable. Moodiness? Check. Forboding visuals? Sure. Not to sully the fine work of whomever was responsible for this, but the credits are just ordinary in comparison to the electrifying sequence animator Daniel Kanemoto made. (Refresh your memory by watching it again here). It would be impractial and somewhat of a legal headache for AMC to actually use Kanemoto’s fan-created work, but having seen both now I can’t help but feel that a great opportunity was missed. By all accounts, the series is shaping up to be something special — early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive — and interest in it hasn’t been diminished one bit. That said, every time I watch this show I’m going to have a hard time not getting aggravated when the credits roll. Sigh.
