The Walking, Digitally Inserted Dead
Say what you will about The Walking Dead TV series, but one thing I think it does exceptionally well is zombie special effects. Seriously, I can practically never tell what zombies are real, digitally inserted, or totally CG, and that’s to the SFX team’s credit. So I love seeing these little behind-the-scenes looks at various shots from the show to see what was real and what wasn’t. See, Avengers CG dude? Would it really have been that hard to give us a couple looks at early builds of the Hulk? I think not. (Via Blastr)
