It was a nice watch, I would say. I do have some qualms. Honestly, it seems like you guys tried too hard in some spots. Excessive gore (to the point that it was obviously campy) and over-the-top sound effects lead me to believe that you guys did this as a nonserious project. Am I wrong to think this? Of a 6:30 minute video, 1:30 was actual plot-driven stuff, 1 minute was zombie-chewing and -maiming, and the rest was credits/bloopers. That seems a bit odd to me. Cute homage to Romero's works, though.

There were some big reasons behind the exessive gorey ending to it. We had gotten some effects artists to do a chest mold of a chest (which is what they are tearing open and taking the guts and gore out of). We wanted to keep alot of that footage just for the reason that it got to show off how well it worked. Another reason is that the director is completely insane and loves gorey scenes. I mean, we are called Reel Splatter, so you have to assume some sort of bloody gorey stuff has to be in there somewhere. I'm not a super fan of the horror movies and things like the director is; all i do is do the video editing. Plus, i was Skyler Phalanges. :-P

No, its called "Chunks of Flesh". Its basically a very thinned out latex that is great to use for gore scenes like that.
