Welcome to the future of filmmaking, people. Rebellion, one of Europe’s most successful independent entertainment studios, has released “Zombie Army: Legion of the Dead,“ a glorious new short film.
The dedicated VFX Studio used their own pre-existing game series to produce this wild animated ride. It leverages the organization’s game engine technology and virtual production techniques to create mind-bending content at hyper speeds.
Watch “Zombie Army: Legion of the Dead” right here:
Set in the same dystopian world as the Zombie Army video game franchise, this groundbreaking short takes you deep into the heart of the action as Shola and Boris from the Alpha Squad set out on a mission that runs parallel to the storyline of the game.
He Sun, head of Rebellion VFX, had this to share:
“We are extremely proud of “Zombie Army: Legion of the Dead”. It showcases a unique way of working, utilizing existing assets and powering the creation with video game engines to empower a new kind of storytelling. We hope that fans of the Zombie Army franchise enjoy the new short.”
“How creatives use these tools is completely up to them,” Sun continues. “They can create a vision that sits alongside the existing storylines or create something completely unique and separate. The truly incredible thing as a creative is the immediacy of the process. Traditionally you would be waiting hours, perhaps days, to see your renders, but the beauty of working in-game engine is that you are able to do everything on the fly, in real-time. This allows you to constantly change and iterate to ensure you get the perfect result.”
