AMC continues to do a bang-up job giving us the inside scoop on their horror epic “The Walking Dead”. Today, though, they’ve really outdone themselves with a 17-mintute making-of video detailing almost every phase of the show’s production. Only complaint might be that it shows too much, so if you don’t want some scenes from the first episode spoiled for you, better do yourself a favor and wait until after you’ve seen it to take a look at this mini-doc.
Hear from Executive Producers Frank Darabont and Gale Anne Hurd about what attracted them to the comic book series, and why AMC proved the perfect network to bring it to life.
Learn from Production Designer Greg Melton what it takes to turn downtown Atlanta into an apocalyptic wasteland, and from Consulting Producer and Special FX Make-Up Designer Greg Nicotero what makes The Walking Dead’s walkers so unique.
“The Walking Dead” comic creator Robert Kirkman and artist Charlie Adlard, meanwhile, share their amazement over how true to the series the television show is, and how the actors’ physcial similarities to their sketches inspired the Comic Con poster.
