More
about the film:
Made by physicists, it is set at the Large Hadron Collider, and centres
around zombies created by exposure to the newly-discovered Higgs boson. Writer
and director Luke Thompson, a University of Manchester Ph.D. student,
originally conceived the idea in February 2010, after joking that the tunnels
under CERN would be ideal for a zombie film. With a budget of approximately
£2000 and a regular cast and crew of only 20, the team built a camera
shoulder-mount from copper pipes, made fake blood from golden syrup, and
scavenged props from dumpsters. It was shot on borrowed digital SLRs including
the Canon 5D Mark 2: consumer cameras which have recently been used to shoot
parts of movies such as Iron Man 2, Black Swan and the season 6 finale of TV
series House. Editing and digital effects were done on a home computer with
Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Now it’s time to enjoy Decay…
