Hey All,

I need your help! I've submitted a special 3-minute clip called "THE UNINVITED" for the Diary of the Dead video competition. If it wins, the clip will be featured on the DVD release of the film. Please please please show your support! WATCH this clip and then RATE it (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=27328476)!

It features scenes from DEADSCAPES 2 in a special edit I did for this competition. Don't worry, 3 minutes wasn't enough time to spoil the ending (condensing down from 35 minutes was quite a task!) but I hope you enjoy the clip anyhow.

The competition ends on February 29, 2008 so please check it out soon!

Yeah, it's an official entry now. Although as I've said, seems like the propaganda flow of a site like MySpace seems a bit lopsided. Everyone is logging in and voting for their friends and voting down the competition. I'm not expecting to win. But the most disappointing thing will likely be my desire for a fair shake. But that's how it goes. *shrugs*

Good luck with that Sir Evil and cheers for the little scope into Deadscapes 2. Now I finally understand the serial killer/zombie uprising plotline that you was trying to describe a while back. It's an original idea and definitely a thumbs up from me!

Thanks for the props! Although, perhaps it's too novel of an idea. Zombie buffs are likely to get it - a plot that actually hasn't been done yet. But the general public seems to be scratching their heads considering the rating it's getting.

True, it is a novel idea and the ratings are to be expected for a movie with a plotline of such. In regards to the small snippet you made as The Uninvited, I had no trouble with it personally and find the idea of a sicko prowling the streets during a zombie uprising quite interesting.

It's a double threat and that makes room for maximum gore/horror. :evil:

Again, thanks. Hopefully for the duration of the contest, more people will feel even remotely similar. Especially considering some of the competition involved.

I found it fun; I'm a zombie whore.

But this won ? No offense, but this is the lowest common denominator of amatuer filmmaking.

Bad audio, bad acting, less than rudiment storytelling techniques ...

:annoyed: :rolleyes:

Yes, It was fun, sorry for honest opinion. :o

*ahem*

It's picked for the list to choose from for the final one ... and dare I use that classic HPOTD line, 'what have you done that's better'?

Not getting all bitchy, so don't read an inflection into that comment that's not there ... I just wanted to put that out there, heck, it'd be put out there eventually.

Okay, I'll bite.

Better is subjective; but can we agree that in order to have an opinion, one musn't be superior ?

In other words, I know my ****e is stinky. :lol: But I'm still honing.
