I am a sucker for any post-apocalyptic story. So "Yay!", for The Silent City. A new web series in the works that centers around 1 man along in a broken and empty New York City (a dream of mine, ever since I moved here :P). Why do you as a filmmaker care? Well, the series will include filmmaking tutorials on things like: how to turn an actor into a zombie, how to create a destroyed Empire State Building using 3D effects software and what ever else takes, director Rubidium Wu's fancy, along the way. See the trailer and first BTS tutorial below and be sure to leave your comments.
Have you ever wanted to be a zombie?

Cleanly technical work rendering the classic Empire State Building. Masterful detail.
I was, however, hopping for more drama in the promo itself, especially as it's to serve as a teaser.
