Fan-Made ‘Walking Dead’ Opening Credits Are Scary-Good

Daniel M. Kanemoto is an award winning writer/director whose diverse body of work
(from feature films to national commercial campaigns) has been featured
on television channels and film festivals around
the world.  After attending this year’s Comic-Con and being taken by Drew Struzan’s “Walking Dead” poster for the series, he was inspired to animate a spec version of the opening credits, using the original art straight from the comics by illustrators Charlie Adlard and Tony Moore.  What he completed is an amazing professional opening credits sequence that should, quite honestly, replace whatever AMC has planned for their sequence.  And while this is utterly and completely a fan-made work, it has already garnered the attention of Tony Moore who said on the Vimeo page featuring the work “this seriously blows my mind. i’ve scarcely seen
my artwork brought to life like this, and never with such style.”  Check it out for yourself, and if Robert Kirkman or Frank Darabont get wind of this…see if you guys can pull some strings to get this on the show when it airs Halloween Night at 10pm EST.  Or at least hire this guy.  Oh, and the choice of “Fresh Blood” by Eels is FANTASTIC.
