The lack of real zombies in our planet calls for artistic answers to bring the undead apocalypse to film. This is especially interesting since one of the most popular shows on television mostly depends on green screen technology, particularly for producing its bleak metropolitan scenes. Finding and securing whole cities for filming presents practical difficulties, hence this method not only makes sense but also necessary. The flexibility of current visual effects is shown by the team's ability to create plausible post-apocalyptic settings using studio environments. Combining digital environment improvement with realistic makeup effects for the zombies produces a plausible universe that supports the gritty, realistic tone of the programme while keeping total control over the filming surroundings.
