[chingstar0hi]

you are really stupid why didn't you take the god damn gun

[juankenon]

this was a thousand times better than that POS movie

[FDAdenied]

This is actually pretty good ^_^ Would you have any problem with me using clips from this in a collaborative project of my own I'm working on? I promise I'll credit and cite where due <3

[FDAdenied]

@FDAdenied Oh, and I caught the "Romero park" joke :p whether intentional or not, it was witty!

[michaelkelly007]

good stuff, well done

[MusicMan53100]

Nice ending, but you forgot abt the cloth on your hand when you ran outside to go see the helicopter or planes or whatever. I mean, wouldnt you still be wearing it. Sorry, my OCD just wont let me ignroe those little things and enjoy the film. If I dont comment on it, itll bug me all day!

[roshinishah]

Hey I am from the Usha Pravin Gandhi College Of Management, Mumbai, India..i really liked your film..We have an international short film making competition in our fest 'Aahan' coming up soon..Pls let me know if you are interested to participate..Waitin for your response!!

[JinKsed17]

That headshot at the end was super exagerated.... the voice acting sucked too...

[kiforcekhan]

awesome short!

[amackillican13]

Romero Park, ROFL!

[crusherc77]

Should of took the m4

[WARXDEVILXALAN]

Why did they have to nuke the fucking plase

[TheComedown25]

This was awesome :D

[TheJamesmattin]

This is amazing!

[swimfastfly27]

At 1:14, Should have played a Tallahasee and strummed a banjo to make sure no ones there

[imoveatparaderest]

"Fast zombies suck"

[Appclypse]

Not bad but was a bit corny, don't think the god bless america was necessary.

[beckerisfly]

oh yes it was shows what our gov and country will resort 2 in time of need a mostlikely there mistake

[Appclypse]

That makes it no less corny

[Phill1794]

i think it was meant to be sarcastic since he thinks rescue is coming, sees the nuke and says "pft...god bless america", then he gets blown up

[PhotographyByJob]

Badass! So freaking scary! Loved it!

[dracotharpian]

nice job! what kind of camera did you use to shoot this? did you shoot in 24 progressive or 30?

[direwolf83]

one thing i don't get about all these zombie movies is all the military has to do to end it is use armored vehicles and tanks equipped with flamethrower and machine guns there you go no one can be turned into zombies in armored vehicles and helicopters

[DKaidian]

@direwolf83 I've always thought that too, but, realistically, a lot of that stuff is out of the budget range of most zombie films.

[finndineen]

You cant send people into solve a zombie sit rep. All you can do is blow it up, the more people you send means the more zombies there will be.

[DoomEgg]

He was a lone survivor, not a soldier. He asked for help and they nuked him instead.

[nocturnGER]

Is that the reason because he can`t remember his name in FALLOUT? Or are this two different movies with the same theme?

[warlockbcrich69]

that was truely amzing... u got talent :P u should rlly look into making this ur full carreer :P u'd do amazing

[chrisdavidi]

yeah i've said this on the 'making of' video but yeah . . . very impressive for amature film!

[Rotanewra]

cool!

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment! I appreciate it! Glad you liked it!

[Soothpork4life]

im confused can you please explain the ending?

[LeCollectionneurDeBD]

The army is coming to save the world. The final day.

[Soothpork4life]

so "saving" is actually "destroying"?

[LeCollectionneurDeBD]

I think, its the only way.

[Soothpork4life]

why not just send army men down to shoot them one by one?

[kingredrider1]

and what then ? risk more humans and military ? or 1 nuke that ends it all.

[bigsmoke53]

kill few, save alot

[Phamster92]

Hey congrats on winning the contest. You vid was absoluetely amazing. Hope I can find the time to make a zombie short some day.

Question though. No minded you running around with a realistic looking firearm?

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much for the support! I wouldn't recommend running around with realistic looking guns. We did, in an empty park, with a prop, but I can't recommend it to people. It's dangerous.

[monkeybottomsTV]

that was freakin awesome!!!

[pdelvecchio814]

Wow! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate the support! Glad you liked it!

[DrZann]

this was great, saw it on my copy of Diary of the Dead. Really cool. ending was predictable though, the 'big bad US Army' nuking american soil to either try to stop a viral threat or cover up their mess. Awesome way to end it, but also very impossible... then again flesh eating zombies are impossible too. XD congrats on winning. ^^

[odensfury]

O..MY....GOD. that was awsome for only being a a video thats only 3 and a half minutes long. good job

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate it! =)

[zuschlag123]

Holy shit nice done ! Its fucking nice

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support. As I said above, we tried to entertain the fans of these films! Glad we accomplished that! And we appreciate the support!

[sergenpoopy]

great job dude i fucking love it!!!!

[pdelvecchio814]

I'm glad you like it so much! That's what we're trying to do. Entertain those who are fans of these movies! I'm glad we have accomplished that! I appreciate the support!

[nymafia93]

...great watched it on the diary of the dead last night it was great i loved the sarcasm in "god bless america" just great art hopefully theyll be more zombies shorts from you?

[arrshuu]

like a professional.

Nice angle shoot.

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words! I'm glad you like it!

[jordantrey7]

Good job Paul, very sad and realistic.

I like zombie movies.

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Realistic, maybe. Aside from the handgun making the zombie head explode but it was for a Romero DVD. Body parts rip off a little more easily in Romero films =)

[LobsterFusion]

Very well done. I didn't think it'd be that good considering how short it was but I was wrong. Way to go, and good job on the win. :D

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much! Yeah, 3 minutes is really hard to tell a story and showcase your stuff but that was our goal, showcase action, story, acting, filmmaking in general, and a message.

Thanks again! I appreciate it!

[ohhbehave83]

Fun stuff Paul. I follow along on the DV Rebel's forum. :)

[pdelvecchio814]

Oh cool! Great to meet a fellow Rebel. What do you go by on the forum?

[surv1ver]

awsome hope you make it big in the movie buisness its such a sad story though 5/5

[Gorrz]

Amazing work, it proves that still in this day and age, perfection can be made, without a billion dollar budget. This isnt easy for me to say, im very critical of such things, but..thank you. Thank you for this Film.

Also, the end line, was NOT in poor taste, it was truely a cap to this wonderful film, thank you. I truely hope you find your place in film history, and become a director past any to date. This is just youtube, but zombies are just part of your roots, dont forget them! :)

[pdelvecchio814]

WOW! Oh man, that's such a great compliment! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you liked it that much!

Thanks again! It's people like you that keep me going!

[NorwegianDirector]

this was just great!!

[pdelvecchio814]

Wow! Glad you liked it and thanks so much for checking it out!

[berserker2391]

slow load..i didnt like the storyline. it was well done, everything was fantastic except the storyline and the god bless america part was stupid

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks for checking it out, though! Obviously it might not be for everyone but I'm glad there were aspects of it that you liked! It also means a lot that you took the time to check it out! Thanks so much!

[drummingpariah]

That was absolutely amazing! I'm not used to seeing shorts that are easy to follow (especially zombie shorts). I'm quite impressed.

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out. Also, thanks for the kind words! We have a bunch of other stuff coming out soon so check back! We have a TON of stuff in the works!

[drummingpariah]

Well, I've subscribed and shown this video to a handful of friends, and everybody's looking forward to it. Keep up the good work, and don't sacrifice your vision for anything or anyone.

[LoserStatus]

Very well made!

[pdelvecchio814]

Thanks for checking it out and thanks for the kind words!
