Helen and I sat down on the back porch on last Sunday morning and played with this new zombie haiku. I liked it so much that I had to make a SPECIAL video haiku for it.

Now, I like playing a good video game and there aren't many games better for pure shooting cheap thrill fun than Left 4 Dead. Its the closest thing I've seen to being a character in a zombie film. So anyway, I found some video capture software and set off to make some zombie movie footage for this video haiku.

Finding the music for this project was an adventure. I have never tried to put together anything like this before and I wanted a musical soundtrack that would fit its zombie genre. I didn't want to steal a song, but I was unfamiliar with the rules surrounding the use of other people's work. Helen hooked me up with an organization called Creative Commons. This is a non-profit organization that provides alternative, less restrictive copyright licenses to artists who want their work to be used and built upon by others. In most cases, all they ask for is attribution and that the work that it is used for is similarly licensed. Creative Commons has a MARVELOUS search engine which allowed me to quickly find a selection of music I could choose from for my video. The song I chose was "I Want To Destroy Something Beautiful" by Josh Woodward. All of the music on the album is good.

I got most of the still images via the same search engine. Most were in Flickr. Thanks to chandrika221, kevindooley, neil banas, Morning theft and Wellcome Images. I also got some nice images from Wikimedia Commons.

The video's probably a little too long, but the song was so good that I didn't want to fade it out early. If you don't like simulated zombie blood and gore, don't watch this video.
