We're back from SIGGRAPH 2003 San Diego, where we gave a
sneak peak of "Day Off The Dead" at the Hash user group and
Film Festival. It was received with much applause and fanfare! We can only hope that this signals the start of a successful
run for the short film.
Also, while out at SIGGRAPH 2003 Jeffrey gave a "Making of.." demo
at the Hash booth; complete with screening and exclusive behind-the-scenes goodies!! This, along with "animation techniques"
will be sold along with other great demo's on tape and DVD from Hash's website soon!
While festival submissions have been ongoing, we've started to receive submission invitations! So be sure to check out the press section
to see where we'll be in the up coming weeks!
So keep checking back! The store is still to come, as well as what we hope to be more "value added" content! Lots more to update!
Also, the Crew would like to thank everyone who's been flooding us with email's to congratulate us on the film! It's been
an overwhelming response and we're just thankful!

All the links on the bottom navigation bar should be working now! We've uploaded an assortment of stills for you're enjoyment!
The crew and contact sections are up as well! To satisfy the need for movement, we've uploaded the "Day Off The Dead" trailer!

goodies uploaded when we return! Also, behind-the-scenes, production artwork, storyboards.. and tons more!

"Day Off The Dead" is a wrap! We're here to tell you it looks awesome! Now that we are showing the film there are new things in the works for "Day Off The Dead"!!
Web Updates: This site is getting an overhaul, which will allow us to update new content much more efficiently! Expect updates as often as news occurs.
We're real proud of the our previous site, but realized that the amount of time it took to update could have been better spent in production...so updates were slow and far between. This time it'll be different! So keep checking back and we'll keep updating!!
In the near future we'll be offering the "Day Off The Dead" Swag Store, allowing everyone to sport around showing their Dead Spirit! Also, the Windows "Day Off The Dead" Theme including, sounds, desktops, cursors, and icons will be available for download! Later this week I will upload a host of new Promotional Hi-Resolution stills from the film! All new content, and we're really excited about it!!
Sneak Peak! If you are in San Diego next week, stop on by the convention center and visit us at the Hash booth at
Siggraph 2003!
We'll be talking Tuesday and Wednesday at 5pm about the making of "Day Off The Dead".
We'll also be showing scenes at the booth, and giving a complete viewing at the Hash User's Group Meeting!
So tell all your friends and keep checking back!!
Thanks from all the DeadFolk here at "Day Off The Dead"
