On the upcoming release party and comic conventions

These are busy times for the Night Zero team, and we’ve got some very exciting events coming up in the next few months. Production on episode four continued with a shoot at the old Sandpoint Way Naval Base last weekend, including some exciting smoke and fire effects for a dramatic scene near the end of the episode. This brings the shooting schedule of the episode at around 80% complete, although curiously it’s the middle and end portions that are complete, and the opening scenes that remain to be shot. Episode four, titled “Insecurity”, will begin its online run in four weeks.

On the story concept for the “Special Delivery” vignette, and comparisons to past vignettes

Each vignette has its own origin story and purpose in the Night Zero world, and this newest is no exception. Jezebel was produced as a replacement for the untitled vignette (which was repeatedly postponed due to inclement weather), and its function was to tell a story of the night itself and how it changed the individual survivor’s world. The untitled vignette, in turn, was conceived and submitted by a fan writer, and was chosen for production as a means to introduce a zombie-centric story into our zombie-themed comic. Sisters was developed over many months as a full-scale endeavor and sought to broaden the relationship establishment and backstory of two known characters. The inception of “Special Delivery” was purely a matter of utility, and its purpose was to experiment with a brand-new production technique while throwing a different angle on the ‘messenger’ lore of the Night Zero world.

On the upcoming release of Night Zero: Volume Two

The title says it all. We are less than a month away from the official release of Night Zero: Volume Two, and are now accepting preorders for this gorgeous volume of collected works. At 190 pages, this book is twice the size of our first volume and contains everything that Night Zero produced in our second year. It’s not cheap for an independent production to self-publish a book of this caliber, printed right here in the USA, and your preorders help make it possible. Every preordered copy will be signed by the cast and crew, shipped free anywhere in the continental US, and include admission (and perks) at the release party in Seattle on March 6th.
