This was a fun and interesting take on the zombie short film genre. The film is set up as an interview with a real life zombie as he tries to go through his day to day routine. And you can imagine there are many struggles a zombie would have with everyday things. All this is discussed between the interviewer and Ted, as we get an inside look of what zombies are really like. I recommend people give this film a watch as it's short, it's funny, and it's clever. Kind of like me, apart from the funny and clever bit. 
The only problems I had with the film are it would of been nice if the make up could of extended beyond the zombie's face. Instead of looking just undead in the head.
I did discover a very similar short film called "Zombie-American" that pre-dates "Undead Ted". In my opinion "Undead Ted" was funnier and more clever. So all they did was make a good idea better.

ZombiesDrule - Your role was?
Daniel Knight - Director, editor, writer and acted the main guy.  Ego much?

How did this film come about?
Myself and Dale Bamford - a close mate and FX Artist - were getting extremely hammered one night and we were trying to figure out what to do with some excess latex we had from a previous shoot.  One thing led to another and I eventually got plastered in latex... and the character of Ted was born!  We ambled through the streets and hung around the train station that night, with Ted explaining to the world at large his unique perspective on un-life.  We knew we had to revisit the concept much later on and do it justice!

Where was it filmed? How did you find the cast?
If was filmed around a lot of the suburbs I grew up in as a kid, as well as the Melbourne CBD.  When we created the character I was drawing from a lot of my own personal experiences growing up - it was only logical I continue playing the role.  The unseen interviewer was an actor who had auditioned for me previously.

What were some of the difficulties faced in shooting the movie?
The entire film was ad libbed - so that was a bit of a difficulty.  Although I had a rough idea of the points I wanted to make, and somewhat of their arc, it would take a bit of experimenting to reach them all in a logical flowing manner.
It was also shot in over an entire day, so we ended up with an insane amount of footage that needed to be edited.  Being stuck under heavy makeup for that length of time under the Australian sun can put a bit of strain on things too.

What is next for you? What will your next movie be?
We're currently in the middle of production for an epic fantasy short called Troll Bridge.  It has huge war scenes, giant barbarians, CG trolls, talking horses and all sorts of crazy stuff.  It was adapted from a short story by Terry Pratchett.  You can find a teaser trailer for it here:  http://www.snowgumfilms.com/trollbridge/trailers.html

What advice can you give to anyone thinking of making a short film?
Go crazy nuts with it!  Don't let limitations get in the way - all you need is persistence!  And surround yourself with people much more talented than you to help you fulfill the vision!
Oh - and work on your f*cking script!  The film will never - EVER - be better than your script, so if you're script is half arsed, don't expect the rest of the film will be able to life it.  Seriously, your script is really f*cking important - don't underestimate it!

How long do you think it'd take you to turn?
Two weeks.  And it would be painful.

Which do you prefer Fast or Slow Zombies?
Depends on the content of the film.  I'm a huge fan of 28 Days Later AND Night Of The Living Dead.  Go figure...

What is your weapon of choice for taking on Zombies?
A weed-whacker!  Not exactly the most effectual weapon, but I don't believe in doing things the easy way.

What is your favourite Zombie Film?
Braindead (AKA Dead Alive).  For me this is actually my favorite Jackson creation.  The physical comedy and sheer inventiveness is second to none!

Worst Zombie Film?
I have a couple... Black Sheep is one of them.  For some reason I got it into my mind it would be in the vein of Re-Animator... or even Undead for that matter.  It was unfortunately a lot more base than I was expecting.  I've met plenty of people who love that film though - so perhaps I went into it with the wrong expectations...

Favorite Zombie Book or Game?
Silent Hill.  Loving the series...

Final Say?
Don't give into the rot!
