1. ‘End Is Here’
Script by Phoenix Smith and Aaron Newbigging
Location 1: Landscape
Zombie# 1 walks through an empty landscape slowly. He wears a hoodie, hood up so we can’t see
his face. He’s walking slowly, shuffling along, but we can’t yet see that he’s a Zombie.
Location 2: Secure facility gate
…He comes across a secure facility, surrounded by a metal mesh fence, “Danger” signs plastered
over it. He stops and looks in, before carrying on his way.
Location 3: Abandoned Area
We move across an assortment of abandoned objects, books and toys and clothes, ending on
Zombie #2 crouching on the ground. Like the first Zombie we can’t see his face. He’s staring down at
his shoes, holding the laces in his hand. He has no idea what to do with them. He tries to sort of
mash them together, no luck.
Zombie #1 is still walking sort of limping, a shot is seen of a small amount of blood running down his
hand. In the background we can now see huge chimneys belching toxic fumes into the air and toxic
warning signs driven into the ground; clues in the build-up to the Zombie reveal.
Zombie #1 stops walking, noticing a guitar on the ground, the camera is positioned in a way so the
guitar is in focus in the foreground and Zombie #1’s face is out of focus in the background, but it is
possible to see that his face is pale and his eyes are dark.
Zombie #2 hears Zombie #1 walking towards the guitar in the distance, he lets go of his shoe laces
and gets up looking around and spots an abandoned guitar in the distance.
The two zombies both reach for the guitar. They look up and see each other, and reveal their faces
to the camera. Here we see they’re Zombies. They look down to see they both have their hands on
the guitar; it’s a fight.
Here the video speeds up, quickly intercutting between these scenes;
- Location 1: Abandoned Area
The Zombies fight over the abandoned items, fighting/playing. Zombie #1 steals the others arm and
runs off with it, Zombie #2 looks down at where his arm used to be and looks confused and looks up
at the other zombie with disgust.
The Zombies find tennis rackets and attempt a friendly game of tennis using the detached arm as a
ball, but end up just hitting each other.
- Location 2: Secure facility gate
They return to the facility gate and start beating on it in time to the beat of the song. They’re having
fun whilst doing it, not really trying to get in, just bashing on the gate for laughs.
2. - Location 3: Landscape #2
The two Zombies preform a mini concert for the old teddy, bashing at their instruments and not
really playing at all, Zombie #2 is playing the guitar well trying to, and Zombie #1 is bashing ta drum
in time with the song. As they build to a big finish the guitar wielding Zombie pulls up the
instrument, ready to smash it down.
- Location 4: Empty Street
The video ends on an empty town street. The two Zombies walk down the street and off into the
distance. In the background a nuclear bomb explodes, fading the screen out to white.
