Cook Creative Media rolls out some new concept art for "Dead in the Water"]]>Tue, 04 Dec 2012 07:21:42 GMThttp://www.cookcreativemedia.com/1/post/2012/12/zombies-cook-creative-media-rolls-out-some-new-concept-art-for-dead-in-the-water.htmlHere is some new concept art by Gair Cook for the feature film "Dead In The Water" directed by Steven Baker. Bloated Navy Zombies and doomed heroes fighting to survive make for some stunning visuals and a whole lot of fun.

Every good zombie flick needs a overwhelming siege by an endless horde of undead savages.

This is the face of rotting death. Delicious!

There's nowhere to run when you're stuck in the open ocean.

When life is good and no one wants to eat your face. Cheers!!!

This guy was more like a pondering Grandpa Zombie than a brain eating demon from hell. REJECTED!!!!

This is a bloated zombie close-up that seemed a little too cute for a scary horror fest. Gimme a hug, Chubs!!!

Here's a taste of some things we've added...
Picture
When we moved from Auckland to Melbourne Lydia's computer chair got lost in transit. For almost a year now she's been sitting on a plastic chair and complaining about having a num bum. But not anymore!!! We got her a new and improved chair with all the trimmings.
Picture
We got a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet with touch features for our Laptop. This is perfect for editing photos and for Gair to do illustrations when he is away from his creative command centre. Now there are no excuses to take a day off, instead he can work all the time ;)      
Cook Creative Media, bamboo, Wacom, Gair Cook, Lydia Cook
We were sick of keeping our books and Movies in boxes so we  got a big white cupboard with doors on the front to hide all our files/mess. Now we have all of our reference materials ready at a moments notice. Inspiration whenever we need it. YAY!!!!
By the way if your office is messier than ours don’t worry this is the tiredest our office ever get’s!!!
Have a happy Monday, from the Cook Creative Media team x
