BAD WEEK is an animated dark comedy short told from the other side of the apocalypse. Three zombies share lunch at an abandoned food court and swap stories about their terrible week: an awkward encounter with a fleeing human, a hunt ruined by a loyal guard dog (who is now an unwanted pet), and a "perfect" ambush that turned out to be a military trap. Just as they conclude humans aren't worth the trouble — a survivor who has been listening the whole time delivers the film's final review. Produced solo in 72 hours with a cinematography-first pipeline: original character sheets, 9-panel storyboards, and shot-by-shot prompts with locked spatial geography, chest-rig POV camera work, and strict continuity rules. Video generated with Seedance on fal; several action sequences were generated on Higgsfield after repeated 422 moderation errors on safe content (reported in Discord). Voices re-dubbed with ElevenLabs for cross-clip consistency, music via Suno, edited in CapCut. ARCANE-inspired painterly style, built entirely from original character designs.
