Zack Snyder Breaks Down Army of the Dead's Epic Opening Titles | Snyder School | Netflix
/ netflixfilmclub
After a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries takes the ultimate gamble by venturing into the quarantine zone for the greatest heist ever.
Give me all the Zack Snyder content. Netflix is killing it.
Stupid and Wrong.
Yes.
Zack is the Master of Intros, but especially Watchmen has the best Movie-Intro ever
Eu gosto tregrrtrt
Indeed
For me Sucker Punch is his best.
@Shimaz Munshi Not really. He just doesn't spoon-feed the audience. Leaves intentional clues for fans to digest and ponder upon.
For me its Batman vs Superman
Say what you want about Zack Snyder, that man loves movies, and that is more important than any practical technique
Oh yeah. I don’t think his films are some kind of groundbreaking hidden genius. But they are uniquely his and they have heart. They’re made with care and they keep you intrigued even after leaving the theater. Great great love poured into his films
That Watchmen opening montage might be the best in any movie, ever made. It's surreal. Army of the Dead isn't far behind.
No lies detected. The absolute best. There’s sooo much detail in the Watchmen opening title sequence! Especially that JFK assassination re-enactment.
There should be a show of Zack simply talking about stuff.
I agree
This is a really good idea. Netflix you should do this
Spastik only when he’s passionate he can’t talk for hours 🙃
yeah. no kidding.. i would leave zack live in my house free of rent if he just told me some stories haha
Feel the same way about Quentin, I could hear him talk about anything honestly, his passion is captivating
LOVED the opening title sequence for Army! May even put it up there with Watchmen honestly. I thought having the main characters holding a picture frame of their families for a photo shoot was very cool and creative. Zack’s best as a visual storyteller so he really made that entire opening shine as bright as it could. And so happy for Dave Bautista absolutely crushing it in the leading role!!
NETFLIX knows what fans want. I can watch Zack talking about the movies all day.
The man is a legend
@@badampshk he is a hack
I just wish he could learn to tell a story in the correct way . Army of the Dead had sooooo many interesting story points that were great and far more interesting than the heist but he didn't pay any of it off . That is the stuff i wanted more of (Aliens/Area 51, the Zombie hierarchy/zombie baby, the tiger/horse , the terminator like zombies , the desiccated zombie rain tease , etc ) that ended up being pointless . The way the film ended up i am not even sure why he put it all in
@@Deaconherbz you do realize it’s the first film in a new franchise right? Snyder always puts in details that get explained or further explored in sequels. Like you would in a franchise.
@@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT I don't agree with that argument . Give me a complete fully fleshed out story with all the pays offs that i end up loving . Then hit me with the "franchise" train that i will be fully into cause of all the pay offs already served to me . That is how you sell it . Give me all the great things in one film and then hit me with MORE of that same stuff in the future . The way this film ended up it seemed more like a pilot that they were not even sure was going to go anywhere . This movie had zero pay off of any of those things and has killed any interest i have in what may or may not even happen . The worst part is i know he can make a great zombie movie ( Dawn of the Dead ) he just clearly can't write one
the fact that WB constantly questioned him snd netflix is asking him to go all out and doing these kind of videos is exactly why WB turned into a joke under the newer managements lately
Snyder delivered two DC films that had mediocre reviews and box office results. He made WB a joke.
Snyder delivered 3 masterpieces for WB, but they only interested in mediocre cringe comedy. They're the real jokers here.
@@Thefutureending wrong again
@@xac1930 3 masterpeices with bad reviews and a mediocre box office? Can you tell me what you see in those films that the critics and general audience doesn’t?
@@Thefutureending so you are saying that WB in its entirety is a joke due to snyder somehow and if they were mediocre fans wouldnt trust him more than a company with a plethora of directors at its expense but hey u do u
We need more Snyder School. Maybe you could make a series directors talk about the process of filming. Let's start with Zack Snyder
@Spastik Cool I just want more Snyder content.
@Spastik he needs to make more movies...
Yes this is episode 1 they will release 4 episode
@@justiceleague-wo1zs Yup I Agree Zack Snyder Needs To Make More Blast Movies
Notice how it says episode 1? That means there's going to be more. They're literally doing what you're asking for right now lol.
Zack looks so much happier here at Netflix! I'm so glad he's able to bring his vision to light without studio meddling!
I truly agree, I hope Netflix does more epic movies with him
Zack Snyder is just phenomenal, not only is he super talented he’s just a really nice guy. So much energy and passion for his craft. His fans are so lucky to have such a dedicated artist like him to be entertained by. Glad Netflix welcomed him with open arms. Netflix knows what they are doing , and so does Zack !
and most important thing is that he don't care about the tons of hate he received on the daily basis. he has such positive mindset, he doesn't focus on negativity
Jesus Christ you snyder cultists are stupid. I cannot believe anyone with other 40 IQ could ever enjoy piece of shit movies like Army of the Dead.
@@SuperFlawless2010 i would rather be called a cultist than being so egotistical to the point where you can't stand seeing people enjoy what's enjoyable to them. sounds familiar? like you 😂 let us enjoy what we want, if you think the movie is shit then it's fine. but what makes you think if you don't enjoy it other people must not as well?? the world don't revolve around you. not everyone has to like only what you like. my guy you're the definition of R-to-the-E-to-the-T-to-theARD. i would spell it straight out but youtube won't allow, so yeah, just so you know your attitude is the R word
@@SuperFlawless2010 stop crying loser
@@SuperFlawless2010 stop whining you petulant child. Go watch whatever garbage shit you like , nobody’s stopping you.
Zack Snyder is a genius. All the opening scenes are masterpieces. And it is incredibly detailed.
@Shimaz Munshi to you. Try to pay attention next time.
@@ndo533 look at the critic and audience scores, his movies suck
@Shimaz Munshi To u cause your dumb
@@TTx04xCOBRA I looked and they have great rating NGL so fact check pls
Mate did u stop to think hey the robotic zombies are there to get u thinking so people excitingly anticipate a petential army of the dead two did u think maybe u weren't supposed to know the answer yet duuuhhh
After seeing some videos and movies I became inspired to write my own movie thanks to Zack Snyder.
I just love the way Zack talks about his work - you can tell he loves movies and filmmaking so much.
I need part two of this series like right now
Na Wao !
so were is the netflix series of zack just talking about movies huh?
This is it.
I wanted this kind of content from Zack for years. Keep it coming, Netflix
his DC movies failed
@@TTx04xCOBRA you feel better being a horrible person on the internet? Seek help, no one loves people like you
@@Danidrom No one loves snyder movies
This movie was terrible lol
@@TTx04xCOBRA Yet here you are. I don´t like kpop music and I never went to BTS videos to say no one loves them, I know that's not true. Looks like Zack lives rent free in your mind because you love him more than any of us his fans. But keep lying to yourself if that hurts you so much, hope someday you can be a decent person :)
I think Batman v Superman is definitely one of his best opening sequences
Watchmen tho
Ever
Probably my most favorite opening of Snyder's films
Sucker Punch is his best IMO along with watchmen
I agree.
It would be great if they do an episode on how they digitally inserted Tig Notaro into the film. A lot of her shots with the other actors looked seamless!
check his vanity fair interview.
I can listen to Zack Snyder talk about films all day
you've got to love zack snyder, he is the best
I love this, Netflix is milking Zack and Army and I love every part of this!
As they should! WB needs to take notes on how to treat the creators they hire.
@@lesley1204 the executives were/are a-holes
@@viperapexpredator9247 sadly yes
@@lesley1204 he made them consecutive flops and underperforming films only after that did they begin treating him like shit
Army of dead is the most boring and shittiest lazy film made by Snyder ! He milked Netflix instead !
After multiple viewings of both Zack's Dawn and Army, it's clear that Dawn was definitely the superior film from almost every angle, but Army was just so much pure insanity and fun that I can't hate it.
That's because dawn had a blueprint to go off of seeming its a remake. Where as army was just him so it was full of potholes.
@@zueicidesin2573 those were intentional plotholes, if you realized it wasn't a zombie heist movie but more of a zombie tenet, all scenes were mix of different timelines, it was so obvious
@@anmatrix5207 Mix of different timelines? How so? I'm curious how you came to that conclusion other than Vanderohe's philosophical speech in the vault room. One of the reasons I loved the film was BECAUSE of all the random batshit insane things that are never questioned or addressed in any way
@@perrybb2 if you carefully saw the movie, remember one thing, chambers never shot a zombie later blasted multiple? Vanderohe never got bit but at end he was, remember what deiter called the vault, gateway to another realm, then threw van in to save him, he never got bit but after he came out, he was. There are literal articles pumping out about this, again deiter lied about his past, he already cracked 3 such vaults and knew about timeloop all along, vanderohe first put up the theory, and acted too wierd, he even knew about the bomb timing change without going up, when zeus picked him up they both looked same, even the name of the vault literally means twilight of the gods, as deiter said rebirth or destruction And zack did tease a lot of that on latest fim junkee livestream, even teased that deiter is alive. Those skeletons if you saw, specially the ones of Cruz, the one at table had 2 holes in key, one that reached vault had 3,the one the alive one was wearing was 4,maybe number of loop Those literal forced decisions like those flash multiverse stuff in comics, destined to happen
@@anmatrix5207 i think a lot of that is just Snyder being Snyder and waxing philosophical without any real depth. It doesn't explain the robo-zombos (probably my biggest unanswered question of the film), or the UFOs, or the zombie baby (which was fascinating, but really weird btw), or Zeus's blue brain matter, or the overall nonsensical motivations of Martin and Tanaka (i mean, surely if the military were the ones who accidentally released the zombie outbreak in the first place they would have another sample on hand), or Vanderohe escaping from the vault which would without a doubt have an automatic locking system once closed, or Vanderohe surviving walking through irradiated ash and fallout after he miraculously escaped from the vault, or Vanderohe's extensive transformation time period after he was bit (which seemed like it took at least an entire day or so, which I'm sorta willing to give a pass since people said the radiation messed with his infection process) or any of the other crazy unexplained things.
It shows how much he believes in his work.
I read that he wants to do a movie about George Washington in the style of 300......I would be all for that!
The man on the piano was my favorite part, reminds me of the musician group from Titanic
Lmao That’s supposed to be Liberace
"i didn't go to film school i went to snyder school"- quentin tarantino
Great investment on Netflix's side. This man is a gem.
Netflix really doesn't miss with the Zack content Keep that shit coming!
Netflix giving us everything that WB refuses 👏👏👏👏
I mean WB has standards
Look to history movies like troy , blade runner , once upon a time in America butchered by WB
@@ErenTheWarcriminal oh sure. Really LOW standards. They prefer narcissist, sociopaths, sexual predators, bullies...
@@ErenTheWarcriminal WB Sucks
A film school made by Snyder? King
Stone Quarry Filmmaking School Principle Zack Snyder Lol I'd go haha
Oh my god this documentary is just AMAZING, from the bottom of my heart thank you to everyone at Netflix for treating Zack and his films in the best possible way, it's beautiful to see it as a fan of him
Awesome that Netflix appreciates Zack's way of story telling
Using the song to set the construct and content of the sequence. Perfection.
*insert Fassbender gif*
It's almost as if he started his career as music video director or something.
It makes so much sense why he's so good at credit sequences. He's a music video director! Great video as always.
i can listen to this man all day. what a great movie!
same here!!!
It's not great, i love snyder but this movie is pointless
@@lestat2558 i loved it overall.
What happened to Geeta? A pointless movie.
Hiroyuki Sanada owns the vault and he didnt even give the code and even Dave Bautista team didnt ask for a code like WTF
Glad he mentioned his previous intros. To me, that’s what lets me know I’m in for one hell of a ride. Dawn’s intro painted a really frantic and disturbing feeling that stayed all throughout the film. Sucker Punch showed the exact contrast between the image of the film (sexy women with guns) and what the film really is (a dark and depressing fight for survival), I still think it’s one of my favorites. Army of the Dead painted this crazy, fun, apocalyptic action-frenzy, while slowly dissolving into a dark and depressing drama. Which again, stays within the film all the way through. Zack is a master at doing these things, and I will never get tired of admiring and overanalyzing his films.
Oh Zack Snyder - you rocked my world! Thank you so much for enjoying my silliness and taking me out of the background and on the camera and mic! You're a genius and I am so lucky to have worked with you in my film debut - and maybe swan-song LOL!
Zach should have late night like talk show...he's certainly entertaining and interesting ..always has been. I love him and his wife ...they work so well together
In all Zack Synder's movies I've seen so far, he incorporates lines that cuts deep to a listener. In 300 - "give them nothing but take from them...everything" and my favorite in Sucker Punch - "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"...damn Zack,I felt that!
This is amazing! I was really wanting an in depth behind the scenes of this movie, and now we're getting an episodic bts. Thank you!
I just want to say "Thank you Netflix" for beeing good to Zack. WB aka Toby Emmerick just plundered Zack emotionally. This has been such s triumph year for Zack and its very telling of studio culture based on who is proud of his success and who is loathing.
Indeed
I would watch a video of Zack going through a phonebook.
KEEP THESE COMING SNYDER CONTENT HELL YEAHHH
Netflix is ready to make AOTD2 if the fans ask for it.make a hash tag let's trend it
Netflix has done so much for Zack in a month than what WB has done in years
I can’t believe how many times I have watched another one of his movies over and over loll he gets me everytine 🤷♂️
Man Zack's passion for filmmaking is always on full display, I love it! Thanks for this Netflix.
He is such a good artist. We don't need Jim Lee to draw us JL comics. He can do it.
Yes he is a good artist but don't exaggerate 😄 Jim Lee? Please
I can sit in his office ALL DAY with him! Love when he's walking around not knowing where Watchmen is! Brilliant
Zack cares about cinema, he cares about ART. That's why he is my favorite director
Thank you Netflix for this great cool content and for supporting Zack. Always loved to see a breakdown of a scene or movie. #SnyderSchool
It is so comforting and pleasant to see Zack talk about his work, how you can tell that he loves what he does, and besides, he is always sincere, charismatic and always pleasant in spite of everything.
BvS' title sequence with the music and the pearls caught in the gun's hammer was so underrated
the title sequence was surprisingly interesting and weird, the portraitures broke the tone for me a bit. I was def. rooting for soccer mom, I felt the emotional beat. and I love the Watchmen title sequence. thanks Netflix😀
Zack Snyder's title sequences are just too iconic and so is soundtrack is just too cool❤️
WB: Zack who? Netflix: Zack, we need you on every piece of internet we can put you on.
Thank you for this netflix. Zack is such a master of his art, and watching him talk about the stuff that he likes its a treat!
THE ARMY VERSE IS RISING
YES NETFLIX keep dropping more of that Zack Snyder content 😍
It says a lot about someone's ability when they can confidently give free Master Classes without the fear of losing the crown of their artform! Snyder is a Genius 🙌🙌🙌👏
PLEEAASSEE GIVE US AOTD 2 WITH KING VANDEROHOE! Maybe even a 3rd? Thanks for supporting Zack and not being shit like WB aha! Favourite netflix movie and up there with my other favourites of all time
Great video! Zack's vision is amazing and seeing his concept art and storyboards also.. wow. Amazing
My film school was literally watching and studying Snyder's movies. Dropped out of college and made my own war film after being completely entranced by the unique look and feel of Watchmen. Thank you Netflix for supporting such an inspiring artist, absolutely can't wait to see what's next in the #AotD universe!
finally a school that i like :D
Incredible! This featurette is so cool and gives such value to watching the film (and all his films). I hope he gets to continue making cool shit with Netflix.
It amazes me what Zack can deliver, if he’s given full creative control. The movie is so epic and so fun. It’s an emotional roller-coaster packed with horror elements and well-crafted action sequences. The music is insanely good. Thank you @ZackSnyder.
Netflix knows what fan love about Snyder movies... I would love to see individual breakdown of scene over the course of time... Like wen we get prequel we get some more details and insight... Learn more about his style and approach. Concept to reality book should be available along with merchandise
My favorite Snyder film moment has to be the classic dual camera zoom in/slow-mo fight sequence in 300. So intense and visceral, it feels like the movie takes hold of you and pulls you into the screen! I also love the innovative way in which he shot that scene by using two cameras with differing focal lengths and then stitching them together to create the artificial crash zooms.
This is a great video. Please post more of these
Zack i love everyone of your opening sequences. I only do youtube videos but the opening sequences are very crucial for a good reception to the rest of the movie. Great job
Title sequences in movies are so important, sets the tone, get's you settled in your seat.
Excellent movie, phenomenal director. Wished the Snyder Dc universe got reborn.
Cmon snyder school for real? We want moreeeee😭🔥🔥🔥
I'd like to hear Zack break down some technical aspects of shooting on a Red with Leica and Rangefinder lenses and why he made the switch to digital!
I love the opening sequence in Batman V Superman... it's just epic, Batman's origin told perfectly, and then how it merges with Man of Steel final battle... is masterful!
Lets appreciate his storyboarding and drawings
Love this so, so much. Keep them coming!
“Well, first I watched Zombieland’s, and then I decided to do that.”
So much Zack Snyder stuff on here, I know what you're trying to do. Fine, I'll subscribe. Love this collaboration.
I love this kind of stuff; listening to my favorite directors talk about their movies is so cool to me. Zack Snyder tells such a good story with his title sequence: mixing the feelings of “Wow! This movie is awesomely bloody” with “Wow! That little girl just died”
I'm proud with all your efforts and the people with you working with. Good work.
opening titles are everything for Bond, Mission Impossible, Marvel movies and this needs to be unpacked more often. loved this
Loving these. Appreciate it! - Filmakers
I had no idea that, that was the waynes. And i love the watchmen opening scene
the film is just great! I love him .... from the beginning with the scene where the dangerous cargo goes away .... the tension that is built up right from the start .... how the situation is out of control device and the subject is free! .... from there I already knew the film was going to be really cool !! and I wasn't wrong😍. I had fun right from the start, for me absolutely a special fireworks display in 2021! thank you Zack Snyder for this movie😎💪🙌
anyone spot the homage to american werewolf in london at the start with the two soldiers being hunted by the alpha
I’m glad they came out with this. It shows step by step what not to do when making films.
I wish they added in the dried up zombies at the gate getting rained on and coming back as Lily mentioned after going through the wall. Hopefully, they'll incorporate this in the prequel.
Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, BVS, Justice League, Army of the Dead... absolutely love Zack Snyder’s work.. It’s not for everyone; but those who love it, really appreciate his work. Iconic filmmaker.
Can’t wait for the RLM video
Hey Netflix, listen yeah. We are very grateful you gave zack a platform to display what he can do without having shackles on him, that a certain other studio failed to do so. Thank you.
Excited for Episode 2 Of Snyder School!!!
Awesome video. Zack is an iconic talent!
Thank you Zack and Netflix for this, I loved it. Watching Zack work and just give the time and day to educate and explain his creative methods is just phenomenal. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
So awesome! Learned so much
How awesome! It was so fun to listen to Zack, I could do the country for hours! Great Director🙌🏾♥️
Hyped for the next part 🤩🤩
Need part 2🙏
Make this a series!!
