AMC’s Walking Dead Blog Interviews Greg Nicotero

AMC’s Walking Dead Blog posted up another interview, this time with Greg Nicotero. It’s pretty much the standar fare but they do get into some interesting Season 2 topics like if he created any new iconic zombies for Season 2:

Q: Congratulations on your Emmy nomination. What do you think made The Walking Dead stand out?

A: Thank you! I think we were able to push prosthetics into a place that we hadn’t seen on TV before, in terms of the caliber of design and sculpture. There’s nothing television about The Walking Dead. Last year we shot six mini-movies, and they just happened to play on television. And what I thought the most successful aspect of it was, people couldn’t figure out exactly how we did it. Take Bicycle Girl. There were people who thought she was an animatronic puppet. There were people who thought we dug a hole in the grass. No one could really put their finger on how it was done. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s what I want to feel when I see a movie.

Q: Have you created any signature zombies for Season 2 akin to Bicycle Girl?

A: If I tell you about it, it gives the gag away! But I will say one of the signature zombies we did for this season took us five weeks to build and is the most elaborate thing we did on the show. And we were working on it up to an hour before we were shooting it on-set. But there’s a lot more to do this season in regards to the way the story propels itself forward. There’s one thing that’s really interesting that they’ve established, which is this herd mentality — the idea that they travel in these big packs and that there could be hundreds and hundreds of walkers in these herds. The first episode we come upon one of these herds and it’s just terrifying
