Dead-Zone
Project Overview
DEAD-ZONE
Dead-Zone is an original independent animated series combining science fiction, horror, survival, and mystery.
A few years ago, unknown creatures invaded Earth. These creatures are blind, but possess an extremely developed sense of hearing, making even small mistakes potentially deadly.
Civilization has collapsed, governments have lost control, and several regions of the world have become dangerous or completely inaccessible.
In southern Canada, the city of Ashford has been classified as a Dead Zone after communication with the region was lost.
The world believes that nobody survived.
They are wrong.
Four teenage friends — Lily, Mimikyu, Buzz, and Eklipse — are trying to survive in the ruins of Ashford. With resources becoming increasingly scarce, they discover an old communication tower that could allow them to contact the outside world and prove that survivors are still alive.
But there is a problem:
Activating the tower could also reveal their location to the creatures.
As the story progresses, survival becomes only the beginning. The characters will uncover clues about the invasion, investigate what happened to the world, and slowly discover that there may be more behind the Dead Zone than they initially believed.
🎬 ABOUT THE PROJECT
Dead-Zone is currently an independent project in development.
The long-term goal is to develop it into an animated series, beginning with smaller productions such as concept scenes, teasers, or short sequences before attempting larger episodes.
The visual direction is primarily 2D animation, with possible 3D elements for environments, camera work, effects, or other situations where they are useful.
The project focuses heavily on:
Storytelling
Atmosphere
Character development
Mystery and worldbuilding
Horror and suspense
Sound design
Original music

They just need to prove they are alive.
