Following nearly a year of testing in collaboration with RED, Snyder opted to use specially customized RED Monstro digital cinema cameras outfitted with vintage f\/0.95 Canon Dream lenses in order to evoke a soft, organic look in contrast to the harsh apocalyptic zombie landscape in the film. The entire movie was shot on two lenses with a locked aperture of .95 for every shot with the exception of one scene \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/18Vupg9xICg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guzman\u2019s YouTube trick shot<\/a> \u2014 which was shot on an iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/AOTD_080719_15134R_CC-LR.jpg?resize=1080%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u201cI was experimenting with how much natural lighting I could do\u2026 it was liberating.\u201d filmmaker Zack Snyder said of shooting with the RED Monstro.

Cr: Clay Enos\/Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took five weeks just to film the opening scene where the soldiers first encounter the film\u2019s main antagonist, Zeus (Richard Cetrone), the powerful leader of the Army of the Dead. \u201cI really wanted to shoot it at dusk in natural light,\u201d says Snyder. \u201cWe shot it everyday at dusk for five weeks to get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because casinos in Las Vegas are open 24 hours a day, it was impossible to actually shoot in Sin City. Instead, the Showboat Atlantic City was used for the interior of Bly\u2019s Las Vegas casino in the film. As a non-gaming hotel, The Showboat\u2019s 60,000 square-foot casino floor has been empty since 2014. Production designer Julie Berghoff and her team had to source more than 500 slot machines to use in the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crew couldn\u2019t gain access to the highest rooftops in Vegas in order to scan the strip, so VFX supervisor Marcus Taormina and his team of 12 to 14 VFX still photographers and LiDAR technicians spent 12 days using scissor lifts, drones, and a helicopter equipped with a LiDAR scanner to get the above-ground shots. The effort resulted in an accurate 3D model of the entire Las Vegas strip that was used throughout various sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Army of the Dead | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tI1JGPhYBS8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to create the zombie tiger Valentine (as seen in the trailer above), the VFX team needed a real-life tiger to base the virtual creature on.
