Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- George A. Romero said the idea was film students shooting a school project when zombies begin to walk and they document it, and that he wanted to try the subjective camera before he knew anyone else was: "I didn't know about Cloverfield or anything else."
- To get the handheld look, Romero had the camera travel a full 360 degrees around the actors, which meant the cast had to duck under the lens as it came past: "everybody was an acrobat," as he put it.
