Dead Rising is a series of open world survival horror video games. It was the second game in the Dead Rising series. Game company CAPCOM was seeking a new approach for the promotional campaign. We pitched an idea of spin out the animated film with some twist. Change the timeline from the present day to the Samurai era in Japan. With help from our friend producer Umezaki, We could get legendary animator Norio Shioyama as a character designer, and animator. It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
