"We are arriving at that unique moment in time where the
term "fan-made" becomes moot. This is extraordinary."
Damon Lindelof, Executive Producer, LOST
"Kudos to Daniel Kanemoto for his terrific fan version of
THE WALKING DEAD opening titles -- they rock big time!"
Gale Anne Hurd, Producer, THE TERMINATOR, ALIENS, THE ABYSS, THE WALKING DEAD
My favorite "exclusive" from the 2009 Comic-Con convention was a beautiful painting by legendary artist Drew Struzan, featuring a horde of zombies from THE WALKING DEAD. Frank Darabont is adapting the apocalyptic Image Comics book created by Robert Kirkman, and man, it looks really, really great.
As I was admiring Struzan's work of art, I wondered what the opening titles to this terrifying new television show might look like... so I animated a spec title sequence using artwork ripped from the pages of the comic, originally illustrated by Charlie Adlard and Tony Moore.
Just so there's no confusion, I'm not affiliated with the production in any way -- I'm simply a huge fan of both Frank Darabont and Robert Kirkman, and this is my attempt at creating a cinematic introduction to one of the all time great "continuing stories of survival horror."
THE WALKING DEAD premiered on October 31st, 2009 on AMC and is currently the highest rated basic cable series of all time.

Wish someone like HBO would make a direct comic adaptation animated series of the walking dead. That would be sick
also extremely brutal lmao, more brutal than the show. but idk if they can show some shit, example Michonne being raped. I seriously don't know if they can show that lol
@@Joshyyy6 And Rick lose 1 hand
@@Joshyyy6 They probably wouldn’t show it, just imply it
@@Joshyyy6 They already went halfway with the governor telling Maggie to take her clothes off and slamming over the table. All they got to do is switch her with Michonne and do what Game of Thrones did with Ramsay raping Sansa. They don’t show it, but we hear it and we know what’s happening. Still not as brutal as the comics but they don’t need to make it needlessly brutal as possible lol
If they decide to make The Walking Dead the Animated Series they would have the cast members of the original Walking Dead AMC the only thing I want to make The Walking Dead the animated series was Ezekiel it would have been voiced by Dave fennoyed who voiced Lee from The Walking Dead Telltale Game
i always come back to this, it's so cool
megan kathleen same. I rewatch this occasionally because it’s so damn good
Yep, me too. Because the back more than 1/4, of the show, sucked and I stopped watching. THIS video makes me think about how absolutely great the first several seasons were, maybe up to where Andrea died.
@@Tonya57Ja this is relatable af. I was a die hard fan in the beginning but stopped watching pretty much after Andrea died too.
@@megzkathleen Think you should give it a chance. 4-6 is also really good imo. 7 and 8 is garbage though. S9-11,especially 9 is underrated
Wish the comic version was the series:(
+Mr. BruhDixon me too, but the TV version gave us great stuff too, Daryl, the CDC, the extended time with shane AND that sweet prison attack scene
+Corey Simpkin True
no thx.
I perfer comic version than tv
me too
I like this, but the intro for the show they have currently is perfect in my opinion. They always make it fit perfectly into the beginning of episodes and the feeling to the current opening just feels right considering how dark and moody it is. This is pretty amazing though.
Beautiful work. The lens flares, the colours, cutting to the beat...everything.
The reason why this should be the official titles is because every time I think about the show, I think of this video.
I love how its more faithful to the comic books, it looks like the kind of thing you would see in the closing credits of a kids animated film (the animation style of course)
I still remember watching this when it first came out 12 years ago. Crazy
Same, it's just so good.
I'm just going to play this at the beginning of each episode. There's no way they can do anything better than this.
I was around 12 years old when I first saw this on g4. I thought it was badass as fuck and it still is
Lol I remember g4 back then
Favorited this way back and wanted to revisit again. So good!
This is so cool dude! If AMC were smart, they would use this as the intro to the show. Way to go and keep up the great work.
This thing is sick.
This theme is better than anything on TV now.
even the lyrics match the video AMAZING,need to see this as the intro.......AMC you better be watching
this is mad artistic and fits the comic perfectly but i think the current intro captures the total dystopic and realistic feel of the walking dead tv show
I love the intro they have already, but this is so unbelievably awesome. In class I'm doing an animated graphic novel about zombies right now as a project, I wish it looked this amazing!
Just saw this and I wish it was the main title theme for the show ❤ when Rick is on top of the tank and shoots the walker while the camera goes back, and the music… awwww! Chills man chills 😅
So awesome man, definitely worthy of being an official opener
This is awesome! Please make more of these! Subscribed!
I can't believe how awesome this is!
They should use this as the intro and pay you royalties. Plus it has a cool story behind it too - and it could only help the show take off.
Amazing job done! I wish this was the true opening! :D
slick work - - genuinely inspiring mogfx, man!
Amazing!
Should be used for the opening sequence of the start of the season two episodes.
This is so damn good. I literally can SEE this working for the show. You should make one for the cast of Season 3 and the Prison, one of the best 'Eras' in the Graphic Novel and I have every faith in that it will be just as good in the Show.
wow wow wooooow... this is serious... awesome edition!
I am blown away by the creativity and quality of work within this opening sequence. Well done!
You should get a team together and just do this for the whole comic with voice actors and everything!
you do not understand how much i love this.
WOW. THAT was fantastic.
They should use this as the official intro, it's awesome.
Dan, what did you think of the show? It's out, I'm loving it!
Holy shit :O Great stuff!!!
omg! its beautifully creepy. please amc use this!!!
dude this is amazing.......
Incredible. Can't wait till the 31st but god damn, this should be the opening titles.
I'm watchin this over and over again - and it's awesome every time :D
This is an incredible intro, fantastic work
Love the live action interpretation of TWD, even if it did stumble in some parts, but damn, an R-rated, comic-accurate, animated series akin to Invincible (coincidentally, another series written by Robert Kirkman) would be fucking amazing.
That would be incredible. Would be far better than the live adaptation imo. Where do you think S1 would end? Imo it'd end around the time Rick gives his "We aren't the walking dead" speech
Great job, man.
amaaazing man
holy crap this is amazing
HOLY SHIT, well done.
So full of win - great stuff!
It's really hard to think of a way that AMC could come up with something better than this, unless of course it's this video extended
Outstanding!
I remember when attack of the show played this, it was amazing then, it's still amazing now.
amazing! Awesome job, man.
Whats the song called?
Somebody needs to contact the producers of the TV series, quick, so they can call for some last minute editing. This opening would be too original for TV!
Bro we need an animated show adaptation of the comics in full color😭😭😭 Like I love the show but it would be so sick to have that as well yk
So good!
This is so amazing!!
Great Job.
Really good, if their was an animated series this would fit the bill perfectly, but i do also love the actual intro
Maybe you're not affiliated with the show, but you totally should be. That was totally sick. And super duper props for using Eels.
Very nice! Especially the 2D-3D effects, like the officer's gun :).
Awesome stuff man, I hope they actually listen to the fans and use this, cause I doubt they have anything better.
This should definitely be the opening sequence
That was just epic!
HOLY SHIT this is AMAZING!
This is Fucking incredible.
Amazing
This would work so well!!!!!!
@DeepCosmo damn, just what i was going to type. Fantastic work, tho mate!
Wow thats kick arse!
When I heard the JINX intro... I was like "I know this song..." then it hit me. And I missed this intro all over again.
Simply the best
brilliant.
Wow, very cool!
Respect.
now i just want to see the series lol just for this
Awesome!
Ooooh, I like! Thumbs up! I like this intro better than the actual show's intro.
extreme awesome!
this is amazing
@danielkanemoto great job. send this to amc because the comic is creeping up on 100 issues so there may be a tribute to it.
This was fantastic my friend. Until I read the info I honestly thought that this was the real deal, and it should be dammit!
cant wait for season two and i have read the comics can only image how the are going to pull some the stuff off
Awesome man, i didn't read your text first and i really thought it was official. Too bad...
I definitely hope to see this opening for the official serie.
Any comment from AMC ?
That wud be the best thing ever
Awesome =D
Great Jpb I would love to see this that was Super Awesome good 👍
I love this into!
Way better than the live action one.
Wish there was a comic/animated version of the series. The live action one was just godawful after the books ended. See how many memes there are for the tv series compared to the comics. XD
Wasn't even that bad. I swear the show is overhated. Yes, the comics are far better, but the show was one of the best shows today compared to the trash on tv currently.
Incredible intro, however I do see why amc didn't go with it. the other intro fits the style of the show a lot more, and it was the right choice to keep the one they had. still, this is incredible, props, daniel!
Please tell me AMC has contacted you. This is awesome!
They showed this series at the San Diego Comic Convention.
I always thought they should incorporate the the original comic somehow and I think this should be the opening without a doubt (at least in my humble opinion).
Why only 302 views on the Daniel Kanemoto channel?!?!
hole shit this is badass i love the comics i read it all and i just found this this is assume man
@RotoPlasmX 100% agreed mate, but hats of to the creator, bloody fine job dude :D
I seriously doubt AMC can come up with anything better than this.
@gwahler85 absolutely right! This intro is amazing and this Eels song was the perfect choice
this was INCREDIBLE! please say you make craploads of cash doing this.
@kaiplue I know there's only 3 more episodes in this season but... think about the hard work they have only to make the zombies!
0:01 to 0:06 looks like a preview to another episode of the walking dead if it was the motion comic version
Just to clear up the obvious question, and yes it sucks because this intro would be incredible for the series, AMC is NOT using it as detailed by a blog post on the official website (Google AMC Walking Dead and go through the older news archives.
awesone
AMC REALLY needs to make this the show's opening come Season 3.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better, i wish they would use this!
you can see kenny in the fire place
alexei savior
holy shit
Epic
They should add this to the AMC show!
I love this, it is so great to watch; but when did this song come out? I really love the opening, I can't give you enough kudos, but there's a slight outdated feeling of late 90's early 00's.
The show is based off of a comic book so the intro is given an outdated feel to be more like the books
