Before the Fall: the before and after zombie couple video

This story is built as a before and after. The first six seconds are a bright memory: the two of you, both human, laughing and sharing ice cream on a first date in a city park. After a white flash the park is overgrown and grey, the survivor sits alone on the same bench, and the zombie partner walks out from behind a tree, sits down and takes their hand.

What happens in the 15 seconds

• 0–6 s: A bright, warm memory in a sunny park: both of you human, on a first date, sharing ice cream and laughing.
• 6–7 s: A white flash transition.
• 7–15 s: The same park, overgrown under a grey sky: the survivor sits alone on the bench, the zombie partner walks out from behind a tree and sits beside them, they hold hands and look into the distance.

The best photos for Before the Fall

• Both of you appear fully human for six seconds, so natural, happy photos pay off more here than in any other story.
• Daylight photos match the sunny first half best.
• Avoid heavy filters: the contrast between the before and after only works if both halves look like the same faces.

Good to know

• The only story that opens in the past; the zombie only appears after the flash.
• A good fit if you have a real first-date story to put in the caption.
• Two photos · 15 seconds · 9:16 or 16:9 · music on · no watermark · 1 credit (720p) or 2 credits (HD 1080p).
