@twesterm

i don't think i want to be a tool just to be a zombie in a trailer no one will care about.

What do you mean tool?  Do you mean extra?  I've seen some people villainize some pretty silly things but this is one of the sillier ones.

Again, it's just a cool experience that a whole lot of people will really dig.  You get to be dressed up as a zombie by a professional and see how things like that get made.

i just don't think its going to be a good experience for people who would get in, they're not celebrities or anything so they'll get the shortest straw, IE used as tools.

If they were being promised meeting celebrities and such or even a small expectation any celebrity would be there then it would be a bad deal, but none of that is true.  You're being used as free work but, one more time, you're getting a cool experience out of it, one most people will never get to experience.

There's no hiding anything in that advertisement, it's all right there without any funny language, and the contest is something completely optional with the only prize getting to do that.  If you don't want to be there 10 hours then don't enter.  You don't lose anything.  If you enter you know exactly what you're getting into since there's absolutely no deception there.

You're making this out to be something like yeah, FFIX is coming out on PSN but you have to pay for each disc or FFIX is coming out today but there's going to be something that keeps track of play statistics in the background that they aren't going to tell you about.

-edit-

The simplist way to say this: just because you're not interested in how things like that are made, doesn't mean it's a bad deal.

I think going to football training camp and watching players would be absolute torture but would a contest to win a pass to watch that be a contest nobody in their right mind should enter?  This should be something any person interested in movies or zombies or just want to see themslves on a trailer should think is cool.
