The second volume was released on March 25, 2014 . Songs of Survival is a soundtrack for the third season and it was released on August 27, 2013, by Republic Records as a Walmart exclusive for the special edition release of the third season . Songs of Survival, Vol. 2 is a soundtrack for the fourth season and it was released on August 26, 2014, by Republic Records as a Walmart exclusive of the fourth season release . </P> <P> Greg Nicotero is an executive producer and the key special effects makeup artist on the series . Each walker is put through "zombie school" and is taught how to move like zombies . There are three levels of zombie makeup: Hero, Midground, and Deep Background . Hero zombies are featured walkers and are completely made over from head to toe . Midground zombies get highlights and shadows on the face, but do not get close enough to the camera to require full makeup . Deep background zombies often wear masks and are only meant to be used as a backdrop . </P> <P> The Walking Dead is mostly filmed in Georgia . Since 2002, the state has offered a tax incentive for large film productions to drive producers to the state and bolster its economy . </P> <P> The first season was filmed primary in Atlanta, though required a great deal of coordination with the city to shut down streets and parks for film . Production for subsequent seasons moved mainly to Riverwood Studios (doing business as Raleigh Studios Atlanta), a plot of land approximately 120 acres (0.49 km) outside of Senoia, Georgia . Some existing buildings were used here, such as a subdivision that is used by several families that serves as the Alexandria Safe - Zone, while other buildings are constructed as sets, such as the exterior shots of the main Hilltop mansion, the trash heaps used by the Scavengers, or Father Gabriel's church . Sets are torn down when no longer needed; the church, after its use in Season 5, was removed and its spot used for the iconic setting for the first meeting between Rick's group and Negan in Season 7 . The property includes sound stages constructed for interior shots, which then may be reused; the interior sets for the prison during Season 3 were reused to serve as the buildings and sets for the Savior's Sanctuary in Season 7 . In July 2017, AMC purchased the studio lot from Riverwood for $8.25 million . </P>
