Description Well, maybe technically sort of a tongue-in-cheek horror than horror itself.

Since I now have film privileges on DA I thought I'd upload a real version of this instead of my crappy youtube version... I also thought today would be a great day to do it due to Halloween and all.

This is my first year animated short for the Open Show at Calarts. My film actually made it into the Producer's show so I was happy for that.

There's a lot wrong with it, but it was a lot of fun. My first time really extensively animating and I was just sort of thrown into it without really much of an idea as to what I was doing.

first year restrictions were:
no color (got the spot of color I have okayed)
no voice acting
1 minute 30 seconds
we wer given roughly 3 / 4 months to complete this assignment.

Animated by hand, traditionally, using punched paper and living off of a diet of cuties and poptarts.

The look was loosely inspired by Gorey's works as he is always going to be one of my favorite artists.

Currently working on my second year film. This time featuring a cute little girl named Maddy instead of a big fat man with whale teeth.

Music and sound by Jarred McAdams (my brother!).
Background Artwork and animation by me.

I got really scared for a moment. But I liked the movie. The animation is brilliantly done, and what pleases me the most is that the movie was drawn by hand and that it is in 2D.

Hope to see more videos from you!

I liked it. As you mentioned, more a tongue-in-cheek jab at gothic horror than an actual gothic horror, but it worked.

PandaChanMu [2011-02-13 19:14:28 +0000 UTC]

It's really good, better than good, it has such an air about it that I'm actually frightened even though it's clear day outside... I love the way the cat moves and then the shadows and the lighting effects! I really like the old man too, for some reason I can imagine myself that way once I grow old with age.. XD Other than that, it's amazing, horrid, whimsical, and above all dark. Wonderful Job, I can't wait to see more.

Wow, thank you so much! In the original draft of this film it was meant to be a tongue in cheek comedy, I'm glad I went with the actual (well, still tongue in cheek) horror at the end.

Beautiful piece of animation. I love the handdrawn feel of it. The fluidity of the animation is truly wonderful.

Also, the sound you gave the cat is definitely great. When the cat yowled, it woke up both of my sleeping cats on my couch, and they promptly started to look around for their attacker. Props on the sound effects!

Very beautiful work, especially for your first year. If I may ask, how did you go about cleaning up your animation? Did you do the final lines by pencil or photoshop?
