Description Another fanimation, just in time for the Halloween season! This time I pay tribute to the absolutely breath-taking work of Rado Javor [link] and his beautifully eerie piece Scarecrow. [link] This is, as usual, posted with permission from the original artist and I take credit only for putting it into motion. Considering the crap he's had to deal with thanks to art thieves recently, I think that was very cool of him. First rate artist AND a first rate guy.

Actually a fairly simple one, only ten frames or so, but I think it came out well. And only took me a few hours to get everything right! Considered making the scarecrow's head move or something, but wanted to "keep it real, yo", so stuck with just the crows. And yes, I like the band Counting Crows, but only their first album or two. After that they got too freakin' cheerful. Damn their success! But speaking of which, here's a quick quiz to see if you're a natural blonde! Count how many crows land behind the hay bail-thing before any of them fall out!

That's it... keeeeeeep counting. Yes, I can make blonde jokes, I'm a (dirty) blond myself, so nyah.

And the trick is that they've got a secret underground tunnel right there, so they can all escape! Hah!

Thanks! Be sure to check out Rado's other stuff. He's the talent, I'm just the one with waaaaay too much time on his hands.

Glad to hear that! I did my best to keep the crows looking like... er... crows through all the frames. Thanks!

Really nice! I'd really love to see this with the occasional flash of lightning, or maybe the lights of the house in the background flickering occasionally!

Treyos In reply to causticardor [2006-10-28 14:40:25 +0000 UTC]

I'd considered making the lights in both the house and the jack-o-lantern flicker... never thought about lightning though. Might could make an extended version with a couple extra things going on. Will have to ponder that (ie find the time ).
