Great look ...
It looks good, it's got a good style and the sound was good too.
I've got two questions though - why wasn't that girl afraid of anything? and what happened to the boy that was with her outside?
Reviews for "Grimly Manor trailer"
BADMAN responds:
I'm not sure yet why she's not afraid. Mainly because I havent designed a scared face yet. Also I think it's creepier that she's not freaking out or anything. There is actually alot more of this story to do. More ghosts, more spooky sets and a giant escher stairwell. Some is finished... But I decided to focus only on the ghosts of the family in the picture for the Halloween Trailer. In the final movie I'm going to try to make it all fit together... but right now i just need to stop so I can party a little for halloween. :)
Incredible... It definitely has potential
From the moment when the music began I realised it was going to be worth watching. Then when the style of animation became clear, when the woman was in the manor, my thoughts started racing as I knew then that I wanted to watching this.
Although, I was mildly confused by the lack of emotion in the woman's face when things started to become a little strange. If that was you intension, leading the story on to show this woman is not whom we might think, then I'm sorry to of brought it up.
One thing I do wish to mension is the music at the end. For me it ruined the tension which the animation had created. Wheather it had that effect on others who watched it, I don't know. But you may wish to find that out if you are planning to use it again.
Overal I would say that it was a very well constructed animation and that I look forward to see what will happen next. Whether any of my criticisms proved useful, is your business.
Good luck to you for any other animation you create in the future.
BADMAN responds:
The jazz music is only for this halloween clip version. I won't let it spoil the mood at the end of the finished short. Thanks anonymous corpse.
In fact, just your name has given me an idea...!
Not Bad
It was pretty damn good but i think that you should change the sound when the ghots blows his head off to a more realistic gunshot sound. other than that it was good. keep up the good work
BADMAN responds:
Or something scarier sounding. yes.
Anybody got anything?
Grimly?
Its pretty good. The only thing i have to say is that the main characters seem to look out of place, less detailed than the ghosts etc. Character reactions were a bit weird, also the i didn't really feel uneasy watching it, so i hope the real thing makes more sense. Still really good.
BADMAN responds:
It's a temp title, but yes Grimly. Like Gris Grimly the Illustrator. Who I happen to have JUST met saturday at Hollywood Cemetary. I couldn't resist...
It was good. Needs a little improvement
The animation in this movie was great. However, i couldn't really see much of a storyline, It seemed much like a random haunted house at first, later on perhaps some suggested past is given when the girl looks angryly at the ghost (?). Some sugestions is that you use some sounds to set the mood. Sounds that are chilling or simply just incoherent. voted 3
