ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Creepy
Irishman here. The animation was very nice. Seems a bit clumped together at points, as in that everything goes at the same speed. I'd have liked to have seen him pause a bit when he's digging but hey, it's not my animation. Overall it was very good. The music was pretty suiting when you remember it's a black comedy.
And I don't see any stereotypes here so I don't know what Morgan was on about. Oh, and if you want it to be more Irishy, change the sign from "Public Bar" to "Pub". I don't know anywhere local that calls it's self a "bar".
TheBoogley responds:
true, very true... I suppose as I get more used to the technique I'll be better at adding easing in and out to movements. In my cartoon work I'm pretty comfortable with timing, but if I applied the timing I normally use to this everything would start feeling too exaggerated and silly. It needs time to evolve.
And yeah I really should've used Pub, I put public bar planning to change it later, then ran out of time...
beautiful
i was expecting a final kiss with the skull , so cute , but the animation is awesome , liked this style
TheBoogley responds:
kissing a dirty skull? that's disgusting :D
Nice
It was very nice indeed. Its a thing I could say that is inspiring me to make something as beautifully done as this one turned out.
TheBoogley responds:
I inspired you? You poor bastard... :3
Nice and Mysterious...
Such raw dirty animation worked well for the piece and visually it was very enjoyable to watch. The soundtrack also worked quite well. Being Irish, the stereotypes were still visible but it didn't bug me that much in this. The idea of having it shown through mist was simply genius, and such an exciting incentive whilst animating it! At the moment I'm animating something quite similar for an Irish comedian called Jon Kenny. Before he jumps on stage a small animation of him will play on an overhead projector signalling his arrival.
Anyway, great stuff, it looks wonderful.
TheBoogley responds:
I wasn't sure if it seemed irish enough, but I know what you mean about stereotypes. I hope you upload the animation when it's finished, send me a link when it's out, I'd love to see it.
