The rating.
This was 100% pure amazing, art, music, voices. But the rating made me upset. This needs to be Teen.
Reviews for "The Old Ash Tree"
refreshing
Actually, this sort of thing requires softer voiceacting, the excessive noise somehow dilutes the fear and suspense.
And it was slightly too fast for the suspense to sink in.
Oook then
Well that was nicely bleak and morbid. I like how the whole thing was whispered and the whole black and white semi-grainy texture. I also loved the poem. the only thing that didn't really like was the quick flashes of the worms, bugs, and dead deer i think it was.. i know it adds to the bleakness but they somewhat broke the mood. Other than that loved it! Make more.
Great poem
It is amazing how you can put such a great dark tone into something. The best part was how you consistently kept your voice low and scary the whole time. It is definitley something that would creep people out. The animation is downright fantastic, particularly with how you use the black and white. While there is no color, you manage to show off a good arrangement of shades. It's great that you started off by telling such a classic story.
Your work kind of reminds me of theonewithoutaname. Poems are classic literature, so it only fits that people would make a truly haunting story to them. You manage to truly get into the madness that this cartoon is bringing. The poetry is very well done and you can just feel the branches twisting around the girl. I guess every town like this has a dark secret.
im not going to sleep tonight
