I thought this animation was amazing! I think Albert below completely missed the point of what an "experimental" film is supposed to do. I think he was too critical and not too constructive. Experimental is meant to play with ideas and the medium of animation(don't let reviews like his get to you). I loved how you went about making this animation and it's super awesome! I hope to see more from you in the future! Good luck animating and have fun :D!
Reviews for "Red Tie"
OK I'm gonna be hated for this *Grammatical errors are not intentional*
I get that you would like to make a really scary horror movie and that the ambient would have to be like it is for it to be "scary"
But this shit makes Scary Movie look frightening...
I think it was far too predictable and borderline dumb
I see no point for any part of the story
It doesn't dwell on on any point to frighten you
Why did the guy kill himself?
Why is it scary that hes dead?
Why would the "farmer" react to this in that way?
Wouldn't he rather look down the well and see what in the actual fuck just happened?
AND THE REPETITIVE BLINKING ON THE SCREEN IS SIMPLY A STUPID ADDITION TO A VERY FUCKED UP (and not in a scary or interesting kind of way) AND SOMEWHAT RETARDED "Movie"
Now I apologize for the rage out...
Its good... but it could have been better and maybe giving people a reason to be afraid other than just showing them gore would be a good Idea
And if you ant to give it a "dark ambiance" then maybe you could have used a slightly less cartoony art style
Parts like the flip of the book take away the attention from the man and tend to make me think im watching something that came out of disney...
Now... I think that visually... it looks kinda bad... Im sorry
But Ill give you something The sounds are pretty good
Except perhaps that ridiculous yell near the end... along with the reference to "The Scream" was, in my opinion TACKY
So yeah
4 stars still
If you fall get back up
OK?

Like the grosser than gross: "the pile of dead babies and the only one at the bottom is alive fighting it's way to the top". Morbid. It gets the Gravediggaz HipHop Horror Award for gore and innovation.
selfish bastard ruined the water supply for everyone else.
I really liked the animation style and the build-up of tension and anticipation.
However, the ending was a major let-down, i had expected the one reading the diary to be a different person, like, his murderer or something.
I'm not saying that that is the only thing that you should have done, i just feel there should have been something to shock the audience at the end, something to make them say "holy crap that's creepy" and 'headless guy' just doesn't do that for me.
Finally, while the inclusion of the scream did make me giggle a bit, i feel it should have been left out as it broke the atmosphere and felt out of place.
That said, good potential here and the beginning did enough to keep me watching so work on the climax and this would have been epic.
