My Halloween 08' Entry


A story about a friendly little ghost.


Hey, if you're feelin' generous, why not submit this to the halloween collection?

Kinda fun while it lasted.

I generally liked the style - the simple shapes and fbf.

I'd suggest you think a bit about the line width - it's usually the same width throughout, but is smaller in the scenes in which you use tweening (like Pac-man before he sees the pill or the ghoul before he grabs the kid in the ghost costume). Maybe think about this - maybe use thinner lines for the bg?

Sometimes, your lines got a little sloppy. Don't be afraid to undo and redraw a line until it looks smooth.

The plot itself was kinda unsettling, with the vicious ghoul - quite a contrast to the cute graphics!

The end with Pac-man was amusing, but a bit of a non-sequitor considering that the rest of it had been set in the 'human' world.

It remained entertaining, regardless of flaws. Mainly thanks to the fast-paced action, I guess.

People always say my lines aren't sexy, I think it's because of my shitty 30$ tablet.

nice flash

Visuals: well drawn and animated, looked very cartoony, one part I didn't like was the kid with the toilet paper's nose, otherwise it's good

Audio: the lack of sound effects didn't bother me in the least, kind of reminded me of the old silent films, where it's just the music playing to give it emotion, that really carried the cartoony theme well

Overall: i really enjoyed it, the part with pac-man and Mrs. pac-man was awesome, as was the rest of the flash, keep at it

Voodoo responds:

Thanks, I love these detailed reviews :3

Wild side of casper?

It was okay made me laugh, more in the whacky zone then in the scary zone but the part that was really good when you see pacman over all i give 8 its good plus the animation was nice

Voodoo responds:

I guess it was a little wacky.

BUT YOU GOTTA LOVE THOSE SHINNANIGANS!

Good stuff

Quite a random little skit, but I can see the plot being about this misunderstood, if not entirely friendly little ghost. The only similarity to characters like Casper end with the look of the thing, but it works well, with a little malicious mischief thrown in there for good measure.

Some of the faces you've drawn look really weird, especially the nose of the kid who tried to throw the toilet paper, but got his own comeuppance. I liked that touch, I might have to use it myself against trick or treaters who infest my front garden on any other night than October 31st.

Now that you've got this start, you could actually take it further - edit this piece down to about 20-30s for the intro and then go with a series about a group of Ghosts, Ghouls and other such Hallowe'en fixtures, like Vampires, Mummies, Werewolves and anything else that comes to mind to fit the bill.

I'm sure you could come up with some sort of series based around them. The joy about this is that they don't have to be released just at Halowe'en, you can release all year and come up with a Halowe'en special, which is the big piece of the year for you.

Might need some voice acting if you're going down that route though.

Voodoo responds:

I did base the character off casper, and boo berry.

LOLS.

\m/

Graphics and animations are good. You also had very detailed backgrounds, which is always a plus.

The song was a good choice and you managed to keep your animations synched with the song. It may be a bit fast from time to time, but this way it feels like a music video.

Too bad you didn't add any sounds to it. I think the flash would be better with various sounds and a few voices (like when the ghost drops the guy on the street, the guy should scream, etc.) .

Voodoo responds:

A lot of people have a sound AND MUSIC Fetish.

Why didn't I think of that? :c
