Very atmospheric. And Mammon was pleased.
Mammon's Wake
With greed as the captain, we find ourselves adrift at sea.
A short mood piece animation, made with charcoal, Flash and love.
Those parallax effects look absolutely wonderful. I love how this wasnt just a "2d" slideshow. It was beautifully crafted 2d with the illusionary effects of 3d. Very simple, but had the shots it needed to really set a mood. Amazing work
I just loved the mood in this. You had actual charcoal for this? It actually kind of shows. I love how graceful this cartoon is. I guess some people expected more. I guess some people might view it was boring.
I thought it was nicely soft. You usually do darker stuff. You have so much love for your wife as well. I liked these little details everywhere. You even have such simple author's comments.
HeRetiK responds:
Yes, a big ole chunk of drawing charcoal! Most of what you see is inverted though, so I had to draw in the negative, which was fun in its own right.
Great job, dude! I enjoyed it immensely. The music and the visuals were spot on!
Are you planning on making more in this style?
HeRetiK responds:
Thanks! Not that exact same style, but I've learned a few things upon which I might build in the future. For now I feel more like going into a cleaner, digital direction, but I haven't quite yet decided on my next project.
Stunning.
