Reviews for Grimly Manor trailer

[PhobiK]

Excellent animation.

I liked the style of the movie. The graphics and everything looked great. Was the scariest flash movie I've seen so far :P The ghosts and else were weird enough to get a scary feeling about it. Though, the girl acted like it was her family and friends she was looking at, she didn't get scared at all as others have pointed out. I couldn't really tell, in the last part if she was happy, surprised, or scared. Also, I felt the guy blowing his head was a bit off-place, but that's just my opinion. Everything else is just great, really good job!

BADMAN responds:

yeah, the blowing the head off bit is just to please the kids on newgrounds. I'm trying to make it fit in the story though. I think she will need his help against 'Bloody Mary' at some point.
Oh and as for not being afraid... its official:
SHE SEES DEAD PEOPLE... always has I think. :)

Haha.

I thought it was funny where he randomly blows his head off. Great animation, but for some reason i thought the ghosts looked alot higher quality than the girl/boy.

BADMAN responds:

thank you... see above : )

Really, really cool!

The music was great. The backgrounds were awsome. My favorite were the way you portrayed the two female ghosts. I always wondered how easy it would be to show a skeleton under transparent clothing...but you have done it sir. As well, the red woman had a deep aura of mystery around her. However, I felt that with the realitic ghosts, the character of the little girl was a bit too cartoonish? She dosnt really fit. But otherwise, good job, and I cant wait to see more!

BADMAN responds:

It all started as an excersise about making existing art look like a velvet painting. With black background and transparency and tinting I made the red lady... and got rolling from there.
I've got the note about the style difference a few times... but I think I'm gonna lay that one off as:
Simply the difference between ghosts and humans. I liked your zombie flip book!

Ooooh! Scary!

And that's a good thing! Although I find it kind of weird that that... Girl doesn't get scared by all this, infact, she has a determined look at the end of this trailer, I don't get it. o_o. I kinda got spooked when I saw that Shotgun Zombie and that Skeletal Bride.

BADMAN responds:

yeah... drawing expressions as we speak, so to speak...

Great!

I loved it.
My favorite was the smoke from the candles.
Great graphics, the charicters could of been a little more detailed in the way they moved,
but overall 9.8!
