Very impressive.
I must congratulate you for your efforts, pal. This submission has it all: a plot, nice art and good music to match everything else. It really seems that you invested quite a lot of love into this.
Great job!

Kaloian responds:
I'm pretty pleased with it, more so now that I know how many other people think it's good. And the music compositions By Mike and Sahlia were great, terrific artists.
did you really animated this?
Because it's awesome, the draw, the trama, even the fact that the animation it's a complete 8mm rail style.
I hope to see more of your work.
Kaloian responds:
Thanks, and yes I did do all the work on it (besides the animation and the sound effects are from a library, obviously). There are definitely spots in the animation where it could have been smoother or livelier as the character seems to do repetitive flat things but it is what it is now.
okay
so this looks like it could have been impressive had you prioritized the quality of the final product more
couldn't read any of the credits an couldn't see half of what was going on.
clean it up and resubmit it and it might even get frontpaged.
Quality is important, never forget that.
Kaloian responds:
I would like to but the backgrounds are crazy big .pngs and there are effects from after effects and the like. I had to pull this out of flash at about the rough stage because I couldn't touch any part of it without killing something in the project. There is a higher quality version and you can find the link in the description.
And yes, there was a rush to get it done and I was really trying for high quality but as a result the story acting and animation didn't get the time or attention they deserved.
Authentically good
That was a pretty darn good animation. Music was fitting aswell. Unfortunately, it was rather poor quality, and very pixle-ee. I would try to post a better version on newgrounds, because as it stands now, some would think that you're not the original author.
The flash itself, though very good and entertaining, felt just a little bit rushed along. You could have shown each character a little more before moving through the short story. That's just a mild quip though. A little early for halloween. Try puting a version with better resolution on here before then.
Kaloian responds:
It seemed very Halloween-e when I was making it and I think it was near Halloween when I came up with it. The timing is pretty much how I felt about it too but it had a deadline so this is what came out.
I'll see what I can do about making it a flash only file and raising the quality. Would you happen to know a good method?
