Reviews for The Old Ash Tree

Great poem

It is amazing how you can put such a great dark tone into something. The best part was how you consistently kept your voice low and scary the whole time. It is definitley something that would creep people out. The animation is downright fantastic, particularly with how you use the black and white. While there is no color, you manage to show off a good arrangement of shades. It's great that you started off by telling such a classic story.

Your work kind of reminds me of theonewithoutaname. Poems are classic literature, so it only fits that people would make a truly haunting story to them. You manage to truly get into the madness that this cartoon is bringing. The poetry is very well done and you can just feel the branches twisting around the girl. I guess every town like this has a dark secret.

Certainly interesting, but it could be improved.

I feel like the doubled vocals were distracting, and didn't heighten the 'creepy' atmosphere. The whispering wasn't necessary and would have been just as or more effective if it were a strong female voice. I liked the poem a lot, and think it was quite well done.

I would have liked it more if it rhymed, but it's better to forego the rhyming scheme if it lessens the quality of the poetry.

This could of been better, but not bad!

The whispering was a little too scratchy to understand so it kinda of lost me and I could not read the words during the video and had to read the author's comments thanks btw haha. This was a good creepypasta and the problems weren't too bad needed a little improvement in my opinion

Nice work though!

Not overly effective.

Truthfully, there's not a lot of positive feedback I can give you, so my review may seem a little harsh, but it's what I think..
Personally, I thought the voice acting for this was quite terrible. You tried way too hard to make it sound like a mysterious whisper, or to have a scary/creepy effect upon the viewers. As for the actual animation, it was alright, but the whole theme of it is already way too over done. Try to be more original in your creations. The story was alright, it's a bit amusing in a sense, but not creepy at all. Again though, something like this has already been done many. Be original!
