Reviews for "My Childhood Nightmare"
I really enjoyed watching this! The animation was very nice and fitted this project very well!
The shots that weren't still, such as the boy rolling the ball from one hand to the other were very well done, I noticed his head overshoot slightly and then come back to rest where the ball was before rolling it the other way. Movements like this I particularly admire in animation in general but in claymation I can imagine this to be particularly "fiddly" to get right, so well done! :)
If I had to give some constructive criticism, I'd have liked to have seen perhaps more facial expression from the boy, though I do understand that having all of the characters rather stone faced in this story adds to the horror element, so really I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel with that comment.
The lighting in the dark corridor was perfect as well, particularly when the door creaked open!
Terrifying!
This nightmare seemed important
Nightmares from my childhood haunt me still.
I stopped being able to have dreams. all i do is close my eyes, and somehow wake up the next day, knowing time passed but unable to trace back what happened in that time. that nagging feeling that you're forgetting something important even though every thought of it fas faded into oblivion, never to be traced back. and everytime i do remember something, it's always distorted or warped and skipping over things, like i'm on acid to LSD without any of the feeling. and the worst part, sometimes i can't tell i'm sleeping and loose the ability to tell dream and reality. it's only when i shock myself back to awake that i realized that i was in a dream and then i can't even remember that i was dreaming about. and i fear overtime this happens because i'm scared i'll either do something stupid thinking it's a dream and get myself killed or one day shock myself so badly have a heart attack.
and that's the worst feeling for me.
