The animation and plot is absolutely incredible. The effort put into this short film was worth it.

ZanMiller responds:
Thank you very much! That's what keeps me going
Loved the spooky aesthetics. That attack was the rube goldberg of sword play.
ZanMiller responds:
Thank you! haha
The beginning is interesting with the turquoise spirit floating through the forest, shaping into a ghostly figure. Then, the scene transitions to a cat, followed by another scene of somebody running. You're presenting multiple narratives simultaneously. The turquoise ghost spirit moving around is extremely well-made, and the dynamic camera angles are powerful, along with the shadows and lighting.
Defining multiple narratives and then having them all conclude is a very good technique.
There is so much detail and great atmosphere. The sound design emphasizes and helps move the narratives along very well. The transitions are really well-made.
The plot reminds me of the premise of "Save The Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need" by Blake Snyder.
The design of your website is also amazing.
ZanMiller responds:
Thank you for your thorough response and analysis :) I'm glad you noticed the work I put into the story, however simple it may be. The original comic I made had some confusing holes I tried to fill with this animation.
I haven't read that book but it definitely sounds right up my alley :) I am a librarian after all
Thanks for checking out my website! It's very fun to add new elements and items to it
Thanks again for your thoughtful words and feedback, stay spooky
the line with the guy with candle on top of the head was quite unclear tho.
ZanMiller responds:
It translates roughly to "Flaming fecal matter, why be my nourishment ablaze?!"
what someone would call a "banger"
amazing
ZanMiller responds:
A "certified hood classic" if you will
