Halloweeeeener

Posted by Luis - September 27th, 2008


I had a small and rare get together last night with my designer friends and we were talking about halloween and shit. At some point someone brought up that they heard about an independent french animation/film called Fear(s) of the Dark that's supposed to be showing at a small theatre in the city on halloween. I was intruiged, so I secretly took a mental note and looked into it when everyone had left.

The concept of it is pretty cool, its basically 6 artists telling these scary stories... they arent really related in any way and the styles are all vastly different and it made me think of how cool it would be to do that sometime. It reminded me of Newgrounds Jam Series.

I'm always kind of frusterated at the very basic level of collaborative projects in NG, it'd be cool to create projects like this where rather than base it on a Linkin Park song you just let people loose around a very broad theme. I dont necessarily think you'd have to create a full fledged feature film out of it like the animators of FotD but even like making a collection of 6 scary trailers would be neat.

Anywho I just thought I'd share that. No blatant plug to my own projects for a change! Tom does that plenty on his own.

Interesting concept.
And the video was neat too, kinda gives me some
Hallows Eve Flash ideas...

Hmmm.

That was really something. Brilliant quality of animation and such a diverse display of styles and mediums. Thanks for sharing.

I hear your making a HUGe an epically detailed animation for Halloween.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
God told me.
GOD.
So if you want to call him a liar... go ahead >_>
Shamless plug: <a href="http://forthelose.org">http://forthelose.org</a>

i call him a liar and or unrealistically optimistic.

That trailer was epic.
I like the narrators dark voice, and his commentary.
All those animations look so smooth. And everything moves as though on a 3D plane. Was it done in Flash still?

im not sure if they were done in flash... my guess would be no. Although some of them could probably be recreated in the flash environment i would think

The one with the bug monsters is a definate no I'd say. Same with the hand drawn one.
The brown and black one, and the green one have the possibility though

Just to annoy you 6th post :D

I'd love some more scope in collaborations, I'm really keen to work with people on this site that is sooo overrepresented with talent. The problem seems to be that as soon as you go looking for something to join it's like "okay you're in, animate something on your own without any input from other people, send it to me, and NOW WE'RE COLLABORATING".

It's such a shame and I honestly think you'd get a lot more quality animators getting involved if collabs were about working together as opposed to getting a big score for minimal work.

as to what the solution to that problem is I URGE YOU TO THINK OF ONE LUIS

I think that is really cool. I hope we have some good submissions for this Halloween.

It looks fantastic.

No Marc M. pic? >:C I'm disappointed.

nope. enough of that.... time to grow up!

Wow...That looks like an interesting movie!

Creepy as Hell...but that's how European films can be sometimes.

They really are artists there! Each piece is really unique.

If you ever see this film...please let us know how it was.

------------------

Hmm....you know...Rubber Ninja did mention something about a Halloween Collab...

Is that what you were hoping for?

A NG's Halloween Collab?

Something that truely IS SCARY?

Just Wondering, how close are you to finishing up the NG Sketchbook. Not to rush you, it's just been a long time since you've said anything about it and I'm just wondering when can I expect to see it in the portal. I'd be cool to show it off to people, LOL......... im a loser aren't I? So yeah, what are we looking at, 1-3 weeks, more?

well i'll TRY and have it next month.. i just ran into a host of issues with my comp.

I'll let you know dont you worry

who needs candy island?
its safer at the docks
but there aint no streams of sody pop
a tricklin down the rocks

dammitttt where do you come up with this stuffff

^Beards are for ladies, Zekey. HERE COMES THE PUNCHLINE!

If you're to grown up for Marc M. then why do you still have "CUNT JOKE!!!"?
Although hilarious, childish.

Bitch got owned

damn youre right

ah luis how are you on this fine day?

Yeah, I heard about Peur(s) du Noir a few months ago. I wanna see it, but I don't think it will play anywhere near me. Unless I take a 3 hour trip to Chicago; then I might have a chance.

I also might make a scary Halloween animation if I can get the right sounds for it.

hmm yes I heard about this on .cc
we pretty much all agreed it was awesome.

LUIS WTF?
Where the Hell are your Marc M. Sick Animation Profile Pics?

Also those animations were all very well done, the face one really made me want to try animating in that style. it was cool.

You should tottally make a collab for halloween bout bugs. I would tottally like to join!
