After years, I am proud to announce that we have a new short film up on youtube, in the form of an animation fan film. This project was originally abandoned for a year and a half as I felt no one was interested and knowing that is was extremely difficult to get right, what would be the point in doing it if there was no demand for such a project? This changed when I recieved enough calls from my youtube viewers after they saw teh teaser trailer to complete it.
It has been a very challenging task to achieve, as I felt it necessary to up the ante by doing something original with the backgrounds WITHOUT GREENSCREEN, and spending a lot of time of the sound designs, so that these figures actually sound exactly as they do in the films. This was difficult because I had to remember or search for certain words, sentances or sounds from each franchise, then check if the sound is useable and free from any unwanted music in the track itself . I also had to find shots of useable rooms within the actual films where there are no characters standing in the foreground or background, as I wanted it to seem as much as an unofficial crossover sequel to each original franchise as much as possible. In a sense this is a sequel that is a standalone and therefore draws it's own outcomes as to who lives and who dies and how. I think I achieved a more authentic homage than my other attempts at animation.
The funnest part was of course animating the fight scenes and lighting it to match the backgrounds. This was also challenging as you can imagine, I tried to avoid reflections and loss of continuity. A few scenes were actually redone becuause the errrors were too obvious to see.
This film will mark the return of production from Horrorville. Anyways enough talk... Here's the link to the animation:

ENJOY!!
