Great mood.

Great artistry. Loving the tune also.

Very cool!

Very nice chucky!

Thanks everyone!
I do like doing clips, one day I might get the budget to spend more attention to the actual 'animation'.

Nice!

Great Gothic mood.

Very good piece of work. I especially like the colours and textures (was that real watercolour in the clouds?), and that there's a sense of light and shadows.

Some irritating bits: change of movement style within same scene (bat fluidly, guy walking on 4's). Women's eyes not staying in place. The blood vessels could've been a little bit more anatomically correct. But that's all minor quibbling, this is a very nice design (and much better than the vampire themed clip I've started in '08 and never finished).

nice, Chucky!

Thanks Slowtiger, thanks Victor.
Yes I would surely have loved to have paid more attention to the actual animation.
These animation weaknesses things erk me too, but this was essentially a narrative built by the still frames , due to ridiculous budget and time constraints.
I do tend to agree with you, these things could not be helped, even thinking up a new shot wasn't on the crdds, there simply wasn't time, I had four background ( essentially) that recycled and made things wiggle about a bit to help sell the story.

Actually the blood vessels are not that bad anatomically speaking, even though the intention was to stylise I did use good reference. I actually did work in the field of medical animation for some years, .
Those pieces were always checked by a board of physicians before release, this wasn't that and was never intended to educate

Oh yes the water colour. Good question.
So I make my own digital brushes, these ones are using scans of some wet ink splotches that in fact I have made brushes in moho with.
You can use them and get similar effects.
That Stick fight animation uses all Moho vector brushes which in fact utilised scans of the same ink splashes I did years ago.
Other scanned paint strokes and scumbles are all used to build new brushes in both Moho and Clip Studio and then painted digitally.

Great minds think alike ... I also reuse whatever I created years ago, it became a running gag now to incorporate that one background into every job. Watercolour splotches I use in TVPaint, as well as other stuff I've scanned and made into a brush. I also use my own BG textures.

I wouldn't have noticed the few BGs if you didn't mention it!

Yes, the budget. Once I did a 4 min music video in 2 weeks, for very low payment ... it shows, it always shows, but clients are stubborn and miserly. I think you did a much better job than me!

Lovely work!
