woaw, la 3e version en couleur est super, top job

Awesome animation my friend really cool :)

amazing work .... fantastic video

Super!

Wow, I’m speechless, this is a fantastic animation.. impressive work !!

cool intro with the flock of bats and Halloween theme Johnny. one creepy zombie making it's way through the grassy area and coming out of the ground fx. both versions are incredible, the B&W adds more old time horror movie look. as always you are a master in animation my friend.

Amazing work ! You are in a class all by yourself.

They both look great, JohnnyM! Fantastic achievements for both versions! Excellent and creepy Halloween video! Many fine praises and accolades from me to you on this stellar creation!!!!! Happy Halloween!!!!!

super work on this, both visually and sound wise, the B&W really has an early Hollywood Horror vibe, I bow to your tremendous patience in putting this together, always a joy

Impressive directing, outstanding horrifying atmosphere, fabulous camera angles, brilliant rendered movies.
Magnificent Masterpieces of Finest Arts, Hitchcock would be very proud. I love it!

I love creepy, and these videos satisfy my visual palette perfectly :) I really like both versions, but I think the B&W has a greater impact. The sound track is perfect too. Absolutely top-drawer work--congrats.

They're both fantastic, but I think the first version is a bit creepier. Nicely done!

I'm so glad to be able to see these incredible videos (yes ! this morning it worked !) I must say I'm speechless...OK, it's creepy even scary but it's mainly a wonderful piece of art. If I had to make a decision, I'd vote for the BW version which reminds us of the 1940's movies...I now have a whole day to convince me it's just a video, not the truth !!!

Well my friend, it is still a fantastic work, my congratulations !!

Put me right off me cornflakes! Fabulous and really professional work!

Thanks for sharing.......great viewing

the two versions are equal, obviously the black and white brings a more dramatic touch, and it is simply superb

This is freaking outstanding, Johnny! I actually got goose-bumps... Brrrrr.... Love both of them. The B&W has that feel of those old classic films, and the color one was super creepy. Both were beautifully done! Top marks, my friend!

You are so right about the love of art here. I've been here the better part of 11 years, and have made so many wonderful friends. And I have NEVER spent over 10 years on one continuing project in my entire life like I've done here with TNA.. If that isn't love of art, I don't know what is! LOL

Keep 'em coming, Johnny!

Great job on the movement of the creature and the overall atmosphere. I like the old Hammer House of Horror films so would be more inclined to pick the Black and White version.

Great work, sorry again for my absence. Splendid scene.

Beautiful but creepy and well made video! I like it.

what a wonderful time of year...the leaves are falling, ghouls are climbing out of their graves ..Just gives me that warm cozy feeling......Fine work on this animation my friend!

incredible video! I'm very impressed!

wow you're really good at this, Johnny. You really have the feel...The still image (previous) was very effective, with that green zombie like creature crawling down an incline w/ that beautiful moon in the background (and pink hues in the clouds)...but then the video comes along and whoosh...

yes, the black and white has a more traditional horror-film feel, like the original Wolfman, or the great James Whale films (Frankenstein, Old Dark House, Bride of Frankenstein---the latter two are incredibly funny as well as being deliciously creepy). You lit the dead man very persuasively: He stands out beautifully against all that dead-of-night graveyard shadow. A dark nostalgic feel, ending in his lumbering emergence from the mire. (Your leaves, here, are like an ocean---very effective.) And btw, the Psycho score---I assume Bernard Herrmann---was perfect, along with the other horror-like music. Your sound effects were really well chosen too, as well as balanced (ie, they were loud but not overtaking). As an old musician and sound designer, kudos!

I liked the color version just as much---you used a jaundiced yellow, very visceral and creepy, and even had some bright patches of it as he crawls out, in the beginning. Your choice to start out with him from the back, crawling out, is terrific. Then, as he emerges, those great creepy warts on him really show up. (Like, duuuude, get some calamine!) Also his movements are like those of a swamp creature: He half-walks, half crawls. In fact his emergence is almost like the emergence of humans from the primordial ooze...Another fine sequence from you; and the moon's appearance brings a whole new palette to the piece. You wanted to capture halloween---ya did it, sir! Really fine work.

As for the devotion of the artists here, it's absolutely true. I've known artists on and off the web who, as you say, give their hearts and souls to work that may not make a dime for them, but which they do for the love of it. You caught that spirit, yes. (I did professional work too, but I can say that it wasn't one bit better than the work I've done for the love of it.) You can safely say that art is a calling...I love this animation.

Excellent

superb animation and composition on all 3

Brilliant and so very well done !!!! The B&W has the feel of the early days of Horror films. For that is a wonderful tribute to the genre. The color version pops an lot more and provides more visual clues to the escape from his underworld bode to this side of the realm.

What can definitely be concluded is you are a talented animator with what I hope is a long and rewarding path ahead of you. It is an honor to say I saw your early works !!!!

I am in full agreement with all who commented. I like both versions.

Great animation!!! :-)

Wow, you've gathered and condensed all the specific ingredients for a mindblowing and most creepy reminder of Hallowe'en times; whatever the version, black and white or colored, the music sets the fast pace of the frenzy with which zombies are back to life and apparently very blood-parched ! Wonderful video technique and finalized outcome for us to enjoy ! Well done, fine kudos and many thanks for your latest visit to my 'provençal' gallery !
