Same section as last time, but now Johnny has lip sync, the zombie is properly rotoscoped, and so is Barbara. Roto is tedious. I’m doing sketchy work, but every 2 frames. That’s 15 times a second. Per character. Now my wrist hurts. To prove it, I actually recorded my work habits with a webcam today. […]

Weeks later, I’m back on this “Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated” scene. I’m jumping around a bit, so Johnny still needs lip sync. The Hinzman zombie is a junky placeholder — I’m thinking of rotoscoping him in that shot. There’s also a severe lack of Barbara there. But… I wanted to get this test […]

Animate This! / Community / NOTLD:R / Subterranea April 24, 2009
All this week, while I was focused on animating a few scenes, Mike Schneider was thinking about the big picture. He was getting all the pieces in place for a relaunch of the Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated website, along with a new trailer for the project. Behold, the latest trailer! If you watch […]

I heard today about a short scene early in the movie that still needed attention. It’s about fourteen seconds of action in the cemetery featuring Barbara, Johnny, and the Bill Hinzman zombie. Exciting! It sounded fun and easy. I just worked on the first few seconds for a couple hours, but I don’t even have […]

Here is the completed animation for the 49 second section I’ve been working on. The deadline for content is the end of this week, so I’m sending my files off tonight. My half rotoscope / half flash puppet method is very time consuming. If I’m called on to do some more orphan scenes (which I’d […]

Here’s some more work from that same scene for Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated. My style is changing from shot to shot because I’m playing around, having fun. When finished, the whole movie will have a patchwork quality, so I don’t feel the need to stay consistent from shot to shot. When I’m done […]

As if I don’t have enough going on this month with Script Frenzy, I’m also doing some animation for Mike Schneider’s Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated project. The idea is to take George Romero’s 1968 zombie classic, which fell into public domain many years ago, and redo the entire feature in animation. Artists from […]

Animate This! / Jason: The Rebirth / Subterranea February 13, 2009
It’s Friday the 13th! In honor of the theatrical reboot, I’ve remastered my Jason Voorhees fan film for widescreen. It’s never looked so good!

The AWN’s media website has changed its name to Animation World Network Televeision, or AWNtv for short. H.P. Lovecraft’s The Other Gods, which previously had a home in the “demented” area of the media site, has a new address at http://www.awntv.com/videos/the-other-gods There’s plenty of other great independent animation at AWNtv.com, so head on over and […]

There’s a new feature over at Unfilmable.com (the world’s greatest news site for Lovecraftian films). In the upcoming months, guest writer Tom Sullivan will be sharing his “Reviews of the Infinite Abyss.” I’m proud to say THE OTHER GODS is the subject of his first review. Here’s a sampling of what Mr. Sullivan had to […]
