Lightbulb Scary Story WIP

Would like some feed back on this. It's in black and white(LW black and white image filter). Used some free sound files from various sites. Just trying to create a certain atmosphere. I might add a narly-looking tree with an owl on one of the branches, where you can really only make out it's glowing eyes. Or maybe something coming out of the tall grass(sasquatch btw) The sky is eki's skygen. Remember the old black and white vampire movies?
This site rocks and Philip you definatley kick-ass!

The file limit is 2 mb, you might want to try and use a better compressor and/or give it a smaller frame size.

Default Finally? (keeping my fingers crossed)

Well like I said about 2 days ago this is just a simple scene in which I am trying to build the spooky kinda atmosphere. I have only used LW. I know it's a little static but it's a start. The grass is sasquatch, some sound fx from off the web as well as the black and white image filter. Was kinda going for the 'ole black and white monster movies. And as a side note if nothing appears this time I am going to SCREAM Peace. And thanks for any advice you are willing to part with.

Hmm.. nice. To really get that old horror movie look, I'd seriously consider dropping in some film grain on top of the animation (and maybe colour processing it to get a slight sepia effect)

I agree with Mark but also would like to see some rubber bats on strings flitting through the scene... just to capture the old Dracula feel :p
