Halloween Singing Pumpkins 2010 - the Headless Horseman

Another great song. Love your faces! Much better makeup job then me... Love the guy with the jaggy mouth the best.

Thanks. "Harvey" is my favourite as well. I wasn't willing to shave my moustache to film these, so my hand was a little forced on the basic designs. I do think having the large mouths makes a good effect though, especially when the pumpkins are "idle".

What software are you using for this? Just curious.

@bopeesdad

I use Adobe Premiere, but you can get the same results with any editing suite that lets you crank the contrast and make it negative.

@Karlfalcon So, did you do the animations, or did you just create negatives like you suggest?

@bopeesdad

These aren't animations - it's negative video of lip-synched facepaint. DatBates explains how on his channel & website.
