The Thing In The Distance

[cachanilla2990]

Your work is awsome.. I showed my sister and she liked it x)

[Elliotanimated]

@cachanilla2990 Thanks! Tell your sister I said "hello!".

[Wraith59]

I really love your work, silent, simple and awesome. Greetings from Argentina!

[Elliotanimated]

@Wraith59 Thank you so much Wraith.

Tell your friends : )

[VesperDrow]

brilliant

[Elliotanimated]

@VesperDrow - Thanks! Be sure to tell your pals.

I miss the acoustic track with no other effects. The visuals were always enough to carry the day, but the six string made for a wonderful audio enhancement.

Nonetheless, this is a pretty cool presentation as well. The solid body with reverb filling in the background in the audible distance is a neat effect. Rock on!

[Elliotanimated]

@MartySchrader - Hey Marty.

Thanks for your feedback - bigger thanks for taking the time to have a think about it.

If I'd had the capability at the time, I'd have included sound effects on all of the other films.

Sound really does bring animation to life.

It was a real thrill to add it to the last two films.

Either way, thanks again and keep watching!

Another A+ production - touching on some pretty cool fears.

[Elliotanimated]

@Melorama2000 - Glad you like it.

Tell your friends : )

Boxhead sounds like an angry rhino.

[Elliotanimated]

@paxson001 - Maybe he is...

[GitGitaar]

Disturbingly brilliant!! Great sounds.Like the bit at 1:23. LOVE B&R*****

[Elliotanimated]

@GitGitaar - Thanks Git.

That's a popular moment.

[GitGitaar]

@Elliotanimated Let me refrase that: it's brilliantly disturbing!! I think I'll have a cup of tea now......

[Elliotanimated]

@GitGitaar - Tea is very important...

[MCGEE1115]

Another classic Elliot

I tried to think of some voices for them but nothing seemed good enough.

I cant imagine them speaking complete sentences, just grunts, goans, squeaks ect.

I cant wait to see what you come up with.

How long does it take you to make a 5 minute vid?

I just love these guys!

[Elliotanimated]

@MCGEE1115 - I've spent a lot of time with B&R, McGee.

I know just how they sound.

A five minute film like this one took about 6 weeks to animate altogether.

I do it in fits and starts as work comes up.

Thanks for lovin' them.

Send the links to all your friends.

[michcio90]

haha liked it very much :) though no boxhead/roundhead music ... but still really good!

[Elliotanimated]

@michcio90 - Oh there's plenty of B&R music there, just a little different is all.

We all believe in progress here at Head HQ

[keeton]

freaking.... awsome

[kayman93]

Very nice! ^^

[Elliotanimated]

@kayman93 - thanks : )

[SlaughterLamb]

So good! Hearing so many mouthnoises from them is strange, but I love it.

[Elliotanimated]

@SlaughterLamb - Thanks. They'll be talking soon properly. I think I'll be able to make another this year.

[SlaughterLamb]

Be careful with that. Voices could ruin the magic of it all. But I know the need to push on to newer things and ideas, so I'm sure you'll do your best to make it as great as ever. Good luck anyway, and I can't wait for the next 'un!

[Elliotanimated]

@SlaughterLamb - Here's a secret. I've already produced 3 minutes in which they DO talk.

The feedback has been very good.

I was very particular about the dialogue, and even if the voices aren't final, they'll be similar.

I'm very sure you'll like 'em.
