This day marks the three year anniversary of the day that I joined YouTube. And what better way to celebrate it than release a film?

And that film happens to be this: A short Halloween film that I made using my new Quickcam Pro 9000. I still haven't figured out how to film so that I don't get so much annoying light flickering.

I wasn't going to make a Halloween film this year because I didn't have much free time. But I've managed to make one Halloween film for every year that I've been animating: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and now 2009. This time I couldn't come up with a good idea that was also very short (a problem that I have all the time), so my sister, Emily, suggested the idea of this film. So I made it.

I think this film has the most special effects in it compared to its run time of any film I've made yet. It's only three and a half minutes, but I had many effects that I've never even tried before; such as the flying geese (THAT took me quite a while to do) and the ticking clock.

Also, if the music sounds a little sloppy, it's mainly because I hadn't practice the guitar in several months, and I learned, practiced and recorded this song in an hour. And I've always had trouble playing perfect for the microphone. That mean old microphone! (less info)
