aww....poor T-Rex, didnt even know what he did wrong,

stupid pteradactly

there's no such term as "smuggled"

[voltairenyc]

He's not saying that. He' saying "Smothered"

I could be seeing things, but is there a slight film scratch? Was that intentional, as in 2007's "Grindhouse," or just a result of actually being scratched? I think it adds a nice effect, myself.

[voltairenyc]

Oh, there are many scratches... and light leaks too.... some real some added for effect.

[numb19029]

what's the font called that you used? i've been looking for that font for a while.. by the way nice animations

[voltairenyc]

I think it's called Exocet

[Tanqol]

Voltaire is one of the greatest Artists today

[budrose]

Great video! I was hoping to see it again after DragonCon.

72 hours... wow. Isn't that the point when most folks start hallucinating?

[SynysterGatesofHell]

Did I just watch...a t-rex eat out a pterodactyl?

Awesome.

[4thtroika]

This is really good!

[mummymetaller]

.... I want that T-rex!!! I'd sit it next to my Xenomorph on my desk :)

I'll just have to settle with sketching it down on paper for now

\m/

[Hbomb117]

Very nice work Voltaire!

[NuclearLullaby]

absolutely brilliant!

[EvilKittySayzRawr]

I'm not gonna lie I had to have someone explain that to me. I didn't get it.

[TheScreamingCarrot]

I like this a lot! Very, very well done!!!

But why is it tagged with the nightmare before christmas? Aside from the stop motion there arent many similarities....

[skullythebloger]

we all love Voltaire a artistic one but unfortunately a lot don't see this art they say it scares them but the truth is they scare it... D:
