The Tell Tale Heart

The second video I made is from the Warren magazine Creepy, drawn by Reed Crandall and adapted by Archie Goodwin. I P-shopped the artwork from the magazine, animated it, and did the voice over (the V.O. was meant to be only a temporary track to get the animation timing down - I meant to redo it later but the view count started climbing...so I left it as is)and the credit music.
Please note:In no way am I trying to infringe on any copyrights - I'm just a fan that wanted to animate that story from one of my old magazines.

Very nice effort. Reed Crandall is the greatest. The animation is really well done both technically and creatively. PLEASE get help with the voiceover- it was very hard to understand- but please do more! There are some great EC stories out there and this technique would be an awesome way to adapt them!

rivards2001,

You're so right about my mumbling V.O.-it was meant to be a temp track to get the animation timing down and in my haste to post I left it in (lesson learned:Don't post at 70% wait for... at least 90%).

I was going to fix it anyway and your comment will probably speed that up.

I'm also working on another story that'll be posted soon so...

To be continued,

Roger

this is a good story,but the narrator is too dull.

[tigerqueen007]

And he ends up with the deadman's eye! No wonder he freaked out in the end!!

[mztryz]

Changing the ending?  Of a classic Poe story? Really? Unbelievable!!!

Superb Sir!!!

If I may;

The artwork is great, a harken back to times past!!!

But please let us enjoy the art more slowly, along with a slower reading of the story.

The frenzy of the murder scene, however was superb!!!

Overall a superb job, with a tweak here and there on the timing, this could be something to enjoy for years...

Thanks.
