[My Childhood Nightmare]

Now that w as a pretty eerie dreamy! More so the parts with all the people looking than the part about getting dragged into the darkness. It's the smallest and most familiar things, I suppose. Wonder how much of this is really exactly as it was in the dream too: the pictures on the walls? Wallpapers on the walls? The door handle slightly twitching as you crawl out of the room to fetch the ball? Overall really nicely done! Smooth claymation/stopmotion, and more so you really build up the mood.

Wow, I was going trough old comments, and found that I somehow missed to reply to this one. Better late than never I guess :). The dream took place in my grandparent's house around year 1992 and I was trying to recreate the scenery as closely as possible. I had and old wedding video on vhs transfered to dvd, just because there were some scenes filmed in this room and I wanted to see what the wallpapers looked like at that time (I don't have a vhs player now). There are the same pictures on the walls of my young father, aunt and some old pople in that room to this day. The cupboard still stands at the same spot to this day too. I took a photo of it when I was visiting my grandparents and made the exact little cardboard copy for a film. The carpet is no longer hanged on the wall, but it was at the time and I made it as close to the real one as possible. The twitching door handle was actually an accident. I kept touching it accidentally while animating the kid. I was going to photoshop it out, but my girlfriend suggested to keep it in, because she thought it added to the creepiness of the video. So I kept it as is. I really love your comments. They are always very insightful and it's clear that you pay attention while watching the videos. If you really liked this one, I would be very curious to know what you thought about my newest big (~23 minutes long) claymation video "Baby boy". It was uploaded here on October 2019, so check it out if you're interested. Thank you and have a nice day :)

[Stocked and Locked]

Well that ended pretty bizarrely! Do wonder what everyone else made for their assignments. XD Surprised to see some 3D from you too. It's not Pixar-level amazing, but it's not bad! Voice acting accoustics feel a bit off. Echo like that of a small room. Otherwise: good stuff!

[Hey, are you up?]

So it was all about the back! Took a while before it all fell into place. What a trip. Thought it was about being alone, not being able to sleep, freaking out, going insane... nice way to bring it all back to reality at the end there. This is where he is. Interesting mix of animation and real too.

[Twig's World Pilot]

Well that was random. XD It was fun but... I think I liked the last one better. Not sure if it's the lack of conclusion in this one, or that they repeat similar puns (tree, man!) rather than re-inventing the whole purpose of dialog (as with the time travel thing), or if narratively it just feels a bit more rushed... but either way it was pretty entertaining! Whichever one of the scenarios you choose is bound to make for some pretty entertaining chains of events. The wandering through a forest is definitely a more innovative approach than the sitting-on-a-sofa too, if that was the reason for the change. Looking forward to however this turns out! And nicely voiced too!

[The Adventures of Fapman - A NSFW Batman Parody]

lmao. XD Plenty of clues leading up to that ending, but it still gave a chuckle. The scripts riddled with witty wordplay, and voice acting as close to the original as you can get. Looks good, too. Wouldn't mind seeing Fapman actually tackle that fiendish femme fatale trio, but for parody purpose this was perfect. Nice work!

NeonIguana responds:

I agree. Fapman def needs to get his hands full with something other than himself. I just wanted to get the series started to be honest with you. There will be plenty of fun for Fapman in the future. Thanks for all the input!

[Jar of Dirt Animated]

Well that was fun! :D Still amazes me how much entertainment can be derived from a simple jar of dirt! Nicely done, and subtle re-usage of animation in the mix too. Thanks for the entertainment.

[X-men 3 in a nutshell]

That really summed it up! :D I'm impressed you managed to fit in pretty much all key points of the story (actually ran an X-Men movie marathon last week so this is still fresh in my mind). Something about the bridge though? Or did I just miss that part? Images are basic but entertaining, though narration feels a bit slurred sometimes. Wonder if you'll be making more similar ones, or just for the ones that seem a bit absurd when you simplify them like this? Good stuff.
