The Devil (Or Demon, Or Monster…) Is In The Details…

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Laer

From Laer:

Although I thought I was nearing completion of the first of this year’s Halloween window animations, I found myself frequently coming up with more ideas and a lot more details to put into it.  The resulting animation so far is quite tactile (leaning towards slimey and steamy!), and the creature animation in it turned out really great!

I’ve been working on this for a few weeks now, (pretty obsessively!) and tonight I did a full-length test render, just to see where I’m at, and there are still plenty of things to adjust and add, … so, I’ll be working on this a bit longer than expected!  I may start working on the elements for some of the other planned animations in the meantime, just to give myself a break from this first animation once in a while.

I can’t wait to see this one projected full size.  Response to the sneak peek I showed a few people has been very good!

We’ve got a nice assortment of ideas for this year, but as usual, if you have any requests or suggestions, by all means, let us know!

Cheers!

Building More Stuff…

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Laer

From Laer: Hey, everybody…  I’m working on my latest animation for Scaremation.  I just finished building an articulated model of a spider for it.  I’m hoping to have a few new animations available for purchase this year.  More news/previews as they develop…

Thanks!

A big thanks to those of you who purchased animations so far from Scaremation! It’s been a successful grand opening!

We are eager to create more, and you’ll see a large variety of styles and price ranges for next year. Andrew will be joining in on the animating, and I already have a lot of ideas that I’m sure you guys will love. We’ll be working on them through the year, and are always open to hear your requests.

Thanks again for your support!  Have a great Halloween!

Wake up! It’s finally done!

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Laer

Hell has frozen over… Pigs are flying… and I’ve finally finished my latest Scaremation Halloween window animation, Skeleton Zombies!

It was delayed a few times (because I kept thinking of new things to add, as well as finding new ways to improve what was there already), but now it’s done, and ready for purchase at our Scaremation website!

Thanks to all of you who waited patiently, as I obsessively tinkered! I hope you all really enjoy the final work! I’m certainly very proud of it.

A revised preview clip is available for viewing here.

For the rest of the evening, I’m officially ‘on holiday’!

Cheers!

A (projector) light at the end of the tunnel!

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Laer

I’m finally nearing the completion of my latest haunt animation, Skeleton Zombies, for Scaremation!  The latest test render is looking great, and I just have a few more tweeks to do before I’m letting it go.

In the meantime, for all of you who have been anxiously waiting for me to finally release the damn thing, I’ve included a sample work-in-progress preview clip (click this link to view) on our product page, so you can see what I’ve been working on all these weeks (and judge whether all my delays are worth it!).

I’m planning on having it ready for purchase tomorrow (Friday, October 7th)… although, you know me, it may be delayed another day!  (But, it’s looking very close, and I think this time I’m ready to release it!)

Perfectionism, the true horror…

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Laer

The sound mix for the Skeleton Zombies went well, and it’s all looking great.  However, me being who I am, I want to tweek and add a few more things to make the sequence even better, after watching the test render.  So, I’ll be working on that today.

In the meantime, I’m planning on putting up a sample clip for you guys to check out.  I’ll just add a few things this morning, then render the sample out and upload it (Thursday, October 6) and set up a link to it on the Products page of the Scaremation site.

Again, thanks for the patience, and I apologize for the delays!  It’s ‘done’, but I’m just putting final touches on it before releasing it.

Zombies in the sound booth

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Laer

The Skeleton Zombie animation is now in the audio editing stage.  I’ve been working day and night on the animation, adding and improving on it, but trying to wrap it up so you guys can get your hands on it!

I’m doing the audio today, and am hoping to have it wrapped up by tonight (Wednesday, Oct 5).  So, hopefully it’ll be available to you Thursday.  I’ll post an announcement as soon as it’s up.

Thanks for your patience!  I just want to make sure this is solid before releasing it.
