Animated Halloween greeting card

28Oct2009

School has left me no time for crafting again this week, so…I’m posting my homework. I made this Halloween e-card for my beginning Flash class. Turn up the volume, then click the hand to make it play. Can you guess what movie Lord Morley is from? The tune is by Rodney Sauer, and the thunder is by Dylan Hicks. Though I drew everything by hand, much is inspired by 1920’s silent movies and the art of Shane Illustration and Blackmoon9, among others. (Hey, we’re graded on technical criteria, not originality.) Enjoy!

So cute! Thanks for sharing. I hope you got a good grade. (I love the owl blinking in the tree.)

Lord Morley, that’s an easy one. He was the dude who was wacked and the two guys from the yard, I mean Scotland Yard, tried to find his killer. BTW one of the main investigators is dead now too.

Hi there! My gosh! You are amazing and a great inspiration for me. Its so great to see what you can do with so many stuff which usually ends up in the trash can. And I love recycling and you´ve done such an amazing job with all the things you laid your hands on. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and showcasing them. Amazing!!!!!!!!!

What? No one has guessed the movie yet?! Aaron gave you some great hints. If you haven’t seen The Private Eyes yet, you should run out and rent it now.

nori – Thanks! I’m taking web design classes at my local community college. Some are online, but most classes are in person.
