I kept updating my halloween project. It started to look sort of messy between all my other projects so I decided to whip up a new newspost.
The Newgrounds haloween contest.
Inspired by Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Meaning it will be a disturbing horror anime. Expect paranoia and gore.
WritersBlock is an amazing writer, he was requested to do 2 horror stories. One for Lochie, and one for me. He decided to make it one complete story, the first part in Lochie's style, the second one in mine. He's spent quite some days working on this, unfortunately I would run out of time if I animated every single scene of the story, so I'm editing this into something shorter.
Eddache has been a voiceactor for most of the doctors. The protagonist is done by TomBanks, and he also does the doctor in the last scene.
While WritersBlock was working on the story, I decided doing some research for my movie. First of, I found disturbing pictures of a haunted hospital to inspire myself. And I have specificly been paying attention to horror animations here on Newgrounds. I will experiment with the scenery, expressions and shadingtechniques.
First thing I noticed when I watched horror flashes here on Newgrounds was that these flashes were drawn very detailed and drawn in perfect horrorstyle, yet most of these flashes weren't all as scary as I'm aiming my flash to be. I noticed why too. The soundeffects are dull, and the songs not creepy enough. In my movie, the songs will be picked carefully, and I'll try to get the sound effects to be as realistic as possible.
Here is some of the audio that is sure to be used:
- The Baron Wastelands, this creepy song will be used at the crash site, along with ambience of the scene which I put together myself.
- Tsumeato, this song will be played during the nightmare the protagonist has during the night of his operation.
- Byakku No(Paprika Version), a guy in a wheelchair, riding through a dark corridor in a creepy hospital.
- Where Am I, what the fuck is he doing in this room with me?!
- Genzai, An emotional tune that soon changes into a horrible atmosphere.
- Where?, A murderer awakens. I'll edit this song so it fits the scene better.
- Climbing Up The Walls, the song is dark and slow, yet innocent and powerfull. I'll slice is up a but and it'll be perfect for the credits.
UPDATE
After some weeks of work I have finally finished all of the scenes!
The script has come to differ from WritersBlock's original story pretty much. I changed some scenes and left others out. And while in WritersBlock's story the protagonist goes crazy in anger, in my script he loses his mind and becomes like some posessed monster a la higurashi.
I personally love how the audio towards the ending became EXACTLY to my expectations. My main focus right now is to get the voices sound right with their environments. That's something I kept for last.
100% Done.
This flash is done.
Awesome.
I'm out of here.

Okay, I've had some time to work on it today, and I don't have too much before Lochie's part is written. Then I should have plenty of time to get yours done, or at least a solid start. But this week I've had family in town and they're chewing up a lot of writing time >:( and it's been hard to find a large block of time to sit down and get a ton of writing done. Lochie's part is near on 2 pages at the moment, so I think it'll be 4/5 pages overall once the two stories are done.
Using some music to keep me in the mood.
Also: A scene in Lochie's story- pushing his girlfriend through the abandoned toy warehouse in a trolley followed by plot spoiler!!!
I'll probably PM Lochie's story to you guys quite soon.

Thanks for sending me the story, I absolutely love it. Also thanks for sending me the beginning of my story. I'm working on the beginning of my animation right now (:
