Ok, I've improved, and I added a couple of scenes, shortened the opening, and used better animation techniques.


A scarecrow comes to life in an Edgar Allen Poe fashion. That's the basic idea. Just wanted to animate a non explicit not so scary horror film. Just short and sweet really. Being my first brickfilm in almost a year, I'm open to some critiscism. Don't be to harsh though. Remember, it's just a movie with toys.

The opening music was written and performed by be, and I was given permission to use part of the Graveyard Symphony throughout.

I hope you enjoy it.

Does a fence surround a house to keep somebody out...or perhaps it is there to keep something trapped inside...

Hey Gendarme, welcome to Bim.  Great to have new members.  Just to let you know, you didn't give a link for your film.

Re: The Scarecrow Special Edition.

Was this meant to be for septemberfest? If yes, you should read the rules and submission forms more accurately.
Btw, welcome to BiM, you might want to read this
The titles are too long at the start (really, 1 minute of titles is too long, almost half movie), animation was choppy and camera was out of focus, but I loved the music choice. It fits really well the style of the movie. Work more on animation, you'll get better mini/wink.

Thanks MPfist. It's been so long since I've animated I honestly did'nt know what I was doing! I pretty got the hang of it again. My unitron movie will be much much better.

I wanted to submit this to septemberfest but I forgot I wanted to and it's to late now.

Well quite honestly the beginning was a bit slow, and then animation was choppy. Nevertheless I did like the old-time atmosphere it had to it, so nice little film overall. Just keep practicing!
