Gryphon School After Dark
Okay, first of all, I want to say that 12 year old me would have lost his shit having access to equipment to make stuff like this. Second, I’ve been feeling very much like 12 year old me losing his shit playing with this stuff for the last three days working on this. =D So, with that aside, Happy Halloween from me! Hope you enjoy. =) Be sure to have the sound on. ^_^
Nice try, Connie.
Noice!
Yeah, the technology that allows the artist to do so many things that is in the reach of regular people as opposed to studios is incredible. Glad you’re having fun with it! I mean even your tablet is incredible when you think about it, not to mention we’re accessing it on technology more powerful than what let us get to the moon. Still, it takes imagination and artistic ability to do it. Thanks for the scare, and a belated Happy Halloween to everyone.
Of course, having the technology is of no use whatsoever if you don’t have the talent to utilize it… and I don’t.
But sometimes it’s just about having fun too. =)
I’m there too. I have some small artistic ability, but I have never been able to transfer it to tech.
Can the animated movie be far behind?
Probably very very far behind. 😛
We experimented with similar over at Ranmabooks.com a few times (to the extent that Paul’s Gryphen high looks an awful lot like our Furinkan high… not specifically, but I wonder if he’s using some of the same programs) but eventually we decided the time investment was just way too large to be worthwhile. We’d be making updates twice a year instead of 4x a week, and people would quickly forget we were there. 🙁
Now, what we DID take away, was that 3D environment sets –once built– make fantastic, nigh-infinitely camera-adjustable backgrounds for comics! 😉
Like so:

So… perhaps, in addition to the occasional fun pseudo-animation like this, we may see more 3D backgrounds from Paul in the future. They take longer to make, but if made well, you only have to make them once! ^_^
Oh really now?! Are we delving down into the world of animation now or is this just a special occasion?
Happy cheap candy day!
okay you bastard… I almost dropped my coffee…
Well done.
Nicely done! And unlike Twin Peaks, you didn’t stretch it out for 20 minutes.
Very nice and entertaining video, and having seen dozens of youtube gameplays of the FNAF series with the kiddos over the last couple of years, I have grown to anticipate jump-scares, but Connie still got me.
Also, the classroom chairs look really hard and uncomfortable. You nailed that aspect of high school.
It’s the Haunting Club. You know, the kids who learn how to perform unprovable, cliche scares on others. They can find work in “haunted” attractions, special (usually “practical”) effects, and as diversions and cover for real para activity.
Looking at the setup I was expecting a jump scare. Then when it happened mentally I was like: ‘Oh hey Doubt, Monday is it?’
Good view though.
For some reason I only twitched slightly . . . don’t know why.
Made me think of an early piece of work from you (http://wapsisquare.com/comic/boilerroom/)
Actually saved the URL so was easy to find again 😀
For some reason Gryphon High’s logo reminds me of Finland’s “Special Lion”.

Very nice. I guess the question is now can you use machinima and some vector graphics to create a comic in real time?
Nice work! Having worked in haunted houses you become inured to jump scares, but these types of videos always have always bothered me. Not because of the jump scare but because when it comes they ramp the sound up so much it hurts my ears. Yours didn’t do that. It was perfect! 🙂
It’s one reason why, for me, find classic thrillers more of a heart-threat than ‘slasher gore-porn’ horror movies, specially the old Hitchcock thrillers
Well! That certainly got me to catch my breath. Nicely done.
Paul, while it of course made sense to post this right near Halloween, at the time, have you since considered moving this video back in the archives to the “haunted school” story arc?
May not right in the middle of the hallway scenes, since that might confuse readers into taking the video as an actual plot-point, but near the start, sort of as an mood-setting introduction to the arc?
