Stan Pennant · 09-22-2008, 04:56 AM

Awww no way!
Damn it... I hate being stuck at fucking work.

When I get home I am going to watch the hell outta this, I love Fredrick's stuff! (and his movies too)

I really should stop coming here while I am at work, it just makes me bitter towards my job.

Great preview, movie looks awesome, can't wait.

HMC · 09-22-2008, 11:19 AM

Haha that is suberb. I can't wait for the whole movie.

Stan Pennant · 09-22-2008, 11:47 AM

Yeah, that looks amazing!

I can totally not wait for it.

Aaron Haynes · 09-22-2008, 12:08 PM

Hahaha, such a neat style. I liked this, although the last few scenes caught me by surprise. After such a cute shared look between Frank and the rabbit, with them watching the snowball, it was oddly jarring to see him cooking the rabbit right afterwards. I envision him reaching out and snapping its adorable little neck at the end of that shot.

This should be a very good movie.

Dominator Dan · 09-22-2008, 12:25 PM

haha this will be a lovely movie!

Fredrick · 09-22-2008, 03:07 PM

I probably won't finish A Vampire Love Story in time for the festival, so this was kind of my back-up plan. Not much, but at least it's something.

Regarding the last few shots, this is supposed to be a dark comedy. Maybe I should have made it more "cute".

Thanks for all the comments.

Jesterfoot · 09-22-2008, 03:25 PM

looks good. Love the style!

Ned · 09-22-2008, 06:23 PM

Sharp as usual, Fred.

I remember doing sound foley for this project in its early stages. Two years' worth of anticipation is nearly over!

Tony Chop · 09-22-2008, 11:29 PM

Make it faster and I'll give you a reward (Maybe?)!

David Crowe · 09-23-2008, 11:38 AM

Looks very good. I agree with Aaron that the rabbit being cooked was out of place. Before that scene I just assumed it was his companion or pet.

Anyway, neat stuff.

bl0ppin · 09-23-2008, 11:55 AM

hahahah this was brilliant, really cute, humourous style you got here, and the Amelie soundtrack seemed to fit it perfectly.

This is not really a valid criticism, its part of the type of comedy this movie is trying to encapsulate. It was not out of place at all, it was exactly as it was supposed to be, as the director intended.

You could compare it to the subtly dark joke in Shrek, where Princess Fiona was singing with that bird, they shared a nice moment, until it exploded and they faded from the bird's nest bunched with eggs to fried eggs in a saucepan. It's dark humour, and it's great.

Apfigur · 09-23-2008, 01:18 PM

Woah, this looks really neat. Really good animation, and it has some sort of calm atmosphere, which I haven't seen since Stranger 4. Awesome.

Pizza The Hut · 09-23-2008, 03:05 PM

This was pretty cool. Makes me want to see more.

Rabid Dinosaur · 09-23-2008, 07:40 PM

This looks really interesting.

Slade · 09-23-2008, 08:38 PM

Loved the use of Amelie music, very nice. And of course, visually; incredibly good looking for a rather minimalistic design (save for a few shots). Can't wait. Can't wait for Vampire either!

Breed · 09-24-2008, 08:24 AM

I for one cannot wait to see this. The preview has me infinitely intrigued!

Fredrick · 09-24-2008, 09:07 PM

Thanks guys! And thanks for making a vimeo-version, Goat!
