Artist's Comments

Sorry, kids. No Valentine's Day next year. ;-)

On DVD! (click)

--------
FAQ:

1. What's the song called?
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg.

2. Is that legal?
I should hope so! I paid a nice fee to use that recording which, by the way, is royalty-free and not a violation of anyone's intellectual property, for those of you who are concerned.

3. How long did this take you?
A couple of weeks-ish.

4. What did you use to make this?
I have a huge pile of tracing paper that I used to draw most of the artwork and some of the movements. After scanning those pages in, I traced them and went from there in Macromedia Flash MX. I don't use anything else when it comes to Flash work. Additionally, if you're looking to pick up the habit, yourself, I highly recommend saving your pennies and buying the real thing. I don't know from personal experience, but - judging from some of the questions and notes I get - the cheaper programs that use Flash technology aren't ideal.

5. Why do you hate Valentine's Day?
Why DON'T you? You're working for THEM, aren't you? I knew it. KNEW IT. ;)

6. What's the little girl's name?
Ohhhhh... let's call her Stella.

Thank you, everyone, for all your kind (and constructive) comments! I don't have time to reply to them all, but I do read each one of them, and I really appreciate each of you taking the time to leave your thoughts. So, thanks. :)

WOAH! It gave me a feeling of hatred and revenge. Just like what I would do on Valentine's Day. Cool!
