I started this animation quite a while ago, though for me, this was made in good time. It was inspired by, built arround, and incorporates a song by the amazing SallyMusic here on sheezy art (http://sallymusic.sheezyart.com/), and I asked her permission to use it as soon as I found the time to work on the project. That project has since been interupted by exams and coursework deadlines and such, but I finally completed it in a 5 hour working marathon today.

I'm really pleased with this one, especially since I haven't animated like this in such a long time, focusing moreso on my programming and building game engines I never get round to completing a game in. I know I'm rambling here but I think for once my work deserves a decent explanation.

For those of you who don't know, a cappella is a sort of music where only human voice is used for all parts of the song, I'm sure you'll see what I mean when you click play.

I'm also quite sure this isn't exactly - or lo, anywhere near - what Sally invisionned when she made the song, as we didn't communicate on this at all, it's simply my interpretation of her song.

Hope you all like it and stuff. I'll try and get it up on Newgrounds for their scrutiny tomorow, but for now I'm off to rest my eyes, hands, and aching shoulder.

RESUBMITTED: Because the stupid updated sheezy still doesn't work for me I couldn't edit properly. Links to our profiles should work now.

Cute simplistic and stylized animation and hilariously dark song. It all works together wonderfully!

Crazy DJ Says:

I think this flash is really well done. Its smooth, and cute. Great job :thumbs:

SallyMusic Says:

Haha, I love it! It provides visual images for all the lyrics, and illustrates the story in a very comical way. Very well done!

MithClearwell Says:

That was awesome! Very dark, for sure... My favorite part was when the little death blob got the popcorn and the little square guy ran into the light thinking he was safe, but he actually did what death blob wanted him to. xD

And I am way too amused by the singing heads on the menu screen!! XD
