What Should I Be For Halloween? (EXP Con)

The audio comes from Garfield's Halloween Adventure (hence the picture). Other than that, I think I've said everything I wanted to say over on the video information page. Got an honorable mention at EXP Con 2008

Warning: The video is in .mp4 format, to keep the file size down as per the org's standards. Anyhow, for everyone unfamiliar with .mp4's; they don't play Windows Media Player, so you'll need something like VLC Media Player. If that bothers you for whatever reason, then don't download the video.

What the hell are you talking about? I watch all my mp4s in Windows Media Player. I just watched this one in Windows Media Player as well.

You just need the right codec pack

Ah. Well, I'll eat my words on that one then.

You get a awesome

from me because you used Garfield. That cat grew up with me, and I still have a stuffed version of him in my room.

It also helps that the video was awesome in almost every degree. Short, sweet and festive. :O Also, best credits ever.

aaah, your vids are so well-made and funny! Love the extra's like the sweatdrops. Really do.

but to offer some critique, the one thing I did notice is that at 0.16 when the guy says "me", his mouth isn't fully closed for the "m". It's inaccurate! *noes*

;p

Wow, that's quite the compliment. Thank you! I'm glad you really liked it. I almost wasn't going to put the Garfield clip in during the credits; but I thought it'd be interesting to show where the audio came from. Plus, the credits would've been rather boring without it.

To be honest, when I was editing this, the whole issue of fully closing the mouth for the m hadn't crossed my mind. What was at the time, was that to and me kind of "slurr" together or rather that the break between the two words was less than the span of a single frame. I decided to not have a fully closed frame to keep it more fluid looking, since the closure would have been really short anyhow.

At any rate, I actually did go back and render a version with a frame of a closed mouth at the m; but it really doesn't make much of a difference at all (least to my eyes, I don't know about anyone else's) unless you're really looking out for it. So I'm not going to bother with a fixed version; it's more trouble than it's worth. Quibbling over a single frame seems a bit nit picky anyhow.
