VINTAGE ANIMATION

Jack's Apprentice  
This is a stop-motion animation I did, featuring Jack from Nightmare before Christmas. He teaches my vampire character how to be evil. But this is a vampire with a conscience. I built the vampire clay model with a metal skeleton underneath. I also drew the backgrounds with charcoaland collage, inspired by the silent vampire movie, Nosferatu.

Don't watch if you have a full stomach. (Macromedia Flash)
