Description
OK my friends, this is the last one for the time being, since I am going to take some time off for a Summer vacation. I will be back to visit this site again, sometime at the end of July. I Will be spending some quality time with my daughter who is home from her College Summer break.
I owe both Max and Krid a debt of gratitude for the amazing support, talent and inspiration that their art work brings to this art community. This place would not be the same without them. I was heavily inspired to create a Frankenstein animation, a subject which is not easy for me since I don't do Horror characters very well, but nevertheless I attempted to do it anyway. I consider "Krid" the master of Horror characters on this site and I was heavily inspired by the art work which he shares on this art site.
Max is a talented artist who has been a great supporter of my animations and his suggestions on how I can improve my own work is highly appreciated. Max has shared his art work with me to make animations out of them and it has a been a rewarding experience for me in the same way that other talented artists on this site have also allowed me to do the same with their art work. I am appreciative in being able to collaborate with many artist on this site, yet it saddens me when one of them leaves as I feel that a part of this community also leaves with them.
I hope not much changes during the time that I am gone and I will look forward to coming back after my vacation is over, (sometime at the end of July or early August). Till then take care and keep doing the awesome job you all do with your art...you are all a very important part of this community that matters more than you might think, as without you this place would not be the same. I thank you all for the amazing support you have always shown me. I start my vacation on Wednesday, so I'll be here for another day to view and admire more of your awesome art! :-)

in about 5 years i will look a lot like Frank. super details and video Hollywood Johnny. he should hook up with Casper. his view of he mountains is awesome. touching moment with his new friend.
This is wonderful work! Enjoy your vacation; I'll look forward to your return.
Even after seeing this twice on YouTube it's still as amazing and captivating as ever! Terrific job you did here, as well as most of your other vids. I wish our missing old friends were here to see it.
Recently I've watched several short vids on YouTube made by other professional film makers, and while they have some great scenes, they were poorly integrated and confusing ... another words, they simply lack that special subtle touch and emotion of your work, Johnny.
And now go have a great vacation and lots of fun ... you deserve it ;-)
Outstanding work. Refreshing too.
This is great I love the movement you made in his coat very neat work
..for me it is a perfect (and emotional) video and it is more than a honour that you mention me and that you believe that I am an artist who inspired you...Hope you will have a real great vacation
At least that monster isn't after killing somebody ;)
Have great vacation with your daughter and any family or friends coming to you. It will be full season here at teh time you come back, so there are chance we cross from far for few weeks at that time
Super awesome animation of the character "Frankenstein". As always, great work, my dear friend.👍👏🙋♂️
Some people say perfection doesn't exist in this world ! Your video is a good (perfect I shouls ay !) example this is not true. This video is beautiful even if the hero is a monster...This video is beautiful and touching... The encounter with the wolf and the friendship that follows is a must-see. Enjoy your vacation.
I would pay to go see your movies...
A lonely soul found an unexpected friend...no one should stay alone.
AWESOME BRO
Amazing work. Touched me to the very soul. Have a great vacation with your family. Hugs from one of your long time admirers.
excelente trabalho, boas ferias
Really wonderful! Favorite! 👍
Beautiful video and amazing countryside. Very sad when you are alone, but it was a happy ending finding a lone wolf to be a friend and companion. Super well done as usual.
Awesome work as usual !
You are Awesome! I set up a VIrtualCityKid camp over at DiviantArt. I just stopped by to see you. Have fun and take care my friend.
Very beautiful video and a great success.
I really thought I'd commented on this but I didn't. You can read this when you return...I just wanted to leave a formal comment, finally.
This is one of your most touching works---at least from the ones i've seen so far. Max's comment expresses my feeling perfectly. I wish I understood how you coordinate Bryce and other 3D images into animation, and make them move. I assume the last two shots---at the end of this video---are what you based your frankenstein after? One is FStein at the entrance to a cave (I think), and the other is him in Manhattan. You incorporated them into your video beautifully
You open in an arctic wilderness---quite beautiful. The fact that you chose that as your setting sets the tone for the whole piece: Ie, it's beautiful, but lonely. You may know this, but in case you don't: "Alone" is from the roots: "all" and "one". Ie, "All One". Oddly, it meant "at one with itself". Why do I say that? Because your video is about a person who is alone but ends up being at-one with his world, with the entry of the wonderful dog. ("Desolate" is another example of a word meaning "abandoned" but which originally meant "with solace": The root of desolate is "solate" which gives us "solace". It also gives us "solo": To be "solo" in other words can also mean to be at peace, to have solace.) Point is: This video is about being in peace. Ok, enough word-talk...it just really fit what you did here.
I love how you show his breath several times---it brings home the frigidity of the environs, and how human he is.
The "new day" shows your beautiful arctic landscape---I mean, it's beautiful. And it has what artists call "northern light". (Ie, instead of bright sunny light, it's a more silvery glow...it's a light found in northern climes. In fact, the great painters of the Dutch 17th C deal in that light all the time---including Rembrandt and Vermeer: That's the light you have here: diffuse, luminous, and platinum or silvery white.) These sequences are beautiful.
A musical matter: When he kneels on the ice the first time, the music shifts from chorus-orchestra to solo piano: I have to assume you chose that, or at least did it intuitively, because it's too fine to be coincidence. That's good scoring, Johnny: Ie, knowing how to match the score and image.
Then he touches water rather than ice---which seems to signal a 'warming' of his journey.
Then he walks through a beautiful fairytale forest, where the landscape oozes beauty at each turn. That beauty sets the scene for the entry of the dog-companion.
The dog appears, walks with him, looks back to be sure he's there (a typical dog act), and they rest and care for each other.
You couldn't have made this more poignant if you tried. It's only a few minutes long, but it's beautiful. Enjoy your time off. Hope you're all safe and stay cool, and you'll be welcome back when you return! Beautiful work as always.
very touching work :-) magic feeling :-)
