    You did a bang up job with this!! Remarkable! Especially noticeable for me are the way you built up the mood in the episode with the muffled color inside the house and the music for the episode contributed a great deal to the episode feeling just right. You should be proud of yourself. The ending was especially reminiscent of how many eps in Tales from the Darkside would end!! Just in general, your work proves that the series is just begging to be revived in the modern age. There's so much that could be done. From a fan that grew up watching this series as a kid--thanks!! When you can (if you can) it would be cool if you made a fan episode of Monsters. I loved that series too but it had a completely different feel to Tales from the Darkside.

      @@FlyingLotus Basically, I'll send my characters through iClone to Unreal using Auto Setup. Then I stream my mocap data from Perception Neuron to the character in iClone using Motion Live. I'll clean up the animation there and use Live Link as a guide (it always helps to see the character in the proper environment). Once the clean up is done, I'll either export an FBX or use Live Link and Unreal's Take Recorder (it depends). You apply the animation to the character in Sequencer. Then you create your shots and export the movie from Sequencer. It seems like a lot but once you get the hang of it, you can speed through the process and it's actually lots of fun. Unreal has every tool you could possibly need to make the films you want. In my opinion, it has no competition when it comes to camera quality and options (other than Maya but we're talking real-time animation).

      Thank YOU for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed my little Tales from the Darkside episode. It's about time the show got a little love!

    The intro music always scared me 😅

      Me too! It's one of the creepiest themes around. Unforgettable. That's why it was so much fun to try and match the style of the original show. Thanks for watching!
