HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Every October I'm overflowing with creative energy so this year I thought I'd pour it all into a silly little short film called "THE CARVENING" that I made in the span of 3 weeks. When two kids dare to watch a gruesome VHS slasher film called "The Carvening" about a violent Jack o' Lantern killer, it hits a little too close to home. Combining my two passions of animation and horror flicks I was heavily inspired by
@someb_ooks 's Over the Garden Wall and
@johncarpenterofficial 's Halloween. I couldn't have done this without my Director of Photography
@chris_kas whose artistic eyes made the live-action shots pop with light,
@bough_tie for acting his ass off with a 20lb pumpkin on his head and overall producing skills,
@dillb0b for an impeccable sound design that not only enhances the short but straight up makes this thing scary, and lastly my brother
@adam_incontri for lending me some amazing voice acting as a scared little kid. Oh and of course my kind and lovely wife
@elisewine for her constant support and patience that was tested throughout this short film haha. Happy Halloween! #animation #shortfilm #halloween #horror #horrormovies #october #pumpkin #jackolantern #2danimation #characteranimation #slasher #film #cinematography #character #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #spooky #spookyseason #scarecrow #costume #scary #spookyart #scarymovie #overthegardenwall #animated #mattincontri #matthewink #incontri
