Think before you post anything online or share information in emails. ![]() Steadicam shots are used to maximum effectiveness as the camera glides through the silent halls of the mausoleum, forever suggesting the lurking menace and delivering in spades in the memorable gruesome conclusion.Īs a result, the film’s setting has a personality of its own and it helps elevate what might have other been a muffled misfire by a first-time movie director. Prefiguring atmosphere-heavy films like The House of the Devil (2009), One Dark Night is full of lingering shots on the vaults within the mausoleum and the notes, cards, and flowers left behind by grieving loved ones. Atmosphere and setting also play a tremendous role in why the film “works” even thirty years later. One Dark Night is, at times, a pretty weird movie with director McLoughlin’s offbeat choices and sense of humor relying on the same brand of wacko charm that powered the director’s Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986). Will the dead psychic’s daughter figure out what’s going on and save the kids? Will the lunkhead boyfriend (who wears a letterman’s jacket and rides a motorcycle, talk about laying it on thick) find his Demerol-addled girlfriend in time? It seems that our dead psychic can use his powers to reanimate the dead and after all, they are in a mausoleum filled with coffins hosting rotting corpses, leading into a daffily gruesome final act. That’s when Carol (Robin Evans) and her fellow member Kitty (Leslie Speights) break into the mausoleum and start playing spooky tricks, all of which serves to disturb and embolden the dead psychic in his tomb, our Final Girl type pops a Demerol, and it’s all downhill among the dead from there. Julie is locked into the mausoleum overnight and tries to remain brave as the sun goes down. We get him put away in the mausoleum, his coffin slid into the wall, and then along comes Julie and “The Sisters,” as the girls like to call themselves (they wear purple satin jackets and they feel too much like a low-rent version of the Pink Ladies from Grease, but I’ll go with it). ![]() Instead of just letting the dead serial killer psychic just get up and start killing once it gets dark, One Dark Night invokes telekinesis and gives its big bad the power to move things with his mind, even from beyond (just like Steven Spielberg).Ī psychic vampire, this man feeds on the fear and energy of others to increase his own powers (necessitating his murder of the six women at the beginning of the movie). Director Tom McLoughlin ( Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and the underappreciated Sometimes They Come Back) features enough offbeat touches to transform the standard premise into a unique 80s horror movie that every horror fan should see at least once. Up to this point in the set-up, One Dark Night seems pretty standard fare and we pretty much know who’s going to get knocked off and who’s not. Because their mean girl leader Carol used to date Julie’s current boyfriend Steve, this guarantees an especially sadistic night that Julie has ahead of her and that’s before the dead bodies start getting up and walking around. Meanwhile, an obnoxious “club” of three (3) satin-jacket-wearing teenaged popular girls plot the initiation/humiliation of their wholesome new pledge Julie (played by Meg Tilly, later of The Big Chill and Psycho II, both from 1983). It turns out the murderer was a famed Russian psychic, interred in the mausoleum complex where most of the film will take place, his daughter Olivia and her husband (Adam West of TV’s Batman) are one of the few mourners on hand to pay respects to the dead man. As the film begins, six women have been murdered while their killer, dead of a heart attack, even after death seems to possess eerie powers (sparks shoot out of his hands, that’s how we know). ![]() One Dark Night is truly one of those movies that is a category of its own, but I’ll get to that later. Given its general premise, it could also be assumed that this is another low budget slasher knock-off. As part of an initiation into a club called the Sisters, a young girl must spend the night in a mausoleum.Īt a quick glance, One Dark Nightmight be mistakenly lumped in with Phantasm (1979) as more evil funeral home fun. ![]() Not only can you use 3D motion clips, you can also take advantage of the 3D camera tools, allowing you to place assets in front or behind other assets easily to add a further dimension to your animations. And in addition to being able to use the supplied motion clips, you can add your own from other 3D packages (iClone of course being particularly compatible). If you wanted to fine-tune the lip sync, there are tools available to do this as well. (Image used with permission from Reallusion)Īdding voices to your characters is also a breeze as you can tap a couple of buttons to record your sound and this is automatically lip-synced to your characters. Using the 3D camera tools to add depth to your animation can be easily achieved by shifting the assets back and forth. You can also use the Human IK tools to make modifications to the animated clips or enhance the movements to fit your needs. ![]() Therefore, just like creating a character, starting an animation can be pretty instantaneous. Users are handed a wide range of different motion clips from walking to clapping, jumping, crying, and so on. CrazyTalk Animator 2 was a breath of fresh air in this regard and felt manageable for a greater range of users than many packages. Im a big fan of getting kids involved in animation, but for the most part, the tools out there are pretty heavy for young ones. (Image used with permission from Reallusion) One of the default characters with a selection of the customizable attributes. We could simply load up a preset character, modify it to our hearts' content with the huge library of parts supplied with the software, and then start free-styling some shots. CrazyTalk Animator 2 allowed them to just go for it and start creating animation, and once my knickers untwisted, I joined in. However, I found that for folks new to CG (in this case my kids), who had no ingrained methods or approaches to animation, they would jump straight in and start to layer the clips one by one to create some pretty quirky and fun results. With the character ready to go and the environment in place, its time to enter Stage mode to start animating I found this a slight struggle at first, as my experience with motion-capture data is limited and I like to go in and define my poses manually. Like its 3D brother iClone, animating in real-time means you primarily drag and drop animation clips onto characters and then through a combination of blend tools, transition from one clip to another. This may sound and feel a little alien at first, especially for those who are used to animating pose-to-pose, but after a little practice, you should find your feet. The process of creating an animation is handled in real-time as opposed to the traditional methods of drawing or setting key-frames. Replacing a default character's head with that of Jim Carrey in Composer Mode Evolving from the previous version, you can now create performances that are free from the restrictions of the 2D perspective, allowing the animation to be more engaging and inviting. So what exactly is CrazyTalk Animator 2? Quite simply, it allows you to create 2D animated content with a slight 3D twist. CrazyTalk Animator 2 comes from the same team who created iClone, but is this 2D package as much fun or as unique as its 3D older brother? Read on to find out. Drag and drop animation clips Auto lip-sync tools Import 3D motions from external apps and apply them to 2D characters Multiple rendering styles If you are looking to get into 2D animation but do not know where to start, then CrazyTalk Animator 2 may be the software package for you.

The game runs on a tick-based system where the game state refreshes every 600 milliseconds. The input mechanics are mainly point-and-click. The artisan skills include skills such as cooking, crafting, and smithing. The gathering skills, such as mining, fishing, and woodcutting allow the player to gather in game resources. Combat skills aid the player in defeating enemy monsters or other players, with skills such as strength, range, and magic, among others. There is a large selection of skills, grouped mainly between three different categories: combat, gathering, and artisan. Users can gain experience points (exp.) and level up individual skills, making their playable character more powerful or more capable of using that skill. The player controls a single (human) character and can interact with NPCs, objects, and entities in the game world by left-clicking, or selecting an option from the object's right-click menu, since many objects can offer more than one interaction option.
