The convoy has arrived at the location of the vampire roost.

St. Gabriel Church [condemned] located on the outskirts of Franklin ave. Vampires are drawn to religious objects, which is why they mostly hide in abandoned houses of worship.

Preparations are made to facilitate over two dozen large mirrors inside the main entrance of the church. Vampires don’t attack groups, so everyone is advised to stick around more than 2 people at all times.

Noah is the main vampire hunter for tonight and coordinates the setup.

Mia overlooks the entire process and will serve as Noah’s eyes for the vampire slaying.

𝗡𝗢𝗔𝗛: Lucky tonight. Usually, we barricade the windows ourselves, but this church is already reinforced.

Contrary to legend and folklore, vampires have a physical body, but it is only perceivable through reflective surfaces. With this many mirrors, we get a better chance of seeing the vampire.

It still surprises me at how few people have seen Freak of the Week, and I love sharing it with friends because of the inevitable, “How the hell have I never seen this?” look of awe drawn out on their face.

And man, it really is gorgeous.

Directed by Juanjo Guarnido, it took the team about a year of hard work to hammer out this bloody masterpiece (which you can learn about in his video here) using a combination of 3D animation with the power of college interns  skill of a team of artists to painstakingly re-draw the 3D elements they wanted in 2D frame-by-frame, not to mention the post processing and… everything else.

 Even though it came out in 2014, it doesn’t seem to have ever garnered the attention it truly deserves.

I really wanna drive this point home, so to give you an idea, Ghost by Mystery Skulls, animated by MysteryBen27 has 18,147,263 views.   Freak of the Week has only 2,271,121 views at the time I’m writing this.  That’s fucking depressing for something so … phenomenal.  I want more of this, and hell, maybe you do too.  But we’re not going to see anymore simply because the right people haven’t seen it.  In fact, it failed to reach a respectable level of Internet Popularity®, Juanjo himself even described it in the comments section as having ruined him because of how little attention it got.  

So if you’re reading this and you’ve got some connections with a TV network or something, consider pulling some strings to get this video spoon-fed to the masses, because people ought to see this.  I’m sure Juanjo would be all too happy to oblige.  And hell, if you wanna buy the art book, you can get the link here for about $50.

Now, maybe you recognize the former Disney animator Juanjo Guarnido for his other work: Blacksad.

Which is a comic set in the late 1950′s about a hardboiled private investigator published originally by Dark Horse Comics that does… y’know, the …

… noir investigator …

… aloof ladies man…

… badass …

… detective story thing.

That I haven’t yet read but I TOTALLY NEED TO.  

Look,

I guess I’m bringing up Freak of the Week because I was reading the comment section and, man, it kinda got me down.
