Something's WRONG with GRANNY...

Hi folks, lIl be uploading a behind the scenes on this video in the next few days.
It'll share many of the techniques used to make films like this... and explain why I felt the need to re-upload a couple of times ;)

I never noticed how natural the puppets’ movements are and how expressive the Narrator is. His eerie eyes add just the right amount of dread to an already unsettling tale !

As a resident of the pines myself, I truly appreciate the work you put into telling stories worthy of the ill wind that blows through the wood, the creaking footsteps in the night, the snapping twigs that echo the presence of something sinister, and the macabre feeling that you're being watched, only to turn and see nothing amiss. Your storytelling is some of the best mediums for horrific folk tales that come from our neck of the woods, and I hope you never stop telling stories such as this. The chill up the spine of all who hear is a testament to your power as a storyteller.

[William_Bryant]

Barnaby, I certainly hope you don't have a bout of unhealthy perfectionism striking your heart, like some folks here are prone to struggle with. I think we can all agree you hit this one out of the park.

It's criminal how few views this video has. These types of videos have so much heart and charm and it'd be an absolute shame if they stopped being worth doing for you.

The creepiest character is a puppet based on a burlap voodoo doll. Don't y'all love it when story elements just work?

[darthman]

Don’t wanna be an ELA teacher, but I think it’s kinda symbolic how whenever the boyfriend offers a cup of water, he is met with hostility. Just a really cool detail imo.

[TurbFlo]

I don't quite remember the details of the previous two uploads enough to be sure of what changes were made, but I love how this time I think the Storyteller is more engaged with what he's telling. Like he controls granny, and appears behind the cloth of the vision. Makes me really get to see the little details of his movements and hands. It's so amazing how these are just little hand puppets. Great work!!

4:26- 4:42 hypnotizes me. The rhythmic footsteps, the wordless vocals, the chattering of bones…

The third time's the charm, they say.

I've been hoping for this for a while and being born and raised in Appalachia it only makes it better. The fact that each episode in this series has such a distinct difference is so lovely. So far it's been a Germanic forest, winter sea, and Appalachian cabin. I have so much love for your work Barnaby it's been such an inspiration to my own art.

Phenomenal attention to detail! The ghost of the 'witch' around the 7:20 mark was a great touch!

[ziykiy]

After that behind the scenes video I studied this one as well and noticed that grandpa’s body was actually there and I never noticed that detail before.

I love the conceit of a "Grand-Other", it's beautifully clever!

[footbag]

"She'll kill every man who walks this land for sending her to hell"
Something about that line has such power here; the instrumentals, the strain to reach the high note, the finality of it all. Well performed.

[MrsStormtrooper]

Just brilliant!! Your pieces really bring me back to my childhood, we used to have a puppet show about our creepy folklore legends, but now its all gone. Thanks for keeping this art alive!

[StikAaron]

This is just BEGGING for a Part 2! “The Grand-Other’s Revenge” or something like that.

[digitalscott]

the off-kilter lyrics just add to the uncanniness of the song, I love it

[markwhiteraven]

Well after seeing every version, I now know this song by heart. Granted a chilling heart, but hey. Seriously, I love this hunting song. The lyrics are so well thought of.

[lunabee]

I'd LOVE to have just the guitar music by it's self. It's so beautiful.
