Animating Segel’s Song – Dracula’s Lament
Remember the Dracula-inspired rock opera from 2008′s Forgetting Sarah Marshall? It was the lead character Peter’s personal opus, and actor/writer Jason Segel performed (and wrote) the over-cooked tear-jerker Dracula’s Lament near the end of the movie (see a live peformance of the song here).
Animator Carlyle Wilson recently animated a version of the song which served as his final film for the Commercial Animation Program and Capilano University. After that, check out this version featuring The Count from Sesame Street (coincidentally, Segel has been taped to write the next Muppet movie).

The style was fantastic. It stayed consistent throughout the piece and set the overall tone and mood perfect with the song.
Keep it up!
