Strange thing happened last night: I saw a really weird clip of Nobody talking about the Number 10! It wasn't as scary and weird as the original clip of nobody counting to 10! It takes place at a tennis court! There's these 2 people, and they both hit 5 balls each. I don't remember how it starts off, but each time one of these 2 people hit the tennis ball, the numbers do different morphing schemes, and it was cool! I don't even remember how it ended!

Where'd you see it, and can you link it if it's on a website?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but that skit scares the frog out of me. I can't listen to the synth noise at the beginning. Urrrghh...*shudders* :concern: :eek:

I have no problem with the audio, but the face really creeps me out, but luckily it was never nightmare fuel to me.

I'd like to ask, since I have no desire to view the video:

1. What colors were the numbers displayed in the segment as they appeared?
2. What colors were the dots that flew by across the screen, and what kind of movements/effects were involved in each of the ten dots?

I know Limbo (the so-called character whom some call "Nobody") appeared to have eyes and a mouth in the form of white outlines.

I am thinking about creating my own rendition of this segment, but with square-shaped eyes and a mouth to make it a lot less or not creepy.at all.

I had no issues with the Scanimate #4 segment, though - perhaps because of the absence of the floating face.

Also, are there any free scanimate emulator programs I can download, or can a Flash animation program, such as Macromedia Flash 8, allow the opportunity to create Scanimate effects?

Also for anyone who were freaked out by the sounds in this sketch (like me), just remember the composer Raymond Scott also did "Powerhouse," which is FIRE.
