Hi XYZ! I use Blender software to animate all my films. It is a free animation software you can download from the internet. I shoot reference footage to help me get the action right. As far as inspiration I've always enjoyed scary movies and have read up on the many paranormal creatures of the U.S. & worldwide. Keep watching, another film is in production now!
The blade was hidden in his walking stick. That's why he took it with him when he went to investigate the strange noise. Thanks for watching and be sure to share with your friends!
