Status Report

I stumbled upon this interview of Michael Grant (co-author of Animorphs) on his new series ‘Gone’, so I thought I’d share this with the rest of you.

This was created for my Flash Graphics class a little while back. It’s the first time I’ve used Flash to make any sort of animation, so obviously I chose Animorphs as my first project to inspire me.

This little short is purposely done in black & white. The style was inspired by several other fandoms, such as Frank Miller’s artwork from ‘Sin City’ and the simplistic figures from Pixar’s ‘Incredibles’ credit shorts.

I know that many Animorph fans often wondered what Animorphs would be like as a cartoon, which is why I made this 3 minute animation as a sort of promo trailer in my mind, something that MIGHT be submitted, someday, to be pitched for an actual Animorphs animated show. Of course, this is purely a fan project (which I got course credit for making), so I’m just glad I got the opportunity to finally work on it. It’s something that I’ve been itching to make for a while now.

So please sit down, enjoy, and comment below to let me know what you think!

This is unrelated to the archive. I got the sudden inspiration to make this after seeing mock trailers for Halo and Scrubs with the 300 movie audio over them on youtube. It took me over the span of 3 days to make this. I know most people hated the Animorphs show, but give this a shot. If you liked my previous music video, then I’m sure this will not disappoint.

Also, please rate the video, and let me know what you think!

Thanks to Mirienne and Dameg, we now have 30 new Japanese illustration scans that were printed in the Japanese Animorph books! Here are a couple of my favourites:

 

The rest can be viewed here, in International Books under the Merchandise Database.

Aside from that, all of subpages in the Merchandise section also went through some minor cosmetic changes to make everything uniform. I’ll be sure to get to more fan submissions on my next update. 🙂

Happy New Years everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying your holidays and are having a great start to 2009. 🙂

No new updates for today, sadly. The last couple of weeks have been pretty insane, but rest assured that I will start working on the archive again as soon as I can!
