above video and 2 below images from http://leoswindow.blogspot.com/ as he did the computer work to mold the images into an animated movement



found at CTN expo, while walking among the booths! I hope by helping to spread the word, to increase the number of interested people, and have a positive affect on the making of this!

"Between A Rock and a Hard Place" and I hope to see it as an animated short, soon!

James was an animator at Disney, and a prof of 2nd or 3rd year at Cal Arts (I'm piecing bits of info together here)

But here are some awesome things he's done I enjoyed immensely; Paperman, Flushed Away, and Lion King

I'm not the only one gushing over the project: http://hauntedmansion-northside.blogspot.com/p/steampunk-project.html

Please, please, please say you have a Kickstarter. I would fund the hell out of this.

  1. Jess, Mike, I made a mistake, were I placed my comment regarding these animations. I put it on the post below this one. I'd love to see Hullabaloo Steampunk by Lopez go to full production and come to the movie theaters. Not sure how much of this animation is computer generated and how much is drawn cell, but it looks great.

    1. Looks all computer, but ask James... I'm probably wrong no matter what I guess... but I sure can find the good stuff! Love this hobby!

    2. I saw a panel in which James Lopez spoke about it. He said the animation blend was a lot like the CG/2D animation blend used in Paperman.
