What the Shell?!

Here's my short I did for the Nintendo Short Cuts Film Festival.




Here's some BG's by Tony Mora:

I thought it would be funny to have everything in Mario's house pipes, just because, you know, he is a plumber...

This is before textures.

This is after.

I animated the whole thing in a weekend. It was a lot of fun to get my Mario design movin'. I've been dying to ever since I did the first painting. Here's the animation before I comped in Tony's BGs, you can still see me super rough animatic on post-its.



The music was by the awesome band 8 Bit Weapon.

If I did more shorts, would guys actually buy a DVD collection?
