  • Bitchin.

  • I ALWAYS WATCH THIS VID I LOVE IT ...

  • You really have some amazing creations...great work and Ideas ..Keep it up!

  • You know, this actually looks interesting.

  • Wow! This is awesome! I'd have bought it. :)  I'm working on a proof of concept animatic right now!

  • please finish it it looks awesome

  • thanks for upload!

  • awesome i loved it!

  • Anyone iterested in upload "Slaughter day"?????

    PLEASE !!!!

  • dude- your work is awesome! i'll bet your family is really talented too! don't you have a super-cool brother who lives in NC who sells displays made of cardboard? now that is a cool job! i have followed your work for the past 36 years and am a big fan!!

  • DUDE! you got the great Anthony Scott to do the Stop Motion !!! Don't know if he's the same person I'm thinking of. But the robot has been animated beautifully!

  • Yes, he is thee great Anthony Scott. Animation Supervisor on "Corpse Bride" and currently working on "Coraline". He and I worked together on "James and the Giant Peach". Anthony animated the full body shots of the robot, I did the close-up underground shots.

  • Cool, I think this pitch has potential. I really like the timing, it has an energetic music video vibe to it. As far as the comments of it being cliche go, animation is built on pushing stereotypes.

  • Have you tried pitching it to The Cartoon Network?

  • I sent it to them back when Linda Simensky was still there, but haven't sent it to them since - maybe it's worth another shot. Though I have the inside scoop on another robot show that they're going to be doing so I doubt that they want two robot shows on their network.

  • i can see why they rejected it

  • I like the voice of the girl....

  • It was a great animation, but why you did not make the same animation with the other characters?

  • This was a concept test for a series pitch to Nickelodeon. I didn't have the time or budget to flesh out the whole piece with full animation. The purpose was to give them a taste of the flavor of the show and a little bit of the style and look of the finished footage. Like previs for a movie, or an animatic.

  • Ya think Les Claypool might be interested?

  • I would make a 3-5min finished segment to submit. Generally now they want to see a show pitch in full complete animation, and not story boards.

  • My impression was that they wanted to see less, not more. They want an idea and a few bits of artwork that they can morph into their own kind of thing. They want to hang their ideas on your framework. One thing that the exec expressed to me was that Jhonen Vasquez (Invader Zim) was, as he put it, a "difficult creator". In other words they want someone who, in work and in person, is easily malleable.

  • Dude, very nice. Too bad that Nick did not accept it. Have you tried going to Adult Swim? Maybe even an internet network? I really liked what I saw because it is different from some of the junk that is on Cable TV these days. I can see this as an eclectic mix of Animatrix sytle mood and Hip Hop/DJ antics. Keep on Going. The only thing that I would suggest is to finish the clip out so that it doesnt' cut out so soon.

  • Love the style...It's got life, but no soul...

  • All I gotta say is this is cookie cutter at best. We've all seen Giant robots comeing outta hidden caves to defeat monsters attacking cities. If you can put a spin on it you may have a viable series, however currently its just annother giant robot show. Thats just my opinion anyways.

  • have you ever heard of MEGAS XLR, it pwnd

  • Sweet stuff! I'd watch that.

  • cool

  • EXECELENTEEEEE

  • very nice job...

    keep it up!!!

  • AWESOME!!!

  • its a real shame this was passed on

  • looks more like adult swim material

  • they should have bought it

  • I'll buy it, serious!

  • I want to make a complete short film, Engineero... hopefully I'll get the time to do that one of these days, but I work for an fx company called The Orphanage, and we're super busy doing vfx for movies and stuff... so it's on the backburner for now

  • Well, you should make the series anyways. Who needs Nickelodeon, when Mr.Internet is here.

  • looks good to me- very inspireing

  • Thanks!

  • That's awesome dude! I'd so love to see a series like that.

  • I sent it to some producer friends at Cartoon Network, nothing yet. I want to complete a whole short film with the characters, even if it never gets picked up. Right now I'm working on other stuff though. Glad you like it.

  • very, very, very cool. Most badass pitch I've ever seen. Did you try the other networks? If not, you should. Maybe you could adapt it to a feature. I really like your storyboards, they're some funny drawings. I wonder if they passed on it due to the production challenge such an effort would pose. They'd really have to set up a special studio to produce such a series.

  • Dude, I can totally see why that wasn't picked up. Good work on the robot animation though. Please seek more grant money to finish more animation, I wanna see it as it was intended ^_^

  • I'd push it on MTV as one of their promo spots.

  • THATS BLATANTLY BETTER THAN HALF THE STUFF U GET ON TV. CONTINUE FLESHING IT OUT MORE AND KEEP PUSHING IT EVERYWHERE TILL SOMEONE ACCEPTS IT. DON'T GIVE UP!

    THE ONLY THING THAT'LL STOP U MAKING IT IS U GIVING UP! GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS! =)

    Painting Stop Motion

  • this is awesome.

  • wow, awsome concept. the character style seems to resemble hey arnold to me.

  • needs some in-betweening.

  • its got a nice feel, keep your head up high man.

  • great talent! perhaps too close to iron giant, and the "primitive" flavor/setting makes it less hip as they liked?

  • I think thats ace.Keep pushing it and try the bbc or itv in the uk.I would have loved this as a kid cos i love it as an adult.Flesh out some more episodes and they will spend more time looking at it.Good luck mate.

  • I like the animatic! It's pretty well done! I'm not to sure what the story is though. . .aside from the obvious!

  • I never get tired of watching this. My favorite part is when the robot places the house back. x3

  • Why didn't they put it on Nickelodeon? It's awesome! still if you can make more it would be very nice

  • I loved it. Why didn't they like it?

  • you have the potential!

  • its kinda gay

  • That was good. Nickolodeons missin out

  • That was pretty nice. I'm surprised nickeloden didn't buy it.

  • That was pretty cool. Nice work. ^^

  • nice

  • Nickelodeon should've taken it! ><

  • lame

  • I think it could fit on nick, but i also see it could go on cartoon network, not adult swim thou, and remember suck a producer once a day may get you paid lol

    See my cartoon the abnormalz

    keyword - abnormalz

  • that was kinda wierd!

  • cool

  • check out this new THE DUMBEST SHIT EVER episode, its truly the dumbest shit ever,or at least close to it.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=b8p sO7jfjeA

  • renickles, u have to understand this isn't a finished project but i do agree it was a piece of shit only due to the fact that i've seen this stuff all before. anywho i would kinda appreciate it if ppl would stop sayin that it belongs on adult swim. audlt swim is anime and comedy strictly. since this fits neither requirements i'd say it belongs on ABC Family at best and that's if you suck off a few producers first =P lmao

  • rexnickles, The thing is "shitty played our premises" as you called them work. I like the new twist of kids being dj's. Hell right now they've got animated shows about Handi capped people that are doing great. The kids aren't dull, you cant tell because of two reasons, we dont get to see them animated, and its just a pitch, the show cuold he completely diffrent and if executives thought the show was to dull, and wanted to buy it, theyd make him change it anyway, Try using imagination.

  • Love this. Adult Swim it must be. More, is there?

  • i wouldn't watch it. just because its stop animation, doesn't mean its cool. ecspecially when you got a shitty old, played-out premise.

    and why are the kids so goddamn dull?

    and why is there a DJ? does he somehow activate the robot? even my 9 yr old brother thought that shit was lame.

  • awesome, where is the claymation bit though? Do you have any video with both claymation and puppetry in the same shot?

  • I like it. sell it to disney.

  • Four words: Pitch to Adult Swim

  • I think that was pretty cool... Given that MTV went with offbeat stuff like Aeon Flux and The Maxx, they're probably the best bet you've got.

    Failing that, some kind of site to promote community, a campaign to sell it, donations to fund more etc. Are probably the most sensible thing outside of sexual favours to studio executives.

  • CRAP!

  • i THOUGHT IT WAS SICK..nICK DONT KNOW SHIT..!

  • I guess Robot Chicken isn't exactly claymation, but its pretty close since its stop-motion animation, and Robot Chicken is awesome. I think Moral Orel is claymation, but I'm alot less enthusiastic about that. But thats not because its claymation.

  • that isnt a nickelodeon type show, i agree with the people who said to sell it to mtv

  • You should try selling it to Disney. They'll buy anything.

  • 2002? DUDE, you should make this into a regular animation! This would be really good. Roughs are fun but why not make it more?

  • Dont worry Nickelodeon only plays shit now.

  • this was freakin wicked

  • that was...intresting.

  • i can see uve put a lot of effort in to it but it wont float well with nick. plus kids these days arent really into claymation i mean how many good claymation series are out these anymore? other Wallace & Gromit which has been around for ever and Pingu most arent very successful at all. i doubt it would work for nick and CN but good luck anyhow

  • This was ok but needs to be fully animated.

  • i liked the little DJ cartoon that was cool. :)

  • Nickelodeon was right. You shoulda tried to sell to MTV instead.

  • Really like the robot!

  • this was really cool.

  • awesome

    

  • you should do the animation in flash..put it on the web... make your own fame..

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=WF-JX3wzqko

  • I'm sorry to say it, but DefiantDragon is right. Nick doesn't go for that sort of stuff. Remember Invader Zim? It was one of the coolest shows ever produced, but because it was on the scary side, Nick cancelled it. You should send it to Cartoon Network. There is a better chance they'll buy it since they are interested in shows that are full of action and are sometimes on the creepy side. Good Luck!

  • Dude... the robot rocks! If you could do the whole episode in stop motion then Im sure you could get it aired.

  • hmmm nickelodeon currently airs 2 shows that diserver to be noted. 1 about a pre pubesent blue robot with pig tails and an ongoing identity crisis, and 1 with a sponge with an oddly errect nose who works constantly to survive and is shunned from his community and they turned away your idea about robots fighting crime? where are america's values....

  • Your robot looks like it's going to tear someone's heart out and eat it - which, while cool - is not something that's known to sell to Nick’s mostly kid market.

    Look at Rugrats: It's cute, it's cuddly, it's COLOURFUL. Your designs are dark, moody, and - frankly - scary. Try to make the robot less evil

    looking - Red, glowing, angry eyes on a GOOD guy? The kids character designs are well done and are probably the strongest part of your overall presentation.

    Good Luck!

  • nickelodeon is stupid

  • I like it ^.^

  • if this ever got into Nick. I would go back to watch it bcause I kinda gave up on it. Since it was rejected, try Cartoon Network.

  • get in! thats good work, loved the scratching, the robot had plenty of appeal.

  • hmm, i think the robot looks very trashed... he could be more sophisticated to have more of an appeal... the idea is good tho

  • really kool ^^ love the robot and gawd u can draw good!

  • yeah. Adult swim might be interrested or cartoon network in general. Nick tends to just play crap these days. I mean except for avatar. I'd have sooner torn out my own eyes than watched spongebob as a kid. I mean even the dumbest ren & stimpy episodes were less damaging than even five minutes spongebob.

  • cool!

    keep trying.

  • ya that's what i was thinking, it looks real good

  • Try selling to cartoon network for adult swim, just add some spice and politically incorrect jokes! the rest its fine! =)

  • that's cool...love the idea..

  • I thought it was really good!

  • Well Weapon!!

    Keep it real!

  • the robot's pretty evil looking also! it doesn't seem great from this clip.the whole concept i mean.. could you fill it out more, because it seems extremely sparse and one-dimesional from this

  • THat was great your a good drawer I think nick. didn't buy it because they aleady had a show similer to it a couple of years a go on kablam I can't remember what it was called though it aired for about a year in a half then they toulk it of it wasn't all that great but I think if you pitched it to them then they would have loved it I think it would have done a lot better then the other one.

  • you should try pitching to Cartoon Networks Adult Swim

  • I'm not surprised Nickelodeon didn't buy this.

  • ...

  • I like teh drawins tey rok

  • I like it but it sucks that the DJ comes so often..

  • esta bien chingon!!!

  • This shit is awesome sadly claymation is out and anime rip off is in...

  • its too much like that teenaged robot series they already have. the robot chick gets all big and turns into crap and fights monsters and crap like that. I hate that show, but its similar to this, so it wasn't original enough.

  • I liked it. Very original and great concept. The media doesn't care about quality anymore, only what sells. I'm sorry it didn't go through.

  • wow i like it, new and original hope this gets aired soon. five stars ...

  • I loved it, as a graphic designer- seeing a lot of animated work like this, this movie is great for a short movie or even an idea for an animated series.

  • watch Ren and Stimpy. its way better than this shit.

  • Keep it up, develop a whole narrative thread to the pitch video. And yeah, go to Cartoon Network, although I think this is too kidzy for Adult Swim. I like the idea of mixing clay with puppet, although wasn't the robot a stop motion armature?

  • man that was cooler than half...no...wait....ALL of the cartoons nickelodeon shows. They are so f'ing lame lol. the fairly odd parents and stuff like that....booo. i dug the music also. good stuff.

  • wow that was so cool =D

  • you should pitch to adult swim great idea, would like to see this as an "adult cartoon". Good luck. I enjoyed this.

  • Hope you continue. Even if it is web only. My 5 year old loved it. She wanted to watch it over and over again.

  • it's cool and original; at least you're keeping your own style of art. It gets boring watching anime by now.

  • I miss the Nick of old.

  • five ******

  • How come stuff like this never happened to me when I was a kid?

  • i thought it was kinda cool

    if all the drawn scenes were animated it would have been perfect

    really cool idea :D

  • hells ya man, that was the shit! did you do some college courses or something to get a better background in this? if so dude email me back at dr.moeron@sbcglobal.net

  • Nickelodeon are idiots.. this is brilliant .. keep pitching it, and submitting completed shorts of it and then one day the hype that it gets will smack them in the face for dropping it. Amazing.

  • hawt

  • G.J.

  • If you had come up with this when Nick was airing "Kablaam!" I think they would have bit...

  • It wasn't horrible, but it definitley needed alot of work.

  • Can someone compile all of the suggestions into one list and I'll make a new film based on those... send it to the email on my user profile.

  • It would be really cool if it was all stop-frame animated. The robot was awesome.

  • I like the final walking scenes however the premise of an underground robot doesn't seem that original. Maybe something more unique about the robot, like a pirate robot.

  • This is pretty sweet... but what the heck?

  • that was kool man

  • ya so its cool plotted and all you just need to ditch the clay stuff and make it full fledged cartoon and a better looking robot with some kickin' sound effects then you got sumthin goin there e-mail me i will give some good advice  -kidd

  • this is so flipping awesome =D

    I love it!!!

    *glomps* <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Awesome

    

  • ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm i relly dont get it why do thy have a robot under there hose also im sorry but the consecpt to me is just relly supid (also what about the house pluming )

  • that was gay

  • That's very clever.

  • This was pretty cool. You have a lot of talent!

  • You should send this to Cartoon Network. They will most likely buy it.

  • Lose the DJ and the show'll be at least 12x cooler.

    Kids shows are just getting dumber and dumber.

  • idea's a bit random... n the dj kid?! but the robot was on par with tim burton, well done

  • meow...*purrs*

  • Not bad you should try to send it to adult swim and make it more adult funny

    Joltfreek // Videos (7) | Favorites (0) | Friends (0) - (48 minutes ago)

  • That was excellent, you have a lot of potential and with some minor revisions or some new ideas I'm sure you could sell your series to a network :)

  • we gotta wake the robot

  • i was stoned it was awesome

  • Not bad you should try to send it to adult swim and make it more adult funny

  • ha ha I love it.

    xMUPHiiNx

  • i didnt really like it to be honest. with shows such as robot boy etc people aren't going to want another show centered around a robot hero character and although animation is obviously very common and its nice to see something different i dont like models here look a bit amateurish. lmao and wat was the dj thing about at the start that was just confusing especially to the target audience and o yh techNNNNNO!

  • This is different. I like it. I would like to see more because u have wet my palat, but I need more to make a true decision

  • This is the coolest thing I've seen in years! Great work.

  • its alright

  • Wow, that was a really good bit of it...It could use a little work, but all in all...It was awesome!

    They should've taken, I'd of watched it...

  • Kick ass!!!

  • i liked it who ever drew it....man! i wish i could draw a stick figure!! O_o good job

  • no!! it is not crap and is not violent for kids!

  • nice! really nice video!!! i really enjoyed it!! does anyone want to be my friend?? i am new here!

  • its too violent for kids...like scary.

  • crap

    

  • ASSEMbæerEX>> what is wrong with you O.o?

    could you do it better?

    Good job screamingskull

    i like doing animations too ^.^
