Dorothy Gale | Animation Test (Patreon)

Alright here we go.

For 4 years, I have been developing an animated series based on L. Frank Baum's Oz series. Specifically the book, choosing to avoid any Judy Garland / Pop Culture version as our source material.

It has been a long, long road. But... it doesn't seem to have lead to any Emerald City yet. Budget concerns, the amount of other Oz projects in development, and many other tiny factors have lead to my dream project being a bit of a dead end.

There is still some hope for it, but it's still a long, long way off if so.

This video is our animation test. It's loosely what the show might look like. I call it Paper Mario style, with 2D characters on a physically built world. This was shown at Flame Con at a panel about animation showrunners I was on and the reaction was really positive. Me posting this here is my attempt to just see if there's still any interest and keep some kind of momentum up. 

This is still private, and maybe I'll chicken out and delete it in a bit, but for now take a brief look at could've been!

I may share more design stuff with you folks later. SO MUCH WORK went into the bible. But oh well. There's more stuff in development...
