Description

This is a piece I had been working on since my time on TMNT. It was a concept piece for a story pitch I wanted to do at the time. The story was going to be about lost children.Β 


I might adapt the Idea in to something different. The piece was only meant illustrate what I wanted to go for when I pitched the story for animation. I wanted something simple something that took place in one environment with minimal characters that took ad vantage of our stock on the show. I was thinking something along the lines of the film 12 angry men.

Β I felt as a show we did all of these epic things but never took the time to go a bit small. tell a story that i feel a lot of children can relate to. being lost in a place you have never been. that feeling of separation and fear. Might have been a bit to ambitious for an action show lol probably a bit to much like An American Tale" XD


Unfortunately because of the production schedule I was never able to finish it fully at the time. I had been messing with it on and off for years an finally got it to a point where I was happy. Hope you like it

You definitely captured a lot of feeling in this piece! It's beautiful and sad at the same time. Would have loved to see something like this on TMNT.

This is so beautiful. Β Leo looks so precious and sad here Β Do you recall what this story would've been about in regards to the turtles? Β Would Leo have been separated from his family?

Wow! That's definitely a curious idea... Actually, I'm a huge old-movie fan and 12 angry men just-so-happens to be one of my favorites (among many, of course). I love this new aspect of simplification- I know lately- and especially with TMNT- the broader the story and its thousands of unfoldings the better- but this idea of simplifying it the same amazing way 12 angry men did, well, thats simply a golden idea right there haha


If it isn't too much to ask, what was your idea for this, exactly? I know you briefly described it above and all, but I'm curious to see where you'd go with TMNT and 12 angry men, since both aren't exactly the likeliest of pairs haha

E-Mann In reply to AprilAInovator [2013-12-10 14:33:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, a production scheduled is the rail a show runs on with out a set goal the show can go over budget and when a show goes over budget that usually means production ends. Unless the show is given more money.

We had a very small staff and we had to chip in where we could. That ment some of us didn't have a lot of free time after work hours for personal projects.

This was a personal project that I wanted to bring to the show. Even if I did finish my pitch at the time. There still would have been a chance our producers and director would think it was not right for the show.
