Back to the late ‘80s with some dev art done for a TV special and pretty cool feature film based around Shamu. The story was kinda’ like X-Flies meets Jaques Cousteau (Google him kids ;p)
If I get to it I’ll scan in the controversial art that contributed to it never getting completed.
Good art

Thank you very much :)
DeleteLove all your work! Is it possible to purchase one of your sketchbooks? My email is undercut@gmail.com if that helps.
ReplyDeleteThese looks great! I never knew there was an animated Shamu special and animated in development in the late '80's.
ReplyDeleteNow I'll add this too one of my animated movie development list! I plan to revive hand drawn animation into movies at my future animation studio. I am currently studying to become an animator.
ReplyDeleteThis movie has a lot of potential! Maybe someday, I would convince SeaWorld to return to this project and release it, and maybe make an all-new traditional 2D animated feature based on Shamu and other marine creatures.
I loved going to SeaWorld as a kid and I myself was born in San Diego.
Hi Kamal!
DeleteThanks for the kid words man!
You let me know if you get them to revisit this. I still keep in contact with one of the directors and he's still in San Diego too.
Bringin 2-D back is all of our goal! ;)
All the best!

Hey there, Jeff. Sorry for the late reply after four years. I still believe that this project should see the light of day. And who are the directors of this project?
ReplyDeleteKamal! Long time no read! lol:P Hope you're doing well!
DeleteThe directors names are Al Lowenhein and Milt Grey. They're both still around and active in the industry, although I don't have their contact info. I think the bigger issue would be getting the rights from Sea World more than getting the old directors back. Keep in touch man! jmerghart@gmail.com, my email is much easier ;) Stay well!
