Congrats! I've been watching each episode as they've been completed, and have marveled at the solutions you've devised. The finished product looks even better than I expected... fantastic work!

Favorite sequence: not sure... it's all great, but my favs might be the boy running through the jungle, the mummy, swinging Race Bannon...

Well done Roger it looks great - you've succeeded in getting my 9 year old son interested in watching Johnny Quest too.

The combination of stop motion and photoshop techniques makes for an interesting effect - the end result when watching is neither stop motion models nor CGI but something else -- I could see a whole feature like this.

Very, very cool and we all appreciate being allowed in on the process. I must ask though are you done? Is it out of your system or might you be considering the making of an episode? :D

Ah HA HA ha ha. That was friggin' awesome to finally see the complete sequence. Being a kid when Jonny Quest was originally broadcast, I definitely "get it". It gave me a rush watching your stop-motion re-creation.

Thanks everyone! While I will miss working on the project in my spare time, I won't miss working on the project in my spare time, if that makes any sense.

A whole episode? I've considered it but would need a real budget and a team of animators that are better than me, that's for sure!

Better than you? Looks like you did excellent work and practice makes perfect! :lol:
I've done my fair share of stop mo as a kid and I must say at 45 I'd ONLY do it the way you did it. Table top level so I don't wreck my back. As a kid (21 and under) I would have no problem just making the sets on the floor and working down there. I don't make it to the floor nowadays unless I fall to it.

Roger - this is a class A bit of animation and modeling, and the direction of the sequence is right up to par with the rest. Frankly, (not being a JQ fan of old) I find your version more compelling than the original.

I think you could set up a little animation studio based on that alone as your reel. It's too bad fellow texan Robert Rodriquez is so pro-CGI, maybe he'd be interested in seeing this anyway.

Very, very nice! Congratulations! And thanks for sharing on this forum.

Just playing catch up. Thanks everyone for your kind words. About to send a copy off to Cartoon Network. I have a producer friend in LA at CBS that is going to hip CN to the video and find out who to send it to.
