Grim Fandango Lego?

shadow_judge · 08-11-2007, 01:02 PM

While wandering on Youtube, I saw Monkey Island movie made by Lego. And I think, this stuff is great, so why can't we use Lego to recreate a Grim Fandango movie? I am pretty good at Lego, but I've never tried to make a stop-motion film before. I hope someone could make Grim Fandango by Lego, then it was very cool. I think it's not really hard....

Any idea?

Du Man · 08-12-2007, 10:46 AM

can you find the link again on Youtube and post it here?

shadow_judge · 08-12-2007, 11:30 AM

What do you mean? Nobody did a Grim Fandango Lego, but many people did a Monkey Island Lego theme movie. So I ask everyone to make a Grim Fandango movie... sounds pretty cool, right? I think it's not too hard to do it, but, the only thing is, we have to make a Manny's skull by drawing on a blank white head... maybe?

maybe its that... wellll wellllll

I watched it... In my opinion, this is pretty sucks. I don't feel the theme of Monkey Island, somehow.

Eh, coulda been worse.

shadow_judge · 08-12-2007, 12:17 PM

Back to the topic, shall we?

urluckyday · 08-12-2007, 01:33 PM

In a pushy mood today are we?

Sallim · 08-12-2007, 04:14 PM

shall we...dance?

oh well it doesnt look that bad. A movie in this style would be nice, but its alot of work too.
I would rather like to have have a funny flash movie like this ( maybe very old and already known! )

urluckyday · 08-12-2007, 04:47 PM

That was pretty good.

Colossal · 01-14-2008, 08:33 PM

hmmm not a bad idea but I will need dozen of lego skeletons figures

DeadYorick · 01-14-2008, 11:28 PM

You can just paint over regular lego figures. The problem is you would have to be a very experienced painter to do that. Anyway GF lego would be pretty cool to see

Colossal · 01-15-2008, 08:50 AM

that's a good idea but what about Manny's head? adding extra brick on the head will look similar but sloppy... any ideas? Any volunteers on getting involved?

Du Man · 01-15-2008, 12:35 PM

put some paper tape round the middle? I bet there's a long white cylinder some where in the lego collection.

Colossal · 01-15-2008, 12:49 PM

that should do the trick, when I have some free time I'll search for the lost lego box

Colossal · 02-26-2008, 04:11 PM

can anyone help with something? I cant find frontal shot on Manny's head
for Eva will be a bonus

I'd understand it if I took one more year of German...

Off-Topic. Just a little question: Where are you from?

*James Isaac* · 03-03-2008, 12:36 PM

Something which I think would be very impressive would be if someone could recreate some of the scenes/architecture from Grim Fandango. It could be done relatively easy with one of those computer programs for designing lego models (can't remember what they're called...) but would take a lot of patience.

Colossal · 03-03-2008, 12:41 PM

I started recreating Manny's office couple of days ago

I hope all will go smooth

urluckyday · 03-03-2008, 03:18 PM

best of luck...make sure that you post a pic or two of the final product

urluckyday · 03-03-2008, 03:28 PM

^lol, not Germany.

Sven_Q45 · 03-03-2008, 05:00 PM

Yes, i know.

But where? UK, USA, Australia, France? UK, i think... (?)

urluckyday · 03-03-2008, 05:28 PM

lol, I'm not from the UK, Australia, France...but I'm not saying I'm from anywhere specifically...

Sven_Q45 · 03-03-2008, 05:51 PM

What is special? You live on the earth, like everybody.

But, where exactly?

urluckyday · 03-03-2008, 06:03 PM

Do I?

Colossal · 03-03-2008, 06:55 PM

^One thing is sure - you don't live in lego world :P

urluckyday · 03-03-2008, 08:11 PM

^Huh? Legoworld? Where did that come from?

Colossal · 03-04-2008, 01:44 AM

read the topic

urluckyday · 03-04-2008, 08:45 AM

Oh...well that was just slightly random that's all...

Sven_Q45 · 03-04-2008, 10:27 AM

Legoland is real: Denmark.

The home of Lego.

Now, where??

Uh, 101 posts.

shadow_judge · 04-15-2008, 12:37 PM

It's a good thing that I've came back for a long time missing, and this topic is still working on. Heh, I suddenly remembered about "Grim Fandango Lego" idea while thinking of buying LEGO Indiana Jones , and then I decided to go back to this forum to check out if there's anything new. Woah, this topic was on the top.

Deja Vu?

OK back to topic:

To tell the truth, I've been playing LEGO for almost 15 years (since I was 2). If only I have enough amount of Lego in my hand, I could remake scenes from Grim Fandango. IMHO, I don't thing that's too hard.

Maybe I'll mess with MLCad... in a distance future

. Student's life is quite busy you know. And moreover, building a LEGO building is taking pretty long time, not even mention that building it on MLCad is even longer (and eyes-hurting too)

Just made it for one month ago.

Manny's office : here is a screen shot to have a rough idea how it looks it still needs some tweaking and adding

Du Man · 05-07-2008, 05:46 PM

any way you can make Manny look less evil? And didn't Manny have stuff on his tables? I know the one on the left had plenty decks of cards on it.

Colossal · 05-07-2008, 06:01 PM

he is mad because there are no books and deck of cards :P I'm working on that and the books and cards ... that was just a sneak-peak

and here is Manny with normal face

Looks good!

Sallim · 05-07-2008, 08:18 PM

haha I love this, looks promising!

Du Man · 05-07-2008, 09:20 PM

if lego had made a line for GF, that would have been sooooo awesome...

What are you going to do for Reaper Manny? Used lego darth vader's stuff?
