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

Sven_Q45 · 02-26-2008, 04:31 PM

Interesting.

But the charakters in GF are still square.

Lol, look at this:

ok I drew Manny's head but I have trouble with Eva's head any help will be appreciated

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

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

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.

Colossal · 05-07-2008, 01:15 PM

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

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?

Colossal · 05-08-2008, 06:11 AM

Actully there can be lego GF, on lego.com there are fan creations that can be bought by anyone, but the lego company needs to aprove the design in order to put it in production
