Now that the spoiler tags are working in full order again, it's safe for me to resume posting videos onto here, including this one! 
A while back, I made a few Paper Mario styled animations on a YouTube account that I have since abandoned. I don't consider it a big loss because those ones were fairly rubbish compared to what I can do now. Now that I have some fairly decent Maya skills under my belt, I created this recent attempt to replicate the style of the Paper Mario games. How did I do?
Anyway, the big plan is that I want to make this a fan series. Of course, instead of using graphical assets used in the actual games, I intend to create them all from scratch (by the way, big thanks goes to Retriever II for ripping the sprites and textures used for this test). That just leaves the matter of audio to attend to, however. I'm not very good at creating music (especially with the software I have installed), so unless you guys don't mind me reusing music from the games, I would like a little assistance with that and probably the sound effects. As for voice acting, I'm leaning towards that as opposed to the text boxes used in the actual games, so if you want to audition for voicing a few characters alongside my own voice talents, I'd appreciate that. Also, even though I've got the graphics and animation under control, I wouldn't mind if I'd get some help in those departments to speed up the process.
Feel free to give suggestions for those aspects and story ideas.
