Paper Mario animations

[E-Man]

I like the way you think! The thing is that I want to achieve something similar to what Alvin Earthworm did with Super Mario Bros. Z (only with 95% less Dragon Ball Z influences). Basically, it'll be this ambitious fan series featuring these already existing characters that Mario fans and myself could enjoy. I don't plan on making any direct income and since some ambitious fan series have yet to be removed (BitF is a good example), I don't see where any obvious problems would lie at the moment. Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility of also making an original series with the style. Besides possibly creating a fresh idea, I'm always up for reviving my old Artster concept since that animation also emulated the Paper Mario style a while back.

Anyway, if you want tips on how to animate like in Paper Mario, I'm your guy! Just keep in mind that I use Maya, so I might not be the best help if you use a completely different application.
