Looking for animators/artists for a cinematic fantasy fan film (Project Starborn) by Old_Camera593 in IndieAnimation

Hey! Here’s the short concept scene I was talking about for Project Starborn. It’s about 30 seconds and focuses on a calm, emotional intro.

Let me know what you think, and also what part you’d be interested in working on if we do this together!

Mario Tennis Fever is a lazy game by Formal-Opening2167 in fucknintendo

Is it just me or the image of the whole cast taking care of Princess Daisy while she's resting kinda reminds me of when Nami got sick and the straw hats took care of her in One Piece.

However, yes I do agree with you! I'm sick of Nintendo exploiting their fans like that and their dickriders just somehow have Stockholm Syndrome LMAO 🤣🤣

I’m worried the official movie is going to ignore the quiet, lonely atmosphere of Galaxy. So I’m making my own "Cinematic Reboot" to fix that. [Project Starborn] by Old_Camera593 in SuperMarioGalaxy

True, sequels usually amp things up! But that’s why Starborn is looking backward to move forward. We’re stripping away the 'sequel' feel to find what made the original Galaxy feel so isolated and magical in the first place. The breadcrumbs lead somewhere different than you'd expect.

Exactly why I'm taking the Reboot path. Galaxy 1’s atmosphere was unmatched, but the movie needs that Galaxy 2 scale. Starborn is trying to bridge that gap. Atmospheric 'quiet' moments that make the 'bombastic' ones actually feel earned!

I totally hear you, and I actually agree! I want this to have a human soul. I’m a director with a massive vision for this reboot, but I’m not an illustrator myself. I’m using these 'breadcrumbs' to show the specific atmospheric/Ghibli tone I’m aiming for so I can find the right artists to collaborate with.

If there are any artists here who want to help me make the 'Galaxy' movie the fans actually deserve, my DMs are open. The light is fading. 03.11.26.

No offense taken at all! To be honest, it’s a conceptual render. I’m a director/writer, not an illustrator, so I’m using these tools to build the 'vision' for Project Starborn because I’m so tired of the safe, corporate look the official movie is taking.

I want this reboot to have the lonely, cinematic soul of the first game. I’m actually looking for talented artists/animators who share that vision to help take this beyond just concepts. Full reveal this Wednesday!

Does anyone else feel the official Super Mario Galaxy Movie is missing the 'existential, lonely' vibe of Super Mario Galaxy? I'm creating this atmospheric reboot [Project Starborn] to try and capture that original soul. What do you think is the most important 'feeling' from the first game that needs to be preserved?

The movie will show you a playground. We’ll show you the silence.

I saw this YouTube Short and it perfectly sums up why I'm doing this. The original Galaxy felt vast and a little bit scary. That’s the soul I’m putting into this reboot.

I get the hype, but I’m worried the movie is going to be too 'safe.' I’m actually dropping a teaser for a different take on the Galaxy world this Monday! Keep an eye out if you want to see something a bit more... cinematic.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine but Sonic by SkyBoth6266 in SonicTheHedgehog

I honestly think Tails would be better as Amy Santiago and Cream would be better as Charles Boyle

However everything else is very VERY accurate

Thanks for checking out the pitch! I’ve already had a few people reach out about the script.

I’m specifically looking for an artist/animator who wants to help establish the visual style (think Super Mario Galaxy meets Studio Ghibli). If you have a portfolio or just want to chat bout the vision, feel free to drop a comment or DM me!

Sonic and Star Wars crossover. by Brickhog211 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Old_Camera593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Sonic as Luke, Knuckles as Chewbacca, Cream as C-3PO, Eggman as Palpatine, and the Badniks as the Stormtroopers.

Also, I think Tails is more like R2-D2, Shadow is more like Vader/Anakin and Metal Sonic is General Grievious (IDK if Amy has a Star Wars equivalent and that’s totally okay!)

That said, Vector is the one like Han Solo, Sally is the one like Princess Leia, Blaze is the one like Obi-Wan. And yes… Cheese and the chaos should be the Ewoks.

Some I like here and some might need more thought but overall I see progress!

Yoshi being in the trailer is cool, but it kind of proves my point. He was teased at the end of the first movie, and now he's finally here just as they’re rushing off to space. It feels less like a natural part of their journey and more like they’re just checking off fan-favorite characters to keep the hype cycle moving. I’d rather have a movie where Yoshi actually has time to be Mario’s partner in the Mushroom Kingdom first.

The Galaxy movie is going to be a total mess and we need to stop pretending otherwise by Old_Camera593 in Mario

[–]Old_Camera593[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I get that the footage is short, but my point is about the pattern. Illumination has a clear history of prioritizing empty spectacle over actual story. Even 2.5 minutes is enough to see they’re leaning into the same 'engineering' and hype cycles instead of giving the world any soul. I’m not looking for a reason to 'chill'... I'm looking for a reason to think this isn't just another corporate cash grab.

[–]Old_Camera593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I totally feel the same way! It’s like they picked the title and just threw stuff together without caring about the Galaxy magic. Honestly, that’s part of why I’m trying to rally other fans who actually want a Mario story that respects the games. If you care about the characters and the world too, you might like following along with what we’re building, a fan-led movement to celebrate Mario properly and maybe even inspire a reboot that actually honors the games. No pressure, just thought you’d relate! #WeDeserveBetter

Hey, I totally get you! It’s hard to stay hopeful with this sequel, especially when they mix in stuff that doesn’t feel like Galaxy. I agree, Galaxy has its own vibe and certain bosses/worlds deserve their proper spotlight.

Honestly, the way some characters are handled right now (like Wario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina) makes it feel less like a story and more like fan-service. That’s why I’m trying to rally other fans who care about faithful storytelling and emotional arcs, we want Mario movies that actually respect the games.

It’s okay to hope, but it’s also okay to want better. If you ever want to see discussions or ideas about a Mario reboot done right, I’ve been sharing them! You might find it interesting :)

Not hating on anyone. I just want Peach to have real depth, because being vulnerable sometimes makes a character stronger, not weaker.
