Let’s Re-Animate an entire episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Inspired by Kaitlin Sullivan’s wonderful MoonAnimate Make-up, YGO Reanimate is a collaborative all for fun, non-profit project where every participating animators will reanimate a shot of an episode of the original YGO show (known as “Season 0″ by fans) in however they desire! We’ll be recreating episode 2: Devil Gamer - Trap From Hell. It will include the opening and ending credits. We’ll be using the original Japanese language track along with dialogues translated into English and Romaji (romanized Japanese) to assist the animators with the lip sync.  This project is open for to animators of any skill (student, hobbyists, professionals). Each animator can work with any medium they want: paper, digital, stop-motion, CG, pixel, etc, as long as it lines up with the shot given! Shots are assigned first come, first served and shots will begin to be distributed on September 30th 2016. There are over 300 shots in this episode, so there’s plenty of shots to go around. If you know any friends or colleagues who might be interested in this, spread the words! Thank you and HAVE FUN!!

This project has no affiliation with Toei, TV Asashi, Kazuki Takahashi or any entity officially connected to the YGO franchise in any fashion. This is purely a free, fan based project for animators. Not to mention, 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh! It seemed like the perfect time to start this fun project and I really love to show everyone the true root of this wonderful series, also because I’m a massive dork.
