Ghostbusters Inspiration

The villain that the gang is going to capture, is a ghost made of jizz. Just like the slime ghost that is in the sedgewick hotel in Ghostbusters.

Sound Effects

The original sound effects of scooby doo are great because they are exaggerated and some what random in use.

The gang's van

Using the image from the box of Candy Land, the mystery machine is going to be merged with a similar style of Krieger's vans from Archer

Color Palette

As far the colors of the scooby doo cartoons, the original is by far my favorite since the dull retro theme. It is also the one i want to stay the closest too as far as the characters are concerned. For the back grounds however i want them to be as brightly colored and vibrant as candy land.

coloring book pages

Many different coloring book pages for scooby doo and the gang can be found on google images. Since i am considering using multiple types of animation. Rotoscoping some of the coloring book pages would be useful to speed up how quickly i could hand draw characters. Also this would allow me to alter some of the physical characteristics of each character so that they better match the new persona that i am attaching to each member. I will at least be doing all close ups with dialogue with hand drawn faces that have interchangeable mouths. Stop motion, may be limited to Frank (Fred), and times that he is carrying the momentum of the gangs.

Figures for stop motion

I have decided i want to use action figures that are between 3 and 4 inches. I am also considering repainting the figures to make the characters look like they are hopped up on drugs. As well as just changing the color of their wardrobes. Mouths will be added in post for dialogue. I will be using these pre-made mouths.
