Zaphod and Trillian

After a copyright strike and having episode 1 and episode 2 part 2 taken down by the BBC it looks as if the dream of having a complete animated adaptation is dead...However, there should be nothing wrong with going back to what I used to do and use shorter clips. on the upside this should mean more content more frequently.
more new clips are on the way very soon and some of the old ones too

[@elsabisa5919]

I love how Zaphod is making use of all 3 arms to express his exasperation…

[@ScarletCut1337]

I would love if this were to be turned into a full length TV show. I love the style, the voices and how true it is to the books.

[@gregorymatthews1881]

I thought they just put animation to the radio series, which I believe predates the books.

[@benvolio15]

This is much more along the lines of how I've imagined Trillian's appearance. A major improvement over Sandra Dickinson's blonde bubblehead TV version.

[@david2869]

That is one place that the movie is an improvement over the TV series.

[@pranavarvind4281]

@@david2869 Yeah. I never could stand the TV Trillian's voice.

[@elsabisa5919]

Yes, thanks so much for not giving her a frizzy blonde side ponytail and red unitard.

[@stevebishop9468]

I rather liked Sandra Dickenson

short clips are fine, this is why god gave us youtube playlists

I love how you animated Marvin.

I love how you bring this story to the screen.

Finally found trillian’s design. Nailed it :)

[@spyrofan9681]

The way you show Zaphod's two heads to begin with works really well

[@manofocean]

Well, its a shame about the strike, however, there may be other platforms out there, and of course the more frequent content, because boy I love the animations!

[@time4chai995]

These are wonderful. Thank you so much!

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

I like how Trillian looks like she does in the movie, while everyone else looks like they did in the series.

[@DJ_Sonic09]

it's a shame about the copyright strike ):

[@Spoomis]

I love the book and movie, and your animations.

[@brycerichardson1916]

Awesome video. You would get a lot more views of you could get it out to hitchhiker fans. Your take on the media is great. Look forward to more vids.

[@ginnentonix]

Love love love this. You are amazing. [*bows*]

I was just thinking about this channel!

[@theoneandonlyNick2]

CuteFuzzyWeasel good to hear all that subliminal advertising is paying off

[@AdventureMaster18]

Man it sucks how the parts were blocked. I think you could still do the full audio series, just upload them in more and much shorter parts.

[@exexpat11]

You know the audio is the original BBC Radio Broadcasts... right?

[@AdventureMaster18]

@@exexpat11 Well, Yeah, I mean he could animated each episode, but upload them in shorter parts.

Brilliant indeed Been wondering where the next part was - such an excellent version Excellent animation and sure it takes an age, but man it's damn good

[@Onychoprion27]

Oof, sorry to hear about the strikes. Glad you're still doing the animations, though!

[@lucyronson2036]

Someone please throw Nick a ton of money so he can animate the whole series.... please... pretty please?

[@lenamason3862]

Just make a compilation when you're done and then make play list in chronological order.

[@Spoomis]

I agree. These are great.

[@XiaoAndyPugMan]

Really sorry to hear about the copyright nonsense... I'm glad you're still going through with uploading shorter clips though, seeing an animation from you always brightens my day :) Couple questions about this clip: is this the first time you've drawn Zaphod with three arms? I don't remember seeing him that way before, but I quite like it so far. Also, I remember you saying that you'd been having trouble coming up with a design for Trillian, so what are your thoughts about the version in this video?

[@theoneandonlyNick2]

Xiao Andy zaphod always had three arms before but I was lazy and always had his third arm in his pocket. It usually takes twice as long to do any shot with zaphod because of the extra arm and hear. I'm fairly happy with how Trillian turned out. The blue makes her stand out next to zaphod, I tried to make the costume looks as timeless as I could.

[@XiaoAndyPugMan]

Thanks for the answers :D

[@theoneandonlyNick2]

Xiao Andy no worries. Thanks for the questions

[@bbgun061]

I especially like the slow reveal of Zaphod's two heads. Watching this after your other clips of him, I was thinking, "wait, only one head is talking?" But for someone not familiar with the story, (and watching in order) they wouldn't expect that. I love your version of Trillian.

[@XiaoAndyPugMan]

Benjamin Brooks Yeah I liked that part a lot too

[@rosskerr1439]

Everyone looks like a South Park character. I love it.

[@timemeddler7730]

I love your animations !

[@bradpotts1747]

wait some episodes where taken down? NOOOOOO as always nick, you are the best.

[@robwaddell7934]

Very Very well done, sir

[@vibingwiththewind2889]

It really does suck how it was blocked... the BBC shouldn't have the right to take down your idea given that while yes, Hitchhiker's is their property, your animation has put enough work and effort into animating the whole thing that they shouldn't have the right to take it down (the BBC are just jerks like that - as someone who has worked with them, this course of action does not surprise me one bit). Could you reupload all the parts of it, just in small like one and a half minute chunks? You could still build up the animated adaptation of the whole thing clip by clip! It may take longer, but still - it is possible.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

The BBC should give Nick a job.

[@RinIsArty]

They took them down? Rude bastards. Stick 'em on Dailymotion or something.

[@careless3241]

This version of Marvin reminds me of the borderlands psycho mask

[@jamesmcgee7723]

Trillian is brilliant!

[@madvulcan8964]

So was their a reason in the book explaining why they didn't change Marvin's personality and kept him as a manically depressed robot? Side note: Why didn't they or Marvin himself fix those diodes on his left side?
