This video is going to be Lost Media Category # 127: Hollywood Blvd., USA (Lost Stephen Hillenburg Animated Short Film; 2013) Hollywood Blvd., USA is a 2013 animated short film by Stephen Hillenburg, who is most well known as the creator of the Nickelodeon show SpongeBob SquarePants, it would end up being his final independent project before his passing in 2018. Plot The short (which was in production for a few years) is experimental in the sense that it doesnt have a cohesive story, with it being made using footage that Stephen recorded of people walking in Hollywood Boulevard from 2007-2010, and animating them in walk cycles, with some additional shots being hand painted. In an episode of the Big Pop Fun podcast, Stephen mentions that the short is also set to music, although it’s unknown which track is played. Availability The short ended up playing at film festivals such as the Holland Animation Film Festival and was additionally shown in 2014 at a talk Stephen gave at the John C. Hench Division of Animation & Digital Arts. Outside of these screenings, the short hasn't been made publically available anywhere since, with the only material having resurfaced from it being some stills and that is Lost Media Category # 127: Hollywood Blvd., USA (Lost Stephen Hillenburg Animated Short Film; 2013) and if you guys like this video please don’t forget to please like subscribe and comment and I’ll see you guys next time peace.
