THE VERY FIRST ALADDIN 3477
VIDEO PRODUCTION DIARY!
Announced
last September on Matt Busch's 40th birthday,
he will be writing and directing a live-action
sci-fi version of Aladdin! Now, Busch has released
the very first Aladdin 3477 Video Production
Diary Online, where he shares a unique
look at the film's visual inception and current
concept art. A new Production Diary will be released
about every other month, leading up until the
estimated 2015 release.
The
Aladdin 3477 movie is a culmination
of several projects that Busch has had in development
for over 20 years. He began the initial idea for
his magnum opus during the time he was studying
illustration and film at the Art Center College
of Design in Los Angeles. The below video shows
you a rare look at how the project has evolved
and where it stands now.

The
next step in amassing such an epic project will
be pre-production filming overseas for nearly
a month. Production begins in India this month
before moving on to numerous exotic locales throughout
Southern Asia. Busch elaborates, "This trip
will first serve as inspiration in refining the
script. Second, to scout locations for future
shooting. Last but not least, we'll be filming
background plates to work with for compositing
and animation." Aladdin 3477
will film in nearly a dozen countries, however
the majority of this particular journey will be
spent in India, Thailand, the Kingdom of Cambodia,
and China.

MATT BUSCH SURVIVES THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
A
new Sound Effects library has been released from
Ric Viers: The ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.
Ric is the world's foremost independent producer
of Sound Effects, and his work can be found on
many of the movies, TV shows, and video games
out there today.
For
his latest zombified release, he turned to
Matt Busch to create the box cover art,
which also became a promotional movie-sized poster!
Matt's wife, Lin Zy not only
took the reference photos, but also designed the
logo and packaging.
The
poster is one of the most epic zombie related-
or anything related pieces Matt has done to date!
Lots of hidden easter eggs and secret messages!
You can order copies of the poster at
Blastwave FX's official site here: http://www.soundeffectsbible.com/Zombie-Poster.html
Of
course, lots of adventures in creating such a
poster, and everything was documented. See what
Matt Busch and Lin Zy contributed to the project!

MATT BUSCH TO WRITE, DIRECT ALADDIN 3477!
On
his 40th birthday, Matt Busch
announced candidly on his YouTube channel he will
be writing and directing a feature-length live-action
movie titled Aladdin 3477.
Loosely adapted from the Arabian Nights
classic tale, Aladdin and His Wonderful
Lamp, this version is set 1,500
years into the future. The movie will be produced
by Kaleidoscope Koi Entertainment
and filming in locations around the world.
The
Aladdin 3477 movie
is actually a culmination of several projects
that Busch has had in development for over 20
years. He began the initial idea during the time
he was a college student, self-publishing his
own comic books. When Busch was studying illustration
and film at the Art Center College of
Design in Los Angeles, he would utilize
class projects to create concept art and character
designs for the story. Aspects of these visuals
later came to life in future creator-owned published
comic books and magazines, but ultimately Busch
held out to one day produce Aladdin
3477 as a feature-length movie.
This
futuristic version of Aladdin will be nothing
like Disney's 1992 animated feature. "There's
no singing and no dancing." comments Busch,
"This version stems more from the original
story, which is much darker in tone. The visuals
will look more like Star Wars, mixed with Eastern
culture, Hindu mythology and Asian design motifs."
Busch plans to shoot as much live-action elements
as possible, in lieu of the ever-increasing CGI
present in today's science fiction films. In the
next few months, location scouting will begin
in India, China, and Thailand.
As
Busch continues with the early stages of preproduction,
video diaries will be released Online every other
month to help build anticipation and give fans
a unique look behind-the-scenes. With the scale
of this production planned, principle photography
isn't expected to begin until 2014. While a distributor
for Aladdin 3477 is
yet to be decided, Busch is estimating a 2015
release.

BRAND NEW STAR WARS POSTER BY MATT BUSCH!
Artist
Matt Busch has produced a limited
edition poster that was given away for free at
the Star Wars Celebration VI show
in Orlando, Florida. Authorized by Lucasfilm,
the poster commemorates the 20th anniversary of
Dark Horse's comic book / graphic novel series,
Dark Empire.
"My
favorite storyline in the Star Wars
saga is Dark Empire."
Busch elaborates, "I love the idea that Luke
is tormented with needing to know why his father
turned to the Dark Side. That series really inspired
me as a young adult and lit the fire under my
bum to really go after my dreams. So this poster
is really a tribute, both as a fan and a professional."
Copies
of the poster were given away free each day to
the first 50 attendees at Busch's exhibitor booth.
The poster measures 24" x 36" (movie
poster size) and was printed courtesy of Busch.
"This is really my way of saying thank you
to all the fans and friends who have been supportive
of my career."

ALL-PUPPET HOW TO DRAW STAR WARS SERIES FINALE
VIDEOS!
In
this 4-part series finale, artist Matt
Busch breaks conventional art tutorial
videos one last time with a chapter that's produced
almost entirely with puppets! Directed by fellow
Star Wars artist (and Matt's wife)
Lin Zy, the Matt Puppet travels
to Dagobah to learn how to be a Jedi-like artist
from the ultimate puppet master,Yoda. Other puppet
cameos include Chewbacca, Princess Leia, and the
triumphant return of Bob Ross.
Of
course, the ride is never just fun and games.
These epic segments cover areas most art educators
never dare to go: How to break into the professional
world and work for industry giants like Lucasfilm.
Complete with exclusive interviews from veteran
Star Wars artists like Russell Walks, Randy Martinez
and Spencer Brinkerhoff, these videos are the
must-know insiders' guide to taking that first
step into a larger world.
In
Part 2 of the series finale, fellow Star Wars
artists join Matt in giving secrets to becoming
an artist and building a portfolio. The segment
also finds Matt Puppet training with Yoda amongst
other puppet cameos including Grover, Han Solo,
and Cookie Monster! Plus- see what happens to
Matt Puppet when he comes face to face with Darth
Vader!
Part
3 focuses on showing your work, networking at
conventions, marketing yourself, and building
a brand name. While Matt Puppet trains to be a
Jedi-like artist, Yoda convinces him that digital
art is just another useful tool like any other,
but that what really makes an artist shine is
the foundation of drawing and the fundamentals
of design.
In
the final segment of the series finale, Matt Busch
completes his journey as fellow Star Wars artists
give incredible words of wisdom for breaking into
the industry.
From
Matt: "This concludes the third and final
season of How to Draw Star Wars videos. It's been
an incredible six years, and I hope you've enjoyed
the ride as much as I have. And, just because
I say this is the last How to Draw Star Wars episode...
I should never say never, right? In the mean time,
keep at it, stay persistent, and by all means,
make sure you're having fun!"
Wednesday,
April 11th, 2012 THE
ALL-PUPPET HOW TO DRAW STAR WARS VIDEO SERIES
FINALE PREMIERS NEXT WEDNESDAY!!
Years
in the making, Matt Busch is about to unveil the
series finale of the How To Draw Star
Wars video tutorials. Going out
with a bang, this triple-sized installment titled
"Episode 22: Break into the Biz!"
promises to give aspiring artists insight on getting
work with industry giants like Lucasfilm. Always
entertaining with typical Busch mayhem, the pearls
of wisdom this time around will be done with all
puppets!
Busch
began filming episodes for the series in 2006
as a promotional vehicle for the book
You Can Draw Star Wars from DK Publishing.
Written by Lucasfilm's Bonnie Burton and co-illustrated
with Tom Hodges, the Bestseller eventually became
DK's top selling Star Wars book of all time. The
promotional video series debuted on StarWars.com
and DK.com, but also shattered
records on social networks like YouTube and MySpace
TV. The first 2 seasons of videos were also collected
onto limited edition DVDs.
The popularity of these videos can be attributed
not only to the vast educational material, but
Busch's fast-paced visual presentation, sprinkled
with comedic skits. Busch comments, "I love
watching artists' demos and video tutorials, but
they can often be boring. Drawing is supposed
to be fun, so I try to keep that magic in my videos."
Examples of Busch's past antics include: a parody
of VH-1's Behind the Music, dressing as Indiana
Jones, models fighting in Slave Leia costumes,
and teaching to draw anime in Japanese (with English
subtitiles). The most popular episode to date
features Busch donning an afro wig to impersonate
Bob Ross with "Happy little interrogation
droids."
In
the upcoming series finale, Busch plans to outdo
them all with an episode filmed almost entirely
with puppets! Hand-crafted by Busch's wife Lin
Zy (who is also a licensed Star Wars artist),
the scenes find Matt Puppet on Dagobah training
with Yoda to be a Jedi-like artist. Puppet cameos
include Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Sesame
Street characters, and even the triumphant return
of Bob Ross. However, the episodes are never just
fun and games. "Break into the Biz!"
also vows to give the inside scoop on how to build
a portfolio, network with big shots, and make
your dream career a reality. It also features
exclusive interviews with veteran Star Wars artists
like Russell Walks, Randy Martinez, and Spencer
Brinkerhoff.
The
final episode of How To Draw Star
Wars right here at MattBusch.com
and his YouTube channel on Wednesday, April 18th,
2012. "It's kind of emotional and bitter-sweet."
comments Busch. "I can't begin to describe
the amount of work put into these videos over
the last six years. I set out with a master plan
to do three full seasons and completed exactly
that. The entire series captures a pretty thorough
education for aspiring artists, so I feel my work
is done." Closing this chapter in Busch's
career is also paving the way for his next big
thing, which he's currently tight lipped on. One
thing's for sure, the Force will be with him.
Always.

Wednesday,
October 19th, 2011 MATT
BUSCH GETS MARRIED!
On
September 18th, Artist/Writer/Filmmaker Matt Busch
wed Artist/Designer/Puppeteer Lin Zy in Royal
Palm Beach, Florida.
Years
prior, Lin Zy had been a student of Matt's, but
the two also shared common friends and attended
the same high school. Before dating, Matt and
Lin Zy had collaborated on a number of projects,
including the Matt Busch Playing Cards
and a number of Hollywood
is Dead posters. Lin Zy, an artist
in her own right, has provided art for several
STAR WARS Galaxy Trading Card sets,
and illustrated book covers for the Jake
Bashe mystery novels.
Matt
and Lin Zy wed in a private park in front of a
small number of family and friends, including
MattBusch.com designer/photographer Paul Michael
Kane, who captured the extraordinary images. Matt's
father, Frederick Busch was his best man. Lyn
Zy's father, Clayton Selestow, is the minister
who performed the ceremony.
After
their vows, Matt and Lin Zy wrangled up their
families and friends and hopped onto the largest
cruise ship in the world, Royal Caribbeans' Allure
of the Seas, for a week-long honeymoon through
the Caribbean, with stops in the Bahamas, St.
Thomas, and St. Martin. Look for videos soon which
will share the adventures through the vivid eye
of Paul Michael Kane.
As
for the future, on a personal level, the couple
will live happily ever after. (A larger reception
for the couple will be held in Michigan this November.)
On a professional level, expect to see some pretty
wild creative collaborations. Up first, Lin Zy
has designed all the puppets for the final "all-puppet"
episode of You Can Draw STAR WARS,
which drops this winter.

VIDEO: THE INDIANA JONES WORLD MAP!
Years
in the making, Matt Busch is proud to unveil the
illustrated Indiana Jones World Map! Perfect timing,
being the 30th Anniverary of Indiana Jones this
year. Authorized through Lucasfilm, the map shows
all of the locations that Indiana Jones has made
archeological discoveries- not just the movies-
but the novels, the comic books, the Young Indy
TV shows, the video games, and more.
There
are 36 different archeological artifacts displayed,
each illustrated where Indy discovered it, and
numbered chronologically. 3 Legend sections list
info on the artifacts, including name, city and
country, year, title of the story the artifact
was discovered in, followed by symbols. The Key
chart lets you decipher those symbols for each
artifact to see how the story was presented, be
it film, novel, TV Episode, etc... In many cases,
these stories have been delivered in multiple
platforms. In other words, "Indiana Jones
and the Fate of Atlantis" was at first designed
as a video game, but later developed as a comic
book, too...
The
amount of research and detail Busch has put into
this is incredible. In each of the four corners,
he illustrated an exotic stone relief carving,
each representing a cultural motif from one of
the four Indiana Jones feature films.
The
print measures a whopping 24" X 36"
(fit for a world map!) and easy to frame in any
standard movie poster size frame. All prints are
signed and numbered (limited edition of 255) by
Matt Busch. You can order one now right HERE!

has collaborated with Digital Wave Creative to
develop a new App for the iPad: INTERACTIVE

does it do? Well first and foremost- it's a sketchbook.
You can draw anything you want in it. However-

what else paper sketchbooks don't have? A variety
of drawing tools. Zoom. An undo and redo button.
Layers! And- you can import your own photos to
draw from- side by side, or even to trace! You
can draw with a stylus, or even your finger with
amazing results!
What's
more, the Interactive Sketchbook comes with 4
portrait tutorials from Matt himself! 11 steps
and over 3 dozen tips, tricks, and techniques
for each one! Because the whole thing is interactive,
it's as detailed as you want Matt to be. Of all
the How-To Draw books and magazine articles Matt

3rd, 2010 HOLLYWOOD
IS DEAD
Things
have been relatively quiet around Planetmatt lately,
but of course this means that Matt Busch is hard
at work on something big. And you heard it here
first!HOLLYWOOD
IS DEAD! This collection of re-imagined
parody movie posters is faithfully recreated by
Busch’s ability to adapt any painting style
thrown his way. Busch has painstakingly hand-painted
every detail with traditional mixed media, before
slaughtering them with a zombified treatment.
In
2009, Busch was tapped by Lucasfilm to recreate
all six STAR WARS movie posters
as if the living dead were interwoven within the
saga’s plot. The fan reaction was immense,
and even before Lucasfilm strangely opted to remove
the images, buzz had already spread across countless
fandom sites covering the clever parodies. Since
then, Busch has had an overwhelming demand to
create zombie parodies of all the classic movie
posters.
A
labor of love, the artist has been immensely on
re-imaging a slew of iconic images. Comments Busch,
“HOLLYWOOD
IS DEAD has been one of the most fulfilling
projects I’ve ever worked on. I grew up on
great movies, but the movie posters themselves
are almost more vivid in my memory as iconic images.
So the opportunity to really study the original
master artists like Drew Struzan, John Alvin,
Bob Peak, Richard Amsel and others has been awesome.”
And
what of the zombie menace? “It’s an
ironic twist,” says Busch, “to take
these beautiful master-works and attempt to recreate
every detail, while at the same time, shredding
them to bloody pulps. Literally. Nothing here
is sacred, but it’s all in good fun and out
of the utmost respect to the original posters
that had such an impact on my life.”
Here,
these vivid and infectious images are yours to
enjoy and ingest. If you find yourself hungry
for more, then be rest assured that more are on
the way! Says Busch, “I wanted to have a
nice chunk of posters to get HOLLYWOOD
IS DEAD started, but dozens more are
on the way.” And where will this all lead?
Busch hints, “Aside from individual posters
and prints, the idea is to have them collected
into a sweet coffee-table art book. There are
also plans to have a traveling gallery show of
the original art. After that, I do have something
huge in mind that will spin all of this on its
ass. But way too early to talk about it now.”
In
this bleak vision, Hollywood may be dead, but
these box office cadavers are sure to bring you
coming back for more.

wed Artist/Designer/Puppeteer Lin Zy in Royal
Palm Beach, Florida.
Artist
Matt Busch has made a huge splash
in the year and a half with "Hollywood
is Dead," a series of parody
movie posters in which he recreates them with
a zombie twist. Beginning with zombifying the
6 Star Wars movies (Zombie
Wars) for StarWars.com, Busch
has gone on to destroy nearly 50 cinema classics,
including Breakfast at Tiffany's (Breakfast
is Tiffany), Indiana Jones (Indiana
Bones), and Toy Story (Toy
Gory).
Matt
has been quietly working on this huge project
for a year now, and finally- it's unleashed! He
has collaborated with Digital Wave Creative to
develop a new App for the iPad: INTERACTIVE
SKETCHBOOK! The reason this took so long
to get out is because Matt and DWC really wanted
to make the best digital sketchbook on the market-
one that Matt would be proud to put his name on.
Ladies and gentleman- THIS IS IT!
