So we all know the Invader Zim pilot right? It's pretty similar to the final show with a few minor differences (ex: Zim's voice actor being Billy West rather than Richard Steven Horvitz, Dib's shirt being orange instead of blue, Gaz's eye color being blue instead of brown, etc) but, somewhere in the world there's a 3D test pilot done in CGI. Yes. Invader Zim with 3D animation. I'm guessing it was made sometime after the original pilot but before the TV series (most likely 1999 or 2000) People say clips of it were pretty accessible in around 2007-2008 all around the internet but using The WayBack Machine leads to nothing. A few screenshots do exist, however no actual footage is found.
Since I just made this thread yesterday I don't have much ideas yet but currently I'm trying to put together a list of people who would know something about it that would be easy to reach and could push us in the right direction.
That might lead somewhere but as far as I know he doesn't really reply. Something I should've done a few weeks ago was ask him about it on Twitch because he did message me after I won a giveaway but the prize already came so I don't think he'll check anymore

I haven't checked my email to this account in ages, didn't expect to have my post dug up and referenced after a few years.
Also source on that? I don't recall when the video I remember was uploaded (Can you believe 2011 was 10 years ago? sheesh) but as far as I know it was only on Youtube and none of the fansites or wikis of IZ ever had this.
On a related note: I used to have a recording of the pilot when it aired on Nicktoons on Christmas Eve 2011. Is that lost media? I'd be really sad if it was considering I don't even have my DVR from back then too....

No, the original pilot which aired on Christmas Eve 2011 is on Nick.com and YouTube
Ok so to make this easier I think we're gonna have to split up the search.
Group A: Figure out who took the original screenshots and where the video was available. Group B: Try contacting people who worked on Nickelodeon around 1999 and 2001. Group C: Try contacting people from Invader Zim. Group D: Try to figure out who did the 3D animation.
Anyone, anyone, questions? (If you know, you know lol)
