Hey thanks

Can't afford another transformer now and when I went, they just had the G1 Jazz which is so badass. And the grenade launcher sadly can't be knocked off. I tried every combo and it wouldn't come off : (

Awesome work! Now I really wish that Jazz had his G1 colors in the movie, just to make your video more accurate.

Well it would have been tough to find G1 colors out in the street like that or at a showroom : )

Wow, that's pretty cool. And unlike MB's movie, I can actually get a clear look at the characters.

Man that is pretty cool. I wish I had the skills to do something like that, I always wanted to make a comic like story using my collection.

stop motion isn't that hard to do if you can just visualize what you want and have the patience to go ahead with it. my suggestion is to try something small and see how it goes.

That's pretty good, and rewatching the clip it's based on, does anybody think it strange that the autobots try to beat the **** out of brawl, to no real effect, then along come the humans with their pea shooters and managed to imeadiatly force him back into a wall?

Humanz pwnz0rz j00 Redimus...you're right, that is kinda weird.

Hey, bABA, you might have answered this before, but maybe not...what software are you using to compile your still shots into video? Just something that does slideshows but without any transitions at a relatively high framerate?

Man I love that video - It has to be one of the best (if not THE best) stop motion videos on youtube ;)^

I really hated the humans in this movie. I really dislike how some people seem to think that humans could ever have anything on the Decepticons. It's simply preposterous.

While I'll admit stop motion is not something I'd like to do myself, though I do enjoy watching other peoples work. What I had in mind was more of something like a comic book.

I used to use moviemaker but that has a limit of 8 frames. people normally use monkeyjam but i've been using jpgvideo to compile the video. its free.

Though i always use windows movie maker to finalize the videos and I use audacity for extracting and editing sound.

Thanks for the hints. Your videos have made it look absurdly easy (though I know it's not) and I want to try my hand at it. :lol:

try small

Concentrate more on environment and creative ideas. don't worry so much about the technical aspect.

here is the first video i ever did. the animation is crap. its just 4 frames a second. but it was featured on break and i was offered money for it. its all about the idea that makes a film good. Just remember that its not for everyone as it contains somethings that may offend some people.
