Hello everyone, just finished another commercial stop motion video, I worked this video with Bandai America for the promotion purpose of "Digimon All Star Rumble" video game, this video took around 20 days of production and nearly 2500 pictures, check out the video as below:


There are 4 toys in this video, two for the first mode and two for the second mode, I find someone to make the battle field for this video.

For some flying object in the air, I use tools or my own hand to hold them in the air and then erase them through photoshop or another way is green screen.


Comparison scenes with effects and without effects and color grading.



Some screenshots of the video.




Well, the above are all for this video, hope you guys enjoy the video and see you next time on next video.

2014 Plans for DBZ

Something in my mind for a long time, its about time for some DBZ videos again, will try to finish the last one first, and sorry for the delay, too much work recently. 

長久以來就在我心中的想法, 該是拍更多七龍珠的時候了, 上一部會先拍好趕在下半年的宣傳, 讓大家久等了, 這陣子太忙了.

Figma Saber and Revoltech Al VS Guildwar2 monster stop motion

Hello guys, this is my new video, was demanded from a commercial company in China, they want me to make a stop motion video with a online game character and the game is Guildwar2, the good guys I choose from Fate Saber, Al and Gundam, please check the video as below :


This is just a short video, around 1 minute and half, the filming time is around 20 days, 
the main time consuming task is the modification of toys, the bad guys is too big and heavy, really need to do a lot of work to make it suitable to film in stop motion. 

Mark out the modification parts

Also the weapon

Drill holes to make it less weight

Build joints in it to make hand movable. 


The sword

Some battle scenes was held with my hand and erase it. 

the special skill of Al is just aluminium paper


Original picture without effect and color correction

After effects and color grading. 

The cover :D

Well, this is all for this video, software that I used : 
Adobe after effects
Adobe Premiere
Paintshophoto
Corel video studio

Hope the above could help you, and wish you all the best, thanks for watching and see you next time on next stop motion :D.

Gundam stop motion fight

This is my first video working with Chinese Company, they produce similar toys with Bandai,
the shape looks cool but the articulation still need to improve, please check the video as below:


The battle field, in living room.

Characters




Now some of the behind the scenes skills, the floating cannon.

I mask them out from the picture.


Or using green screen skill.

And finally the cover picture.

The technics of this video is actually pretty easy, and effects are all the basic standard effects 
that After effects have, but also the most time consuming is the adjustment of these lazers,
one or two lazers are fast, but 6-10 lazers takes a lot and a lot of time.

Well, this is all for this video, thank you for watching and see you next time on next video. 
regards
