This new video was made for my Philippine Partner "Green Mango" for their company promotion purpose, we use 12 inch dolls from Hot toys and Enterbay.

The face was totally hand made sculpture figure, and this video took me around 2 month of production and nearly 2500 pictures.

Please check the video as below:

Facial expressions, simple head replacement
The place I film this video, under my computer desk
Some of the scree shots was hold with my hand and deleted 
with photoshop.

Well, the above are most of the secrets for this video, actually they are not difficult to make,

Saber and Gundam stop motion fight

Hello guys, its been quite a long time since my last video related to Gundams, so I decided to make
another one with them, this time, will be adding a new guest, Saber from Fate, its one of the most
coolest articulated toys from Figma, so lets check first this video:


This video in total is around 3000-3500 pictures, and took me exactly 30 days to finish this,
including musics,etc.

Below are some of the behind the scenes pictures:

                             First of all, the battle field is in front of my computers, saves time to take pictures and
                            then edit them in the computer.

                                 
                                   Our main character, Saber, it has three different facial expressions to change.

Also many different hand poses, I can do many actions with these items.

Many of the lightning or shadows I do it with tools I can find closely, 
I prefer this time not to use too much in special effects.

                                       
                             Most of the flying objects was held by my hands and erase them with software.

The O, the lightning I prefer to add some light layers instead of 
starwars style light saber. 


                           Below are some screen cuts that I liked the most.









Well, this is all for this video, the makings are actually simple, but everything took a lot of time,
its just matter of practice.

Hope you guys enjoy the video, and see you next time in next stop motion video.

Regards

This is a short video in association with Artix Entertainment, for the promotion of
action figures of the game Adventure quest, the video is in total 2:21 minutes long,
the background music was made by One Eyed Doll music band.

So lets check the video:


Please check the below pictures for the fighting state of this video:

                                                  The arena is on top of wooden bed
                                     decorated with artificial plants and fake rocks



The original toys without modification, can only move the head left and right, 
the arm and legs are also limited of movement. 


Below on Artix, we made two extra facial expressions, and the 
add a lot of articulated joints to their hands and legs. 




The seal mark that appears in the credits are just green screening the hand

Ghost rider stop motion in Machinima

Hello everyone, just finished a new video, its about Ghost rider fighting with Albert Wesker from Resident evil,
this is a video I made for Machinima, using 12 inch dolls from Hot Toys, they are really really cool and detail
action figure, amazing quality...well...lets take a look at the new video:


And now let get into some behind the scenes pictures.

These are the tools I used this time for the video 

The main character, Nick Cages figure

The bad ass Wesker, the eye can glow with batteries

Some fighting scene was holded by hand and then delete it 

The bike itself can shine, so no need for too much effect modification

The sun glass scene was really a sun glass in green screen

The ghost rider form in fire, the head also can glow using batteries

And below are some screen shots.






This video took me 25 days with around 3800 pictures. 

Well this is all for this video, actually nothing special in skills, but mostly 
the changing of camera moves is what differs from other videos. 

And thanks for watching, see you guys next time on next video.
