Adventure Quest Stop Motion -Artix VS Sepulchure

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 


                                                   Some battle scenes of the video

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.

Kreo Transformers stop motion - Autobots VS Decepticons

This is a video for the promotion of Kreo Transformers from Hasbro , and for some reason ,
I have to finish this video before 2012 arrives, so this video I speed up the production and
in total plus the musics and sounds effects, this video only took me 10 days for production.
and average around 3300-3500 pictures.

And here is the video:


Now lets check the behind the scenes pictures:


                                                                      The toys

The scene is in the floor of my room 

As these toys are heavy and weak in the joints, you must use lots of tools to hold the body

The box comes with pieces, and they can assemble to a vehicle or a robot

Each box comes with 2-3 small toy figures

As the figures body are too heavy, this mean the joints will no going to be strong 
enough, so I have to use some tapes in the joints.

The scene where Megatron jumps was holding by hand 

And for the explosion scene, the same technic, just adding some green screens. 
The same with the starscream Jet mode

 And final here is a picture of Optimus Prime. 



Thanks also to Zoetrope international for the nice background music.
they do really nice movie like musics, if you are interested, you can also
