1:25 Nice Pool!

[@GoldPuffin]

😄😄😄😄

[@buffalobrickfilms9164]

Haha nice! The "bad special effects" one was very accurate to some of my first films ;)

[@GoldPuffin]

Respect is due because those special effects took me a LOT of effort!

[@GoldPuffin]

I thought they would be so quick and easy to do!

[@jeanmoore765]

I don’t use special effects, my stop motions are all LEGO-the entire thing.

[@sd4055]

In my other channel where I do "limited stop motion" (lol) I am guilty of long hold frames. But in defense of these long hold frames, the dolls I animate have elastic joints and it's really difficult to move them and keep the position. Still working on improving and enjoying the hobby non-the-less. Love your work

[@GoldPuffin]

Thank you so much for the nice comment. I have to admit that I'm guilty of long hold frames too from time to time!

[@quantum.codex42]

4:37 that was the best scream I've ever heard

[@GoldPuffin]

Lol 😱

[@andresplayz]

That’s a dog scream lmao

[@jacobstudios9567]

It’s so dark and gloomy outside. Sun: shines as bright as it can It’s so dark and gloomy in here too! Lights: shines brighter than physically possible P.S.- this was hilarious :)

[@GoldPuffin]

Lol! :-D

[@m8emovies141]

LOL :-D

[@Rirky]

1:27 Apple factory? Isn’t that just an orchard?

[@GoldPuffin]

Yeah, I mean, he said he was doing canned apples... but who eats apples out of a can anyway?! 😄

[@braydenhuneau]

I think that guy is Steve jobs

[@adriansstopmotionproductio7203]

Imagination is the key

[@joejoeanimations5936]

I love these videos because it brings back memories from when I was a new to stop motion

[@GoldPuffin]

Nice, that's what I was hoping for :-) I really enjoy making these videos too but I don't know exactly why, it's just so much fun!

[@nathanstoysandmore]

4:44 it’s so dark and gloomy today. NO ITS SO BRIGHT AND SUNBURNING TODAY

[@maxpotential1682]

Man, that was just the best! So funny, clever, and true!

[@GoldPuffin]

Thank you 😁

[@corkscrewbricks7981]

I have just started Brickfilming and have already made a couple few second long shorts. I have made some of these mistakes and I hope to get better.

[@GoldPuffin]

I think you'll find it gets a lot easier as you go on and you'll imporve pretty quickly :-) Thanks for watching and commenting :-)

[@Mikkel_J0rgensen]

"and it had legs" OMG couldnt be worse

[@GoldPuffin]

Lol 😅

[@skigidi-skigmer]

number 6 is literally everybody when they first started out

[@GoldPuffin]

Yeah definitely me for sure

[@LightsCameraandLego]

These videos are the best stop motion tutorials ever!!

[@GoldPuffin]

Oh, nice! If it works as a tutorial as well as being funny then that's a bonus :-)

[@CC--CommanderTacks]

I love your "Top" Videos. ❤️ Keep up the great work 💪 I loved it! 👍

[@GoldPuffin]

Thanks! 😃

[@Dylanarment]

Haha, yes... Very familiar... This get's me a little bit emotional. I started making stop motion animation a long time ago... And the reason I started was because of you. I watched these videos and started learning from them. Thank you Gold Puffin. You filled 2 years of my life with joy. :-)

[@GoldPuffin]

Wow thanks, it's amazing to think that some people started stop motion animation because of me! 😁 Thanks so much for leaving this comment! I hope the next two years of your life are full of joy too.

[@BrickKnackStudios]

Piggy boi rips down the door “It’s the FBI!” LOL

[@GoldPuffin]

That pig is my new favourite minifigure 🐖

[@BrickKnackStudios]

Hey, Gold Puffin! I do stop motion too (I’m actually working on a short now) but check out my channel and please give me some advice!

[@darthrevanthedestroyer9003]

I did an attempt at stop motion on my channel in my most recent video

[@DenDanskeKat.12]

I wanted to inform you that at #10 (5:11) it is not special effects its visuel effects🙂

[@GoldPuffin]

Oh yeah, I think you're right come to think of it... thanks!

[@olizcoli]

5:13 Beautiful rain

[@GoldPuffin]

Thanks! I had forgotten I made that, it actually must have taken me ages to do probably!

[@koolkyas]

Only 2 or 3 of these were nostalgic to me and I received a lot of chuckles from the video. Btw, 5:08 wait..didn’t you know that grown men in pig costumes actually run the F.B.I?

[@GoldPuffin]

Lol! I actually know nothing about the FBI except what Hollywood tells me!

[@equilibrium3959]

Really got into stop motion recently, and I’m following a strict ‘one video per day’ policy to keep me at it. Buuuuut…. My best videos don’t even compare to these satirical ‘worst’ ones yet, lol. Gonna keep at it. Thanks for the tips :D

[@blooketfan1886]

2:38 batman appearing out of nowhere made me laugh for some reason

[@GoldPuffin]

I totally forgot about that! This video was so fun to make!

[@DraketheHighlander]

it's hard for me to make my stopmotion videos sometimes but i got some ideas from you gold puffin and i thank you for that

[@GoldPuffin]

Glad I could help!

[@johnsanimations1952]

After years of practice, these really do seem like nooby things, but at the time, some of them seemed to look soooo cool!!!

[@GoldPuffin]

The joy of starting out in stop motion, is there anything better? 😁

[@soldjor9420]

Awesome I was already so excited for it

[@GoldPuffin]

Nice!

[@mccstudios]

Another awesome video! I love this kind of videos, please continue to make them. Nice job :)

[@GoldPuffin]

Thanks!! Thanks for the feedback too, I do have a plan to do another one like this in a couple of months, well probably in 3 months to be honest

[@DabbeliuJR]

Really well and funny made video 👍😂

[@GoldPuffin]

Thank you so much 😁

[@BrickfilmsWithCade]

This is best stop motion noobs video! Lol 😂 can you make a part 4?

[@GoldPuffin]

Thanks for the suggestion - I have always had the idea to do another stop motion noobs video :-) It's taking me a long time to get around to it but hopefully I'll get time eventually!

[@BrickfilmsWithCade]

From the cover it looks like they are using the rule of thirds

[@GoldPuffin]

Yes - I actually took this photo specifically for the thumbnail but there are quite a few times in this video where I accidentally did "pro" things while trying to be a noob! Oops!

[@okwstudios]

Cool nice job 👍

Awesome video dude love ur channel sooo much keep up the good work buddy ❤️❤️

[@GoldPuffin]

Thank you so much! 😁

[@lenito4638]

what is the name of the program you have to edit the animation ???

[@GoldPuffin]

I used Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to edit everything in this video. It is available on laptop / desktop but not on phone / tablet. Unfortunately it costs a lot of money, but there are lots of good free and cheap programs available too.

[@YR.humbleprince]

😂😂😂😂😂 could you do another "10 more things stop motion pro do" it was inspiring

[@GoldPuffin]

Yes, it's part of my plan for the 10k 10 weeks of madness, and I am planning for it to come out in 3 weeks from now.

[@sloopyanimations4539]

This was great 👍

[@GoldPuffin]

Thank you 😁 😁

[@dollarstudios803]

Omg I used to move one thing at a time so much during my first films

[@ckc9913studios]

I've watched a few of these, and, yes, I d make quite a few of these mistakes. My biggest problem is the fact I have no other voice actors, my tablet moves slightly, and I can't tell how quickly my characters will be moving in the end.

[@CertifiedGarfieldFanatic]

was ten made with paint the app? it looks like it

[@GoldPuffin]

Yes, and it actually took about 2 hours just to add the effects!
