Really well done 👏 I love your style of animation. It calls back to many of those old historic battle stop motions 🔥 super nostalgic. 😄 Incredibly great quality as well ✨️

[@TheKaen]

LETS GOOOO!!!

[@deltastudios3618]

I think it's weird how peaceful this stopmotion is. It is also very inaccurate about the fact they didn't show the last stand of Burgerking. (This was a very good stopmotion and its also super cool)

[@FCTH597]

The realism in this video about the brutallity of combat is amazing. Definetly taking inspiration for this in my next battle video

YOOOOOO ITS OUT! Can't wait to see more historical content! I like the Brictator style! You should also do a tutorial on how to make the arrowless bows and seperate arrows!

[@priestNikolai]

[@kriegerproductionsofficial]

Excellent work and the canon were pulled off perfectly! As accurate as usual too! The French were good soldiers and knew battle tactics, but the knights were just a little stuck up and ignored battle tactics ruining the unity of the army.

[@brickwizardstudio]

A great stop motion about one of the most interesting historical battles. For some reason I forgot to subscribe to your channel. This mistake is fixed now

[@NightmareStorm_]

[@Nevergonnabehim__]

Again, another amazing stopmotion. I love the way this animation is made. And i can’t wait for another one! Small tip for the french knights though- Using plain black legs and any black torso looks pretty good in my opinion, but that’s your decision to make. Good stuff man!

[@rhysharden-nd3rx]

I can tell this is based off of the brickdiater but wonderful animation

[@sebdrums106]

[@brickdominion1406]

[@Indie_345]

COOL!!!!

[@joagluck]

I realy like your video, I can see so much effort put in making this movie. I'm glad the heavy armor of the knights actually protect them and to kill knight weapon must reach vital point. What is to improve it is use of cannons. That weapon didn't make any major part of the battle and their effectiveness was little, but I understand that from artist point of view it helps diverse battle, which is fine. But shoots gives no effect on the cannon, they stay in the place, while whole cannon should move back or something to show power of black pounder and phisic. I know, nerdy, but I realy enjoy little details. Anyway, good work.

[@chillypenguinstudios72]

Very epic! it reminds me of the bricktator animations about the hundred years war

Офигеная анимация!!!!! Масштаб присутствует плавность есть а качество камеры и звуки шикарны !но есть 1 минус почти все войны были с добрыми лицами и также сними погибали

[@plastcraft]

согласен) а еще можно было небо хромакеем сделать - смотрелось бы намного лучше!

[@historyvialego3667]

There is a bit uncertainty with the arrows' killful power. In reality bow's arrow cannot pierce knight's armour. Archers were used to mow down knights' horses, which weren't armour-protected properly. What about animation - it's impressive, painstaking work. Quite interesting. I'm sorry if I wrote something incomprehensible - I'm just russian-speaker.

[@brickdominion1406]

All good! Cool to hear people in russia are watching my vids!

If crecy is remade the potholes the english made could be included The tools used on crossbows are very hard to depict in lego unfortunately and custom pieces cost like 40 euro Shooting in volleys wasnt that common, the constant rain could not be stopped by the parvises

[@eduardomagana3858]

This feels familiar

[@TundraStopMotion]

Amazing Stop Motion! But could you please make a stop motion where the French (or Black Falcons) win? Maybe like the battle of Castillon? So many Hundred Years War animations always have the english winning, even tho the french won. Just an idea, but great animation tho, very nice gore effect

Where do you get all your figures from? Are these all from official sets? If not where can I get a bunch?

[@T_1m]

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use to edit your videos? Also, how long does it usually take to make these stop motions? Also great vid btw! :)

[@brickdominion1406]

Thanks! I think all of my visual effects are done in video so it only takes a couple days to do the rest of the editing(sfx &subtitles). I use audacity for sfx and stop motion studio pro for the actual capture software. Averages out to 1-2 months per video

[@BrixBrax_]

Hey Man, I really love your content, any tips you got for fellow animators?

[@brickdominion1406]

My biggest piece of advice is momentum. My most favourite personal scenes/clips use weight/easing in and out really well. It truly makes all the difference the more you practice it
