Army Men: Battle for the Backyard

A war between 4 nations is brewing. The Green are the first to strike right into the Tan heartland and capture the famous General Tannenburg!
About this film:
I made this over the span of 3 months during the summer. The film was improvised and made up on the spot. During filming i would watch other army men films over and over, drawing inspiration from them. This was my first 10 minute film, and my first time voice acting for around 3 years. I did not have help from anyone else, i did all the effects, voices and sets by myself. I edited the film on iMovie bit by bit after huge filming sessions, resulting in a slight increase in skill and experience, as well as new army men, as the film went on.
As this was my first 12 min film on youtube, it was not the best. However i was surprised to see it gain views and popularity, leading to me refining my skill and producing more quality content that you see nowadays.
filmed using imotion on my iPad
sounds from soundbible
My army men collection came mainly from ebay, local stores and years of collecting.

Concerning those who compare this to Plastic Apocalypse in the comments, please take the time to think about what you are saying. This video was inspire by PA , and i am open to constructive criticism, but i do not appreciate half baked comments stating "Reminds me of plastic apocalypse." or "me no like if u want 2 watch something good check out plastic acopallipse". I don't want empty statements, provide reason to your comments and form a coherent argument. Cheers The General

Dear The General Moe Hello? I'm '달무리' who enjoys The General Moe's videos. I enjoy watching the videos and I've seen a lot of stop motion projection. And I love the stop-motion video that deals with the war! The General Moe's videos are so much fun!

[@josiahm6205]

Pretty good. The FPS was amazing, especially when you captured the millipede moving very consistently at 10:18. My favorite part had to be the bridge report. "Objective pointless." And then the tower report. XD I laughed. Great humour!

[@mldeyoung]

I thick he just had a still frame with not moving them

[@mr.niceguy1812]

Throughout the annals of history, no battle surpassed the carnage and chaos of the Battle of the Backyard. You know about Vimy Ridge & Stalingrad, but this forgotten battle suffered more losses than the entire campaign in North Africa.

[@mmashie]

2:11 BUG ATTACK!!!

[@gagemullis8134]

make a playlist,or a series,this is:A Colony Divided PT 1,then have Greta assist the tan in PT 2,have the blues step in during PT 3,then an all out war with air and naval support and different types of armor and infantry with a truce,but the blues and greens victorious and the tans and Greta defeated,they go into hiding,but they are making a super weapon never seen before,you CHOOSE what it is and how to release it on the blues and greens,but just an idea,good luck!

[@gagemullis8134]

Greta is supposed to mean grey,but it was a strange typo

[@Natalie-em7sk]

Where did you get the green tanks

[@VOAI1998]

It actually a real good one.

[@Mr_skeleton-dz9bm]

Hey this is good i enjoyed ur vid noc work

[@FilmVidsShorts]

He was already a professional at stopmotion even in his first video

[@halliesilva3680]

Great video!one day I'm want to be a KZbinr and make army men videos like you

[@Uhumvin]

Just subbed , insaaaaaane channel !! How do you get the sound effects ?

[@martezmitchell7655]

you are awesome

[@Dilopho]

Oh, wow! You must have worked *really* hard on this! The stopmotion is incredibly fluid. And the action is awesome! This is one of my favourite videos on youtube.

[@TheGeneralMoe114]

***** thank you, that means a lot to me!

[@mrsmooth1542]

Where did you get those tanks

[@gabrielvincent7329]

That's cool battle

[@angrybeast0648]

There’s just one thing, the explosion effects can you use something else? But that’s the only thing I don’t agree with but everything else was great keep up the great work!

[@aarontheperson6867]

If people do compare this to Plastic Apocalypse, that's a compliment. And I do believe it is like Plastic Apocalypse too! But I'm talking about how good it is! Both this animation and Plastic Apocalypse are very well animated and have a good story with lots of action.

[@TheGeneralMoe114]

Heh, thanks but unfortunately comparison comments usually state "Not as good as PA" or something along those lines.

[@aarontheperson6867]

Yeah. I'm saying this in response to the comment "Copy of the army men apocalypse". And that probably is negative but I also thought of the positive too lol.

[@petitsoldat1497]

belle réalisation super

How did u show bullet effect.

[@jnitz6809]

do you ever plan on adding any other nations or sub factions?

[@kidsw3113]

Tannenberg's name sure is a touchy subject, it is mentioned 13 fricken times!

[@TheGeneralMoe114]

So your saying it's 'touchy' because it is mentioned a lot? why is that the case?

[@kidsw3113]

I don't know, you wrote the script (no offense)

[@kidsw3113]

these characters are a bit repetitive is what I am trying to say

[@kidsw3113]

And I am an absolute sychopath about repetition, so I couldn't help but mention

[@BrickzillaStudio-gu2qw]

Hi i have a stopmotion channel too how do you add the special effects like the shootiong

[@grindersgaming9447]

Wow man this is really cool! Consider adding some background music, but the stop motion is really smooth and the effects are great! All and all, THIS IS EPIC!

[@Sultan-Zaviyar-Rehan]

6:40 best moment in plastic army men history *correction Saddest moment in plastic army men history

[@josiahm6205]

TheGeneralMoe, I just released a tutorial for how I make stop motion, and for the short sequence I edit in the tutorial, I tried to improve its FPS. The thing is, with the movement amount I did, I'm not sure if it's better at 7 FPS or 10 FPS. I'd love your thoughts if you have the time! The link is below, set to begin at the exact point I start talking about this, and I move on to the tutorial material a minute after (at 1 min 38 seconds). You obviously don't need to watch the tutorial itself... unless you want to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4O0emRoeZt-r8U
