"Call of Duty" - A Mega Construx / Bloks Stop Motion Animation ||| found in a random folder, old |||

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What software do you use to make your videos?
A: I used to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create my animations, but now do minor editing with HitFilm Express (It's free!)
Q: What camera do you use?
A: The camera I use is a Canon EOS Rebel T3i.
Q: How many Frames Per Second do you use?
A: Most of my stop motions run 15 FPS.
Q: What music is in the video?
A: "Old Comrades" from the Modern Warfare OST
Q: Where do you get your sound effects?
A: Here's a link to Sergeant Major Avery Johnson's Channel. He takes sound effects directly from the Halo games, so all the sounds are authentic! / channel
Q: How do you get figures to walk?
A: I frequently use an adhesive material called "sticky tack" whenever I am positioning a figure to walk or when I'm having trouble balancing it.
Q: How did you get so good? How do I improve?
A: The ONLY way to improve your stop motions is to continue practicing. I've been doing stop motions (off and on, mostly off) for about 3 years to get to my current capabilities.
Here (below) are a few key beginner mistakes and fixes.
1a. Light flicker - individual images' lighting doesn't match perfectly, therefore, when the pictures are played quickly together, it appears as though the stop motion is flickering.
2a. How to fix the issue:
- Close off all sources of light (especially natural light from the sun).
- Position a lamp pointing onto your stop motion set.
- Added benefit -- Lighting is a principle element of composing intriguing stop motions.
1b. Unnecessary or unwanted camera movements that cause the stop motion to appear as if it is violently shaking.
2b. How to fix the issue:
- Use a tripod to hold your capture device. A tripod also enables you to position your camera from (almost) any angle.
- If not a tripod, then tape your camera into place
- If not tape, then use a form of sticky tack or similar substance.(tape/sticky tack may damage or leave residue on certain surfaces, use your personal discretion to decide if it is necessary).
1c. Not implementing properties of physics - To make a stop motion appear real, you'll have to apply the concepts of real life to it.
2c. How to fix the issue:
- You don't need a Master's Degree in physics.
- Understand that objects accelerate and decelerate (in stop motion, this is occasionally referred to as "easy-in and easy-out)".
- An object moving slow requires MORE images and as it moves faster (hence accelerates) it needs LESS pictures. When the entity comes to a stop, slowly take more and more images until it is no longer moving.
- This is unrelated to acceleration and deceleration, but figures shouldn't perform an action that requires force without some sort of
prior action to prepare for it. For instance, if a figure jumps it shouldn't simply propel forward. First, it must bend its knees and then swing its arms backwards in order to prepare to thrust itself into the air.
If you have any other questions and things of that nature, please leave a comment below! :D

love the way it says call of duty but halo music starts playing instead, great vid btw, happy that it back

Actually the song is "Old Comrades" from Modern Warfare, but it does have a nice Halo-esque feel to it. Perhaps that's why I chose it... :P

Looks great and the ending would have been emotional but also good. Not sure how old this is but still has that fantastic way of making the figures look part of a real world. Love the way it builds with visually and matched by the music.

[@AxiologyStudios]

Thanks!! I think I made this about a year ago... Also, strangely enough, the video was already done, so it was a miracle to find a song that matched so well!

[@r6ranger672]

Imma take a shot at what I think the story is. 2 soldiers are in the middle of a war zone and their rescue is coming by helicopter. Right when the helicopter arrives, it gets shot down so the 2 soldiers take action.

[@crimsonking3578]

Dude this is amazing! I’ve been watching u for a year now but now I have an account.(Hardly worth mentioning) How do you get your backgrounds to blur and stay a single bright color to set the scene so well? (Btw u are the reason why I’m starting a channel for stop motion on a separate account, going to start soon but have no clue on what to do) Thanks

[@AxiologyStudios]

Sweet!! I'm so glad you're starting! Your camera's focal length changes the blurriness of the background. It also depends on how far things are away from the camera, so I keep the backgrounds farther back. To keep the background evenly lit, I take a lamp and point it directly on a piece of painted cardboard (seen at 0:29 when the helicopter flies by). If you're going to start, here are a few things I'd suggest! --- Grab two figures and play around with them. Just think of a very short story you can make! --- Next, clear off a sturdy table. If you have a baseplate for them to stand on, tape that to your table. Of course you can build your own scenery on baseplate and whatnot. --- Watch Alan Becker's video on the 12 Principles of Animation (look it up here on KZbin). Although he makes 2D animations, the principles remain the same for stopmotion. --- When you try to animate something, first ACT IT OUT!! For example, if you want a character to stand up from a chair, go sit in a chair and stand up. Perhaps you place your hands on your knees while leaning forward? Look for those small details~ This is a good habit to have! When I animate a character punching, I do that punch every time I take a picture. That way I can remember what the animation should feel! Let me know if you're still feeling a bit clueless, I'd be glad to try helping! -Dawson

[@crimsonking3578]

Axiology Studios Thank you so much! I really can’t tell you how much that means to me! Hopefully I can start my channel today, I’ll do my best to use all of these tips to the fullest! If it’s ok, may I link my channel to your next video? Anyways I hope you have a good day! Edit: Next video after the Spartan vs Elite fight scene with BTS

[@im_tired9884]

been dying to know which set did you get your m16 from?

[@AxiologyStudios]

Don't die on me Justin. STAY WITH ME. I've got the answer you've been dying to know! It's from the "Mega Bloks Terminator: Genisys T-1000 Pack". This is the only set to have ever used the mold, and unfortunately it's long since been discontinued... but you might still be able to find one online!

[@Blu_Ski07]

Which set is that mini-figure gun from in 1:27? Just wondering.

[@AxiologyStudios]

If I recall correctly, it's a pop'n'swap, so all of the pieces came from various other figures.

[@Juicylilpp]

Where do you get those wall bricks from?
