If Hahli is going to make an appearance I would love for whoever voiced Hahli in Noah Productions' stop motion movies to reprise that role.

[@BovineDesigns]

Oooh i agree! She was definitely one of the highlight VA's.

[@Alicat0314]

I look forward to y’all’s designs on characters such as the Piraka and Toa Metru. Awesome stuff!

[@egeoeris]

Worth the wait, this is so pretty!

[@literally_leo]

Oooooo may unity duty and destiny guide you

[@inimata_irl]

intro soundtrack goes off who made that sheesh

[@FlorMattheeuws]

Excited for this!!

[@petrus6877]

Wish I had some time to help out with the environments, but busy times and all that. Best of luck!

[@RaiJolt2]

Nice!

[@asherzerbib3461]

Is the cast completely original from the official movies? Would you consider bringing anyone who's worked on the original films back if you could?

[@BionicleIliad]

The cast will likely be completely original. If we could bring any professional voice actors on to the project, including those who were part of the movies, we would not be opposed.

[@MelonPumpkinhead]

Not sure if you were already aware of this issue or not, but I did not get a notification for this despite the fact I've been subscribed for a long while. The bell icon is set to "none" (it has a slash going through it) and when I click it and click "all" it reverts back to "none". After going to your channel and clicking the bell there it said "This action is turned off for content made for kids". If nothing can be done about it through youtube then I guess my next question is if the discord will remain strictly for applications or if it'll eventually be a place to get updates on this project?

[@inimata_irl]

The discord is absolutely open to anybody and it defs gets the most direct updates.

[@BionicleIliad]

Thanks for letting us know, we will adjust accordingly.

[@Chiro_Cody]

Just curious, is there any voice acting?

[@BionicleIliad]

There will be voice acting as part of the series, however, we are not currently focused on that aspect of production.

[@ericadams5294]

Is there any room for voice talents

[@BionicleIliad]

There is room for voice talent and for people to send in auditions, however, we are not currently casting people.

[@ericadams5294]

@@BionicleIliad ok cool please let me know when you start casting, because I would love to be a part of this

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

This looks awesome! The models especially, since they look like they can be built irl too. I can't wait to see how this project turns out.

[@E4439Qv5]

Sadly I lack the technical skills to help animate, and my contacts are nowhere near what they once were, but there's no chance in Karzahni I'm not subscribing to you madlads- bell notifications and all.

[@N01inparticular]

It’s been 3000 years

[@gpizzle5006]

I'm a good withdrawn but I don't think I have or text. I got a bunch of ideas for a biological movie and stuff. I don't know that's what I'm saying support this idea. I'm newly to the biological community. I love the front chance and I would like to help but I don't think I got what it takes to design fully fledged story animated stuff. I do have a variant depths backstory behind my character so I don't think I got what it takes

[@justsomeguy5628]

I can't help myself, as I don't know my way around blender and can't make art, but would you guys have the rights to use the 3d models featured in Bionicle: The Legends of Maya Nui (PC Game) as a basis for creating environments, with changes be made as necessary?

[@BionicleIliad]

I don't know how much we will be able to use the game assets, but we will definitely look into it. Thanks for the help. -Mohio

[@lees_l822]

This is awsome!!

[@mosheg.4604]

Woooooooo BIONICLES

[@shazampop2680]

I am so excited!

[@SMunozDB7]

Have you considered using matte paintings for backgrounds/fx?

[@tristancannaday1742]

This Project Looks amazing! I know how to write music, I think I could help with writing the music for this, when It gets off the ground..

[@Pahjx]

Why are all the models CCBS?

[@BionicleIliad]

The models use all sorts of different styles of build to achieve a balanced style. We also believe this provides the most articulation for our builds.

[@PhyreSpore]

Is this the final push I need to learn Blender????? It's certainly up there.

[@Taohe_Netrus]

With all things you've presented on this video, it looks like something actually possible to make :D

[@LeoxandarMagnus]

Good luck to y’all!

[@etnurb2536]

how did i get here

[@BionicleIliad]

The same way anyone gets anywhere, through the power of destiny.

[@ezrameraz-lerma6604]

Does this also capture the gameboy game where Takua summons the Toa and the novels as well?

[@BionicleIliad]

It's not shown, but the events are referenced often.

[@ezrameraz-lerma6604]

@@BionicleIliad Do you mean the gameboy game or the novels?

[@BionicleIliad]

@@ezrameraz-lerma6604 The previous comment was in reference to the Gameboy game, Quest for the Toa. The show follows more closely to the novelizations.

[@ezrameraz-lerma6604]

@@BionicleIliad wonderful!! I've always wanted to see the novels brought to life. Thank you.

[@P8H5]

far out the models looks amazing and that ending with the mana crab

[@cringedefender5264]

Do you need any voice actors?

[@gray1013]

Man, I’m stoked!

[@diegoserrano3161]

Magnificent.

[@fernandoorozco5968]

love it

[@jayjaygolden5123]

looks awesome, though itd be cool to see some more followthrough on the animations

[@BionicleIliad]

Checkout our most recent shorts!

[@jackspan4926]

Why so much CCBS in the models?

[@BionicleIliad]

Our models were built with the original design in mind, but utilize different building styles to achieve a desired look and articulation.
