[@TheGeneralMoe114]

Wow! Amazing job, the animation, location, sound and voice acting, effects and story where spot on! Another great addition to the army men stop motion community!

[@jacksalyers3379]

The General Moe G'day General!💂

[@Schiftel]

Most of the voice acting is from a game "Company of Heroes"

[@mikewong2440]

I do have to call it tho... 7:28, you cannot pen an Abrams, or most MBTs for that matter, with one hit. Even APFSDS isn't that juiced up.

[@Aeonearies]

Yes you can pen an Abrams, especially because that tank was a British Challenger 2

[@sallystorey2763]

Hollywood people seeing dis be like what do u mean

that was the best visual effects I've ever seen. this looks like a Hollywood movie. congrats

[@elementalclockwork]

Daniel Tucker I know right

[@sam8404]

Eye no write

[@Fourwheeljive]

Wow! As a creator on KZbin who does stop motion movies, I’m blown away by the quality of stop motion I see in theses movies. I know the amount of work it takes to produce just a few seconds of film much less a few minutes. Amazing!

[@general_strivegames5853]

Squad Leader: *SENT IN AC130!!!!!!* Enemy: *AC130 ABOVE!!!!!*

[@JazzRazeYT]

Where could I get some of these army men

[@blank557]

Hah! Just noticed the book "Dune" serving as a dune terrain piece. I see what you did there!

[@acosta9034]

Wow i cant believe i just watched a movie 😱🔥better than Hollywod 👌🏼👌🏼

[@HaySho-yo1ut]

Plastic apocalypse by mike and black star are insanely good

[@seandarager]

yo i get wat ur saying but dont underestimate hollywood

[@jayrico9606]

Miniwod instead of hollywod

[@ksatria4li881]

Am I the only one that got reminded of Battlefield 2?

[@cameronkarus9602]

Same voice over from bf4

[@PaperAndHomemadeGuns]

Also radio effects on the background is from the Battlefield 2 Main Menu

[@kubin5080]

Phim rât tiec

[@jojeantesiorna779]

Yes

[@doodoofart3391]

Nope

[@GwenP00L3]

I really like how u switch to tactical maps, drone/aerial views, to the infantry cam. It gives you some "awareness" of the battlefield that I have never seen any war movie do. Seriously.

[@caniget2subs22]

I remember watching part 1 3 or 4 years ago, finally part 2 came out.

[@user-lf6br2gj4y]

機器自。

[@bible91]

If you're looking for an honest opinion, Michael Akkerman could learn a couple things from you. You nail the special effects and the fire fights, the only thing he beats you with is story content (Dialogue, characters, that sort of thing) but it is understandable since your series is about the overall war and not the point of view of a certain soldier or unit. Congratulations, and keep up the amazing work

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+bible91 My videos are more mindless action whereas his are more cinematic and character driven. I like both.

[@bible91]

BlackStarInitiative "Mindless action" Tsk tsk Mr. Blackstar, don't sell yourself so short

[@Vulpine407]

Agreed. With just a few short radio messages you set the "story" up perfectly.

[@Ray-yv7kn]

@@BlackStarInitiative A collab with Akkerman would be nice.

[@Mn12074]

*-levi ackerman?-*

[@galenyoder9899]

I was super pumped when I saw the teaser a while back, and this definitely didn't disappoint! good job as always!! Super badass!

[@prstauro]

Funny, that's how I imagined it when I was a kid playing with plastic soldiers (early 80s) and dirt rocks.

[@Mickamations]

And this is what happens when you stay inside and watch army men videos all day. An entire war breaks out between little plastic figures in your neighborhood

[@beasalinas3088]

When is FC pt 4 coming out?

[@emilioalvesdelima769]

Fui Militar durante 8 anos, exército brasileiro. Gosto muito de assistir esse filme com bonecos de plástico. Tenho 43 anos rsrsrsrs. Meu filhos ficam rindo rsrsdss mais acham bom.

[@CasperTheRamKnight]

legal ksksks

[@anderso.nteles]

Eu tenho 32 anos e adoro ver esses vídeos, a história é muito boa. A única diferença disso pra um filme de Hollywood é que é feito com bonecos de plástico, se lançassem um filme com atores faria ia ser sucesso.

[@Antonn371]

I never been amazed by such a great stop motion channel! The visual effects are awesome and in this video in some parts it look like there actually moving their arms legs and heads.congrats! This is my childhood I wish I had.I saw the first one when I was somewhere around 5.

[@thatsaverygoodquestion856]

Kids before: *slaps* Kids now: "Let's settle this with army men."

[@blank557]

Fantastic! This is what I imagine when I go "Pew! Pew! Pew! BOOOM! with my army men.

[@mr._g_reyes385]

Back from childhood. Probably you will be the next Michael Bay director.

[@waynehatchell3563]

Why am I easily entertained by this stop motion army men movie? It's dam freaking good that's why. A lot better than most films put out by Hollywood.

[@kingshah1902]

😳🤯🥰 The level of AWESONESS that I just experienced can not be put into words.. I LOVE IT‼️‼️‼️

[@aatrickey9films481]

Great short film! You have great special effects and camera cuts. I really enjoy your content. I have made my own stop motion and I would love feedback on what I could do better.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

I liked your channel, I left some comments on the vids.

[@MTRT55]

Just found your video great effects i will check out your other modern warfare videos as well.

[@MTRT55]

Can you also give me some feedback i am trying to improve my videos as well i really appreciate it

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+The Currentor You just need to improve your frames per second. Other then that you've got the right idea :)

[@susanegan9664]

BlackStarInitiative

[@t74guard78]

That is without a doubt the best stop motion I have ever seen. Such an incredible job, WOWWW!!!! Loved how the soldiers would go from standing to kneeling and vice versua. The gun and cannon fire and their effects was truely amazing. If your not in the film industry, you should be. If you are then that explains it.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Thanks. I just do it for fun.

[@brel1666]

at 9:15 i love when he get blow away

[@raddactcontent]

Nothing can express what I feel about this stop motion

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Does that mean you liked it?

[@raddactcontent]

BlackStarInitiative yeah pretty much

[@kubelkampferin1245]

This guy deserves more views, likes and subs considering this video's quality as well as his first one of this series

[@Gilgamesh770]

Soldier's voices when there fighting are from battlefield 4 I'll never forget the engineer that always says "There lighting me up!"

[@Pauligon606]

When I first watched this as a kid, I was confused of who is fighting who. Now I learned, NATO is fighting both the Insurgents and the Chinese.

[@202reece5]

Great film! The editing, the special effects, and the accuracy (historically) is great! I just recommend when soldiers die you put more spotlight on it. In this if a troop dies the soldiers carry on like robots without emotion. Even when the special forces team loses a guy they don’t care and carry on. It makes them seem like they don’t care for their teammates at all.

[@danielpickrell8311]

It's not that they don't care, usually you continue mission and after you kill the enemy/maintain suppression is when you can heal. Mission comes first. The moment you break the offensive to heal one guy or two is when you lose the offense and possibly the battle.

[@danielpickrell8311]

The mission outcome saves more lives

[@202reece5]

Daniel Pickrell But they don’t give a hoot and don’t even see if they’re alive or not, gun shots aren’t always fatal. Also, like a anime character once said p: “Those who break the rules of ninja are scum, but those who don’t care about their comrades are worse then scum.”

[@danielpickrell8311]

Naruto quote. But also in Naruto in big battles you can't always save a friendly. Look at the 4th Great Ninja war. You'll have a unit to save lives after the frontline is pushed up a bit for friendlies to come in and save the casualties

[@202reece5]

Daniel Pickrell I’m not really saying saving them, but not giving a single look, not even seeming phased about having a comrade die is not caring about a comrade at all. But I do see where you’re coming from.

[@Leefortvna]

Those battlefield 2 3 and 4 sounds really enjoyed the video just wish that there was a way making these is easier just so we can see more of them

[@lakebeaustudiosSDM]

Very well done i love this series! keep up the good work :)

[@tacticalmarine4175]

Just like a movie, I love these videos. Your editing is great.

[@user-ov4tg5ij3g]

that nostalgic moment when you hear commands from battlefield 2 :P

[@absolutfreeman1033]

The best stop motion I've ever seen..

[@amistrophy]

The insurgents are like storm troopers, all the shoot is empty space!

[@kylegreenwalt3836]

I could watch this all day. You should try to send this to Hollywood this shit is awesome

[@itz_gacha_icykurt5309]

The m1a2 abrams is the coolest tank

[@eduardoconpintelse7377]

i love everything about your channel its like its perfect for me and even tho i havent watched this vid fully i know its gonnna be a good one

[@genericscout2693]

this is here to prove stop motion is art

[@mr_soggie_on_twitch]

after all these years still a master peace

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

I really like the way you use computer added elements and your models are very well done. Gives a surreal look going across the living room. I wish I could pick your brains on how and what you use to make these videos as I have an idea I would like to try out.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+Alex Babcock You can find me on Facebook if you'd like to pick my brains.

[@tabletophobbies.terraintec2697]

very very very very very cool I think is Best animation so cool! :)

[@KylesYTU]

How long did this take you?! This should be sold as a series.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Too long.

[@Pooperz100]

lol captain price back at it again with his announcer voicing

[@CasperTheRamKnight]

the only problem with those movies is that the characters never care about their fallen allies, otherwise it would be amazing lol

Nothing is better than general mo video 😂

Thats awsome, the vehicle noises and dialogue are from battlefield 4!

[@Sapphiregamer8605]

This is awesome all you need to get fixed is the screaming there is screaming before the soldiers get shot-wait that might be different soldiers nvm you don’t have to fix anything

Damn that knocked plastic apocalypse out of the water

[@garou550]

What app did you use to make this its so cool

[@jccastillo7923]

black knight *Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro*

[@S_sleepin]

Professional software, not mere 'apps'

[@AHLSPUDS]

hey so I hope this can be used at some point in time, your choice if you even ever read this, most tanks don't actually catch fire when taken out unless ammo stores are hit and in most modern tanks they are water cooled, but when it does happen its concentrated out of hatches, also the Kalythian tanks, M1A2 Abrahams, can take shots from everything I have seen in your videos to the front, making most shots directed towards the flanks, back, the turret (crack between body and turret mostly, to disable the gun movements and kill the gunner) as well as the tracks (to track and immobilize the tank) the most common targets, I however get how this is hard to do and I still believe your videos and its content are great, this is only constructive criticism and I hope its seen as so.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

I'll see if I can make the damage a bit more realistic on future

[@copeious3045]

This was a real good stop motion, one of the best! My only critique, when the explosions happen shake the camera, it show the shockwave.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+christopher cope Maybe next time, I'd have to figure it out.

[@copeious3045]

BlackStarInitiative with after effects, you can use twitch action in the menu.

[@jacksalyers3379]

Awsome!☺

[@eligleason3359]

I like the irapy freedom touch to it
