You put SO MUCH WORK into these videos! I found you recently while studying how to make my own stop-motion armatures, and became a fan of yours. I sometimes just shake my head at the wonderful level of quality your videos contain. Inspirational, my friend! :D

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks, your channel is awesome too, I discovered you when you subscribed to me. All the credits in this video are from the students. They are impressive

[@cavalars]

@steadycraftin I am working too at this project! you know my work as toy_surgery on IG! anyway this video is stunning!

[@nickersbrugliera974]

That thing is the coolest and cutest little puppet I've ever seen!!!! This was AMAZING to watch you build every tiny piece. HUGE round of applause man. FANTASTIC

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Nickers Brugliera thank you, its a pleasure to share it

[@leoroam2770]

+ edu puertas - I understand the expensive cost of armature stop motion!! I felt happy for watching this video and I'll use materials of low costs for creating mine.Thanks for the video helps a lot .Now i wanna see how you use silicone to cover skeleton keeping for the joints

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Luis German Romero Chavez hope I find time to do things with silicone and show here.

[@slamtronx5834]

This is the coolest thing i've ever seen

[@wendyzheng7200]

Its always so fun to make something small!

[@zereldronbaccay2738]

I wish I had that kind of workshop :D Great work man :) been following your channel for a few days now as I am currently doing a stop motion short :) Keep it up

[@edupuertasfruns]

Great!! Work hard in it, a shortfilm is always a big challenge.

[@zereldronbaccay2738]

Thanks bro :) you are a big help to us beginners :D

[@aarizmanzoor6695]

Can you turn it into a puppet and make a film with it? I am sure I would watch it

[@marcbaptista]

Just Wow!

[@tanzzzi49]

I liked!!

[@VIProach]

Awesome

[@alimahdi6379]

well done

[@rioforce]

You should totally sell these online!

[@edupuertasfruns]

+rioforce I am affraid it is too small and so hard to animate at this scale, but I can think about it. Thanks for your comment.

[@Pongowl]

Please do sell them, I would definitely buy a bunch! Lots of people really love animating at small scale :D

[@TheVedicWayChannel]

Wow, impresionante! Me imagino que debe ser muy dificil animar con ese tamaño tan pequeño! Cual seria la ventaja de tener un modelo tan pequeño? Abaratar costos de luces y maquetas?

[@edupuertasfruns]

+The Vedic Way ninguno, no és practico. Este puppet és solo un reto mas para ver mis limites y de mis herramientas para cuando llegan encargos donde aplicar partes muy pequeñas.

[@MartynaKoleniec]

Hey! Those films are nice to watch and really helpful for stop motion animators. I wish you could make videos regularly. You earned a big fan :D

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks for your comment! I'll try to keep on it, I enjoy doing the videos, the main dificulty is finding time. Hope I could make you happy for long time. See you!

[@hubertwouts]

dude plz make more video,s like this

[@ThyrzaSegal]

why do the elbow joints and foot plates have slotted screws instead of female hex screws ? There must be an adjustment reason?

[@edupuertasfruns]

It is just because at that moment was hard to get tiny screws and still it is not easy

[@EDUTAMARIU]

Great work! You should get a collet chuck for the lathe to hold small diameter rod, also never wear gloves on mill/lathe/ bench grinder machines, it can get caught on the spinning chuck or grinding wheel! Keep the cool videos!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks for your advices!! a collet chuck would be amazing to have

[@keithfulkerson]

That is super impressive!

+ edu puertas - Antes que nada, quisiera felicitarte por tus videos y ademas porque me inspira tu dinamismo y buena vibra. Y mi pregunta es ¿que herramienta usas para tornear las bolas (balines)? ya que para mi ha sido imposible conseguirlas ya hechas para lo que me he fabricado mi propio tornito un tanto rudimentario pero creo que si funciona. Saludos desde México

[@edupuertasfruns]

Muchas gracias por tus palabras! Si uso un torno de metal de unos 60 centimetros de carro. Si te has fabricado un torno no te costará fabricar esqueletos.

[@HariWiguna]

Fantastic achievement! Do you have to manually "photoshop" out the armature holder from each frame or is there a more efficient way of removing supports? Thanks in advance!

[@edupuertasfruns]

It is not as slow as photoshop but the same idea in video editing software like After effects

[@katzchen100]

me encantaría hacer uno de mis muñecos con una de tus armaduras!!! me encanta tu trabajo! como puedo conseguir una???

[@edupuertasfruns]

Escibeme a [e-mail] y te mando nuestro catalogo.

[@enerxiazelementa]

soooo cuteeeeee

[@cavalars]

I think that is maybe possible also with a Cnc ! i have to try!

[@MrPaultheguitar]

Excellent on miniature armature was thinking how small can you make one out wire

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Paul Martin Harrison I should try

[@ClaudioFontachannel]

[@SCP--oz6oz]

Are you a employee of kinetic armature? If so, when will K 1 be back in s stock?

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hi, I am the owner, we are working to improve our stock management. You can mail us to pre-order one and in less than 2 week it will be shipped

[@SCP--oz6oz]

edu puertas cool, I might be getting it for my birthday, June 2nd, for my clay creations.

[@eggyboi1217]

How cute! Now I need to make one. I only have hand tools so it might take a while.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Go for it!

[@Ytsssss364]

Your videos are amazing. I found your channel searching for "arduino" for stop motion. What software are you using for rotoscoping? Taking out the alligator clip that is holding up the armature on the vise? After Effects? Nuke? Much thanks for the great videos. Your workshop/setup is most impressive. You're ingenious with your craftsmanship - bravo!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thank you for your support. I use Dragonframe to animate, no rotoscopy here, and After to clean the rigs.

[@Ytsssss364]

thanks - I meant "clean the rigs" thanks! please keep the videos coming! amazing work! I'm following you on google+ cheers!

[@Axongtech]

Wow great vide! how did you accomplish the walking in last part of video? I really want learn this kind of animate any suggestion where to start.

[@edupuertasfruns]

+shirzay amiri look for stop motion tutorials, get a càmera and practice. If you want to become an animator I teach in a Master degree in Barcelona or look for stop motion studies near your home.

[@Axongtech]

Thanks a lot for replying back... I will diffently do that.

[@antonioalbul00]

where did u buy the hinge joins

[@goose9437]

how did you get rid of the clip used to hod the figures

[@edupuertasfruns]

It is done with a specific software to edit video in postproduction, just erasing the parts you don't want

[@edgomez3420]

Wow how big is that? I see you make these where can I buy one?

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Ed Gomez this one is only for the vídeo. The ones I sell are from 15 cm tall. You can mail [e-mail]

[@sauronsauronsauronsauron8891]

Great content! But I have learned never to use gloves or any fabric (even if protective) near a lathe! Dude be careful!

I know, don't use it any more

Are these models available for purchase?

Brass and f1 steel from metal supplier. Buying up to 200 kg each time to make armatures with it
