[@stagelinedpro]

Thank you Tim Allen, star of hit sitcom Home Improvement.

[@mamshmam]

Love this channel. Hope it continues to grow so more can see your great work :)

[@williamduncan4266]

I have already learned a lot from your videos. I'm a stop-motion beginner. Thank you

[@edupuertasfruns]

a pleasure

[@criddyla696]

I am just starting out in 2023, hopefully you are still going and have learnt the skills and enjoy going forward, cheers

[@sotomonte_]

Super interesting! That's why stop motion is so amazing and unique, just a small rod can make a difference! Edit: oh, and congrats on 50k, you are the best!!!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks for being there and commenting always

[@ZAPANIMATIONS]

Me: TIM ALLEN!?! Oh wait..

[@oilyrussianpipecleaner]

This guy is still okay though

[@黴菌-z8r]

Amazing. So many details that a beginner won't notice.

[@Sean_makes_stuffs]

Such an amazing animator, cool that you got to hangout with him and make this video for us to learn! You both are such amazing animators, really enjoyed this video! 🙂👍🤘

[@edupuertasfruns]

Tim is a master in it's job and good friend

[@criddyla696]

Your Chanel is so useful for myself and my friend who are just starting out on the Animation journey and your videos are helping a lot, hope you are still doing well in 2023, cheers

[@TwinTales]

[@michaelg_839]

Wow, just amazing. So simple, yet so effective. ❤

All ingenious is simple. Thank you for sharing!

[@matshiob]

Amazing video! Your work is so enjoyable as always!

[@BrickJr]

Always stay tune, thank for share brother

[@karynellis8404]

Thank you! That was an amazing mini master class. :D I am thinking that double ended knitting needles might work as a dob stick too!

[@bonequices141]

Incredible tips! Thank you so much for this video!

[@afifataskeen8472]

You do such remarkable animation

[@jenky1044]

Very nice, great little tricks, thank you.

[@gabrielaleon4578]

Wow I love how much your channel grows! you teach me my first steps for Stop Motion and now thanks to your videos I’m doing videoclips for 5 songs of a peruvian band :)

[@edupuertasfruns]

So happy to hear that, mucha suerte con ese videoclip y a disfrutar animando

[@peterjellis]

Awesome as always. I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting Tim yet. Maybe one day 👍🏻

[@edupuertasfruns]

You have more chances than others being from the same country

[@peterjellis]

Ha I know. I’m sure our paths will cross at some point 😀

[@davidcooley4848]

Thanks, Tim (and Edu)! I was using toothpicks to shape and position clay characters but they didn't hold up too well. So I made a "pick" out of 1/8 inch diameter steel much like your Dob stick. I made one end sharp and the other rounded (for shaping).

[@edupuertasfruns]

Yes metal is the way to go for those tips, but sometimes wood is better to avoid damaging soft parts of the puppet so, don't throw away your toothpick😀

[@jj.flores]

Edu, this was amazing! Thank you so much for this! You are actually my favorite person to watch, as your obvious passion for this makes the videos way better than most of the stuff on this site. Thank you!!!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks Abraham

[@Thekaboozle285]

Amazing video, thank you guys

[@thunderdronefpv1412]

I’m about to do a test on the mini stage and this really helps, I got some steel rod and a grinder!

[@SuperLuses]

¡Buen video! Los consejos son muy útiles, ¿si quiero hacer esqueletos de alambre me recomiendas usar palos de madera pegados en el alambre para simular los huesos?

[@edupuertasfruns]

Prueba con lo que tengas, yo uso plancha aluminio o epoxi

[@SuperLuses]

edu puertas Muchas gracias

[@marknichols7861]

You might try using TIG welding tungsten electrodes. Use a small bench grinder to shape the ends. Hold the tungsten in a drill chuck and spin it. They’re available in various diameters and can be sharpened to a needle point easily. (Be careful).

[@edupuertasfruns]

Wow, seems really fancy for this application but I will give it a shot. For now I am using stainless steel rods.

[@tellme238]

This was The BEST for 2019 THE BEST!!!!

[@tonialarco1580]

Amaizing video, thanks Tim and Edu for sharing this tips!

[@edupuertasfruns]

[@magicalmax1000]

To infinity *AND BEYOND!!*

[@olgainwonderland7170]

Thanks for share this..very useful tips indeed...maybe one day I will able to make a decent puppet to use and I will applicate this to him...

[@edupuertasfruns]

I am sure you will, start making it tomorrow and you will!!!

[@stinkman70]

Thank you for that it was very helpful and informative .

[@sufferedenuf]

Great tip. I've been using chopsticks and bamboo sticks. Is there any advantage to steel? I may change over.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Just that they can be thinner to apply force but it can be same principle

[@lynnharvey77]

Dob stick - How about knitting needles or particularly - straight "cable" needles which are short and pointed at both ends and used for fancy stitch work? Thank you so much for your videos. They teach me so much.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Modified needles might be perfect

[@rachend810]

Yo he visto todas esas animaciones, buenísimas!, he visto incluso la de Isle of Dogs, pero mi favorita en definitiva es El niño y el zorro...

[@dicelabiblia7461]

Great video, thank you both so much

[@m.monstre6007]

that's geniously simple and usefull! thanx!

[@sophirebolledo6054]

I'm in love, the video was really interesting and amazing

[@dobrinyanev1539]

Very helpful video!! Many thanks to Tim for sharing tips with the world! Was great working with him on Flying Machine and Frankenweenie! Looking forward to meet him again soon. ... Funny: I don't even remember who gave that name to the tool, but I've never called it that way.

[@MacobstonProductions]

Wow fantastic video

[@poklatkowowarsztatyanimacji]

I am so amused that Dobrin got an animation tool named after him :D Height of fame!

[@dobrinyanev1539]

Funny: I don't even remember who gave that name to the tool, but I've never called it that way.

[@FrogiaStopMotion]

Thank you very much❤❤❤

[@edupuertasfruns]

Yey

[@HocusFocusProductions]

I wonder if a wooden skewer can be used as a substitute or if they're not strong enough.

[@edupuertasfruns]

I think they can bend so it is hard to trust them

[@dwtsn]

excellent tips

[@SocratesAlexander]

My god! It seems to me so impossible to animate these puppets the way real people do. You must be crazy, cause you make it thousands of time.

[@UltraKryptonian]

I’ll call it the “Stabby Stick 9000”.

[@emfrankson1590]

Dob stick is a short double-pointed knitting needle, used for knitting socks .

[@teahasbeenspiltatthissessi7030]

I want to be a stop motion animator and i was wondering if they still make the puppets by hand or if its done digitally, because i would love to do it by hand

[@edupuertasfruns]

Puppets are real, all by hand

[@afifataskeen8472]

@@edupuertasfruns unbelievable

[@leonmotion2813]

Como lo haces para que no se vean los agujeros que vas haciendo en el piso del set?

[@edupuertasfruns]

Post-production or using plasticine to cover it

[@leonmotion2813]

edu puertas muchas gracias!🙏🏼

[@anandmoon5701]

How is the small puppet object scaled to bigger canvas on movie screens ? Second question is the frame rate maintained in full animation flim like 1080p, 4k..etc.

[@edupuertasfruns]

The dob stick is around 10 cms. We shoot normally at 4k 24 fps

[@darkstarcomic3234]

hola edu estoy pensando hacer una pequeño corto de stopmotion creo que me llenara de muy buenos momentos y seguro que disfruto haciendo todo el trabajo me parece que puede gustarme ha primera vista me gusta ahora quiero practicar y intentar hacer cosas nuevas como esto , gracias por compartir tus ideas y tu grupo de trabajo en ese maravilloso taller .

[@VincentVanGray]

0:49 what a movie?

[@dollslifefiction3681]

Thank you for this video and all the tips! I have just subscribed and I wonder if there a link where we can see a long video of Matilda.

[@shwetankpandey7224]

Where will I find the full Matilda movie

[@into.the.wood.chipper.]

Can you use a dob stick to turn eyes?

[@edupuertasfruns]

You could but it is not the most pointy tool

[@rachend810]

Hi an d thanks, Tim Allen!!.... And cheers Edu puertas!, you are my amor platónico!

[@ToomeysLottoMadness]

do the post production people have to remove the rods every frame??? Like over and over again?
