Nostalgic, I'm so glad this video is still up after all these years, the animation is so good and those flash game sound effects are just the icing on the 2007 era cake!

[@ErrolElumir]

Flash game sound effects! *laugh* So true. :D

[@Fabulist]

The whole thing was terrific, but the ending was especially clever. Well done.

[@ErrolElumir]

Thank you! ^_^

[@grendelprime]

I originally discovered Stikfas while looking for a cheap model to use for stop-mo, and was dumbstruck by all the poor quality videos people posted. You, Sir, have restored my hope and inspired me to get back to work on my project. I look forward to seeing more!

[@sooomoza]

Oh the memories

[@ErrolElumir]

Gosh, that was 10 years ago!

[@slope.2469]

The memories of the toys breaking in my hands as I try and put them together...

[@rastAsia]

Errol.. you truely deserve an Oscar for the work and dedication you put into this.

[@humanpaul]

The natural swaying of his pony-tail is awesome!

[@Griev0us]

eBay or specific hobby stores. Must say I like this video a lot. The fighting is done really well, also much attention was given to her hair. Very cool.

[@0rip0]

I've seen this about 10 times now. It's the most amazing stikfas animation ever.

[@keithfulkerson]

The amount of work you put into this really shows. Wish I had that kind of patience. Great making-of blog, too!

[@SB-hr2mk]

Man this brings back some good memories, thanks for inspiring me all those years ago with this animation; it helped me get though my A-levles.

[@ErrolElumir]

You're welcome! ^_^

[@pjoyce07]

Brilliant work. Possibly the best stikfas video on youtube atm. Excellent lighting, sound fx and movement. Keep up the amazing work Errol 5/5

[@TussinTim]

Mindblowing. Makes Nos' fight scenes look like sleep over pillow fights.

[@AgentH53]

There is not enough stars to give, how awesome this is.

[@tedhobgood]

That was AWESOME! Painstakingly done and it shows--very smooth! Well done sir.

[@suupertramp]

that was pretty awesome, one of the best fight sequences i've ever seen

[@PlateOh]

Errol, your patience is outstanding.

[@ErrolElumir]

Ha yes! You recognized a little bit of capoeira I put in there. :D

[@GoReckless_]

So freaking Tight! Can't believe I haven't seen any of your stuff before!

[@zipbuffalo]

Totally awsome!...It inspired my boys to create their first stop animation - Basher's Gravy. Thanks for the great work!

[@123GiantPanda]

I make stop motion movies all the time, but nothing as good as THAT!

[@GraydenLaing]

Sleek and smooth - absolutely brilliant animation!

[@UnusualTastes]

The bit with the pony tail was genius.

[@seejaylaugh]

Wow, fantastic job! Killer sound effects, they really bring it all together. Good work! CJ

[@MightyMaul]

you're right. i've had 2 of them for a few days and one's arm is coming loose. i honestly don't know how someone could make such a great movie with such fragile figures.

[@FreemanFilms1]

dude, youve progressed so much from when u made that tutorial! this was an amazing animation

[@SaltyCrabOfficial]

There are no new commentaries but this was my chilhood

[@jetjeff5]

Also, this inspired me to buy some stikfas and make stop motion movie. This animation is awesome!!

[@CaptQuestionable]

Outstanding! This shows an amazing level of dedication and talent. Hats off to you. I'll be off to pick some of these brilliant little things tomorrow and give it a shot myself. Truely top-notch!

[@sapmmer]

totaly terrably awsomasly, awfully fantastic, i love it, watched it about a million times studying the moves so when my stikfas come I can try kungfu with them, I also read to blog, thats pretty good too.

[@Okarkar]

Man that need a LOT of time to pull off... amazing job.

[@mikepurvis5979]

You've totally stepped it up again, Errol; this is awesome.

[@FuzzyVids]

To get stikfas go to their homepage. They have a store with mostly all of the figures that they have ever made. Yeah great great great *favorited* video dude.

[@michaelthetechrat]

EXCELLENT!!! As much fun as the Master Huang by "Counter656" fight, but with less Blood! I like the face-palm & hair bit especially!!

[@sandervankessel]

Awesome animation! The movements are very well done. You've got great skills : )

[@MackProductions]

Great work! I love seeing that you took a ton of time making the movements smooth and realistic. I checked out some of you making of blog too and it's great how much time you put in. Damn stop motion takes forever, but truly worth it. Awesome job.

[@fredlalas]

there we go. a great stop- animation. i can't wait to see your next work!

[@ScreamingTantrum]

Wow! Very impressive animation and fighting skills. :D

[@AlexanderNg]

Yeah, quite good. It was worth following the link and two and a half minutes of my time. Good job, Errol.

[@franklinturtle1710]

wow this video inspired me to buy stikfas and make my own stop motions lol

[@ErrolElumir]

Oh! You were able to buy stikfas? Cool, I didn't even know they were still selling them! I'm glad it helped inspire you!

[@hwahwa5]

DUde.... AWESOME.... to DA MAX... i wanna hug u for ur awesomeness

[@sm3rfer]

SOOOOOOOO EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BICYCLE KICK WAS PERFECT!!!!! hey arent some of your sounds from that castle defend game like the squish/crunch sound at 1:53-1:54 i used to play tat game lol

[@MikeTheGamer77]

this was absolutly AMAZING!!!!

[@BugsHaveProtein]

good job man!!! i'm so glad u did it the way u did, it could have been so lame otherwise!

[@Timbotao]

This is a great animation!!! keep up the great work!

[@MichaelJahhdogscribbleboy]

Great job. Loved the hair animations! ArrrOOooo!

[@arrowheadss]

NICE!!!!!! Really smooth animation. Keep up the good work!

[@mec567]

I had Stickfas 4 years ago.

[@Spidermandud]

Probably the best I've ever seen :O

[@terrymation]

great video, the motion was really smooth

[@Toresdale]

I wish I had known about stikfas when I was younger...

[@Dewfilms]

Any possibility of a FIGHT 2.0 (now much much longer) This film is *still* awesome, btw

[@ErrolElumir]

DEWFILMS! Long time no chat!!!

[@Dewfilms]

@@ErrolElumir I know right? How are you?

[@ClaymationClayton]

Very nice, have you ever worked with clay? I've worked with clay and stikfas. They both have their advantages.

[@Gamerkid660]

I really need to find these in the online market and learn how to build them. First time I built them did not go well at ALL.

[@ErrolElumir]

AH! That came with the monk set. :D

[@MightyMaul]

that's really resourceful! i'll have to borrow some from my mom.

[@funkypants99]

this is freaking amazing dude

[@DanMetalMadCat]

Brilliantly done. Smooth, convencing, action well performed. I am working on a fight scene with my robots, and I wonder some questions at this point, apart from already being inspired by your vid. questions: How long did it take you to animate the whole short? Where are the sounds originally from? what was your frame rate? how many puppets were you using?

[@Jshaw71]

a real warrior needs no weapon, he/she is a weapon, but a nice video thanks for the video...

[@mamshmam]

That was amazing! Really well done.

[@sunium5814]

One like and a verified checkmark how!

[@blobofblue]

man that's so realistic!

[@EddieLowFilthSlayer]

Dude, you could give Patrick Boivin a run for his money. Stikfas were the best, shame the company went out of business.

[@LolOmgWtfx]

omg thts a strong ass weave!!

[@DebsAndErrol]

E: I'm sad you can't get these anymore.

[@GoldenCharCreator]

it`s one of the bests continue the good work

[@GagOo27]

Waw c'est super bien fait !! j'adore !!

[@SkinwalkrDisrespectr]

Still a classic!

[@ErrolElumir]

Joseph Haller Thank you! ^_^

[@lazaryoung5217]

+Errol Elumir i am so sorry

[@colt45joe]

ridiculously amazing.

[@bluebandaid]

nice one errol. im glad i clicked the link, it was worth it!!

[@hwahwa5]

amazing... just impossibly amazing

[@RocketLawnchair]

Nice stop motion. I dig.

[@chino0moreno]

Wooow, really nice, im impressed

[@franciscotapia3811]

That was awesome!

[@MikePetel]

Amazing! You are simply Amazing! I'm in Awe!

[@ShootingMania]

AWSOME VIDEO. LOVE IT!!!

[@Jaimezer]

wow cool u uploaded this on my bday!

[@ErrolElumir]

That's a bit more complicated to explain, however, in the description, I kept a blog about how I made the whole thing. :D

[@deltashadow95]

hat guy: mah ha ha ha, i have a sword. girl: "facepalm" hat:: DIE "charge" "swing" "miss" girl: "takes hair off" "slaps hat with hair" hat: uugg

[@tehbertl]

Watch this. NOW. FRIGGIN NOW OKAY?!

[@jetjeff5]

So to be clear: the loop is from GarageBand, 24 fps, and you might be making a new stop motion? Or by funding do you mean money....

[@frizzy2k6]

dat was awsome dude!!! should of made it longer

[@KyoshiNin]

wooooooooooooo!!!!.. LUVD IT!!!... AWSUME!!! XD really inspires me :] favorite :]

[@brickfield]

Wow. Freaking awesome.

[@drgreedo]

wow really amazing work. I want some of those puppets to play with. Any info on where u get the from??

[@Pestilence86]

Cool 2:40 minutes. Now i think i wanna do this too, but im sure i will loose motivation after the first 10 hours of animating, and i will not even have a half minute of video by then xD

[@ErrolElumir]

Allo! If you mean the background, I pulled the webcam really close, had a really bright light, and then turned down the brightness of the camera. :) Made everything dark around!

[@Jordanime]

would you say its a basic necessity to have the stickfas fight on lego surface for balance, or can it be achieved with just regular flat surface?

[@ChridsBop]

SO AWESOME!

[@funkypants99]

yea this is freaking sweet man

[@HalfSightFilms]

wow, thats awesome! 5 stars!!

[@FRESHL1887]

01:41 Eddy Gordo Style....Awesome....

[@Rbt208]

Who knew hair could stand up to a guy with a sword?

[@Dewfilms]

A backwards and forwards wow. You've been watching a lot of Kung-Fu and Anime lately haven't you? ;)

[@jetjeff5]

Thanks for replying back so quickly! :D

[@SageofTalos]

they were great once they were built...for a few weeks. If you treated them like action figures like I did, they would get ridiculously loose and then be no better than a rag doll.

[@bluebandaid]

no sorry thats the reg. for lego's. he used 24fps coz theres more points of movement

[@vfwing]

Excellent!

[@D_Vice88]

great work! 5 starz!

[@Raystopmotions]

Woah, sick! I wish I'm as good as you, man!

[@ErrolElumir]

Raystopmotions Hah! It just took a lot of work... that's all. :D Thanks!

[@theurgist]

great work

[@yinyanpogi]

I love that one
