Halo Mega Bloks: Assault on High Ground Stop-Motion Animation

Its up to a rag tag group of Spartans to defend there base against an armada of relentless covenant forces. the UNSC soldiers have the high ground but the aliens have the numbers and they'll have to use whatever they can to keep the enemy at the gate at bay. Thanks to all who helped with the voices and everybody who kept me encouraged to get this one done! Links to them below:

Glad to hear that, this was my most favorite project to work on and colab with other animators!

Alexis Gutierrez most of the ones I make take a while to get rolling and find an audience. Prolegomenon took a minute but it’s got 32k now and i didn’t expect it to do that well

[@AlexisGutierrezProductions]

@@AndrewCoffmanAnimation oh yeah, that one is so satisfying, the loading weapons and gearing up. I put those kinds of scenes in the Gamera film, because it adds so much to the animation.

I have no Idea how I didn't see this before hand but I really enjoyed this stop motion Andrew. The set design was god tier and the animation and practical effect were stunning. The camera angles were amazing as well.

[@NDKfilms]

K this was fan-FREAKEN-tastic! 3:24 was probably my favorite part cause of how brutal it is, and how the spartan grabbed the grenade and stuck in the elite's mouth, that whole scene was great, this whole stop motion was great, good job man

[@AndrewCoffmanAnimation]

NDKfilms thanks man! Yeah that was partly the guy who voiced him, dafter things. He suggested making the scene as brutal as i could make it. I used the old school figures in this one to give it a classic look and feel like some of the OG animatiors work from back at the start of the 2010’s

[@rushingriverfilms]

Very nice! The grunt losing its arm was very creative, and the effects in this were beautiful as always. Great job with this Andrew, I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@AndrewCoffmanAnimation]

[@thatoneguywhouploads]

Wow dude, that was NICE! Can we get a part 2!?

[@AndrewCoffmanAnimation]

Well they all died so it’d have to be a new cast of characters but other than that I don’t see why not

[@edecylpmis4206]

[@AndrewCoffmanAnimation]

Shao Khan this one was supposed be like a classic from when mega first started making halo sets. I remember seeing some old videos by w2dern and matacom and a few others and it inspired me to make ones of my own, so I used the old classic figures

Wait, what happened to the other green spartan? There were two of them and only one died

[@AndrewCoffmanAnimation]

The CQB’s Essay He ran out of ammo
