Lego WW2: The Church of Warsaw - A Stop Motion Film

A member of the Polish resistance hides out in an old church during the early days of the Warsaw Uprising in August of 1944. What was once a place of gathering and peace has become an isolated ruin, used by the sniper to pick off unsuspecting German officers.
This video is a prologue to a much bigger project I will be working on over the winter break. As you could tell this is different from my other content. Here is an update on what is happening for those curious:
I have made the decision that I want to continue animating, but in order to be motivated to create the best videos I can, I want to animate what I feel like animating in the moment. Currently, I am really interested in creating lego ww2 stop motions. When I made one a few years back, I had a really enjoyable time and I have a lot of ideas I want to put to test. This doesn't mean I am quitting mega construx, it just means I am animating what I feel like. I am sure I will want to animate with mega again, I just want a break and feel more motivated to do this instead. That is why I am rebranding the channel to represent animation in general, not just mega. I hope you guys respect my decision and enjoy my new content regardless : )
Thanks for watching!

A prologue to a much larger project I will be working on over winter break. I know for returning viewers this content is different from the usual. Check the description for an update on the channel if you are curious and want to know more about the future of the channel. I hope you all enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it. Until next time! -Stinger

Really nice animation, nice blood when the officer got sniped!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you!

Bro I loved the cinematography of this. Very atmospheric and emersive. Only issue I have is the sound design, which, without headphones or earbuds sounds fine, but with them on, you can really hear where the audio files cut off or get interrupted. Pretty minor nitpick, but it was the only thing I could really think of. I just think the sound design could amplify your films

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man! Yeah it annoys me as well I was using headphones to try to make the audio immersive and directional but some of my clips are so tightly condensed with one another that I have to cut them off close because otherwise a new set of audio starts. If you have any advice let me know

[@arandomweirdanimator5664]

This is great, especially love the cinematography in the opening shots

[@Mr_Crustier]

Woah, that was amazing! I especially loved the lighting in the church. The sound effects were on point and the animation itself was incredibly smooth. Fantastic job!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you!

[@hollowsteel]

Another banger animation dude! I love it!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ToonBros]

Nice work! I can’t wait to see your big project!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you!

[@rushingriverfilms]

Loved the overall atmosphere of this animation, I'm excited for the full thing

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you!

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Great work man. Don’t feel pressured to use mega construx, do what you feel gives you joy and passion. This piece was really nicely made with good quality in every category. I loved the cinematography of having high contrast and nice warm colours (reminded me of Roger Deakins 1917 style). The audio was nicely done except for some cuts on the ambiance at the start which were a bit distracting. The set and angles really impressed me, you really conveyed the message of a big city through all the other video elements (ex: audio, Camara angles etc...). Keep it up!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you! Yeah I was trying to make the audio switch directions between the establishing shot and then the close up in the beginning but it ended up just sounding weird, ill definitely be looking to improve that for next time. Thanks!

Good to see you back Stinger (having said that you're posting more frequently than me :-) ) Love the sets and lighting. Sound design is good. No idea why but, at 00:30, I thought it might have been good to hear some birdsong. Really looking forward to this and more and completely agree with making what you feel you'd enjoy.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks for the support :)

[@MJOLNIR_studios]

Great job! I especially liked the lighting and sfx. It made for some really special atmosphere!

[@lotusstudios7450]

Really great u use to inspire me when I did stop motion

[@Stinger11Studios]

So glad to hear that!

[@gdbricks]

can you make a sequel to ww2: liberation? i very much enjoyed that.

[@danieldavidsonproductions4053]

Nicely done! The set design was really good, especially the main structure. Where did you source the German voice lines from?

[@Stinger11Studios]

COD video games haha

[@silvercypher8435]

Oj

[@animatorxstudios100]

Pretty good, but not enough animation for me to properly judge your ww2 stopmotions against JD brick productions I’d say that your definitely good at LEGO stopmotion

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you!

[@animatorxstudios100]

@@Stinger11Studios you deserve it!
