All the areas of animations are perfection. Story telling, choreography and definitely the special effects. Oh and whoevers voice that was coming out of the radio at the end - he sounds like a cool dude.

[@StrangeStudiosYT]

You were at the end

[@McGuireMotionProductions]

Everything you said I agree with, however, (this is simply a minor nitpick it’s noting too serious) I feel like the dialogue was a bit rushed and not handled correctly, but with a couple of re-takes and attempts to get the characters motives better, this would’ve been perfect, but what they have already is noting short of incredible, it must’ve taken weeks for this to be made, and I think it’s awesome

[@JJTheSpartan_117]

Absolutely outstanding, as you can see, I'm a big fan of yours, and I'm using a lot of commas, but, you're...not Breath-taking, well, yes but you're Amazing!!! I just love MARINES and I see what you meant by this being a prequel to Quatari, big plot build up right there at the end with Rook. So here I grovel at your feet for your outstanding work, just outstanding Badlaxe, OUTSTANDING

It is really impressive how much quality content you manage to produce so regularly. What programme do you use for your VFX?

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

The GunMovieFX app

[@BrickflicksAcademy]

Badlaxe Animations wow you do all this with an app? Incredible

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

I also use the Videoshop app but that’s more for audio, music, and compiling videos together

[@NDKfilms]

Well that was fantastic, much has improved since the first part, particularly in animation and gore effects (especially those, they looked brutal), also loved how you showed both sides of the conflict, it helps give depth to the characters and story. Overall this was amazing!

[@scorchanimations9989]

Sooo good! The animation is the best part but the story and music implementation is really good as well.

Your scripts and story’s are phenomenal and so is the choice of music. Great sound design and superb animation and visual and green screen effects! This is one of the animations that inspired me to start animating in the first place so I just wanted to say thanks for getting me into this awesome hobby!!!!! Cheers man!

This is amazing dude, the story is amazing and on point your stop motions are so smooth. The sound effects are amazing the voices are good as you can here the dialogue clearly and it's amazing to see marines get appreciated as most stop motions use them for a high death counter. This is amazing and absolutely fantastic for inspiration for other stop motioners

Hey this is wonderful, sorry iv been kind of detached from the community lately and I'm going to start reconnecting with everyone I really like this, you have a really similar animation style to Clic in my opinion keep it up XD. something I really admire about your animations is you capture the same feel of older iconic animations that have kind of been lost overtime in the sea of youtube XD nice job

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Thanks! I’m glad you like my animation style :) That “old style” you referred to is an animation style I’ve tried replicating and I’m glad you noticed it!

[@ZeroGuts]

A grunt got a rocket to the face and a marine got 4 stickies on his chest👏👏👏👏loving the drama makes it more interesting 👍👍👍

[@JoeFilms5420]

Fantastic installment! The animation itself was incredibly smooth, and most of the music and dialogue was on-point. If I could make a suggestion, though, around the 10 minute mark, the Elite is slaughtering Marines while somewhat chill music plays. That said, other than that flaw it was amazing!

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Thanks :) I’ll keep that in mind

Hello

[@holden_7597]

These stop motions are incredible. The voice acting is a bit stunted. My only other problem is something I personally don’t like, the marines all look way too different. They always had a standard uniform, these all look completely different. The blood effects only serve to make the stop motion look visually disgusting. The characters are also extremely bland, Raymond is given either endless compliments or scathing remarks. It just doesn’t seem realistic. Overall these stop motions have a few issues(some of that is just me), but they are beautifully animated. Hope to see more.

Well. In terms of tips I can only think of some, for cqc fights if you need a figure in a certain position but their articulation won’t permit it you can take off the arm or whatever limb you need in order to get the position. Just make sure the camera can’t see it. I use shows, games and movies that I’ve seen for inspiration and certain effects.
