Micro Wars: The Movie

[@BlackStarInitiative]

All eight episodes in one big movie. I hope you've all enjoyed the journey as much as I have. See you in Season 2.

[@pyeitme508]

Congrats 👏😊

[@Goodtypeoffbocchi]

100% will be seeing me in season 2

[@mbkallday11]

I needed this

[@dannyengineer9862]

Most of us will.

[@captanagaming1727]

amazing job keep up the good work also what models did you use for these videos i want to collect some of the vehicles so it would make it 100 times esier to know what im looking for exactly XD

[@hi-techredneck7069]

I'm a Combat Desert Storm Veteran ( U.S Army Infantryman on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle) and I approve this movie! BRAVO!❤

[@One_Soldier64127]

thank you for your service sir

[@Saukingalpha]

There you go... your project is 'Combat Approved' 👍

[@yamiroro5969]

[@Relatable_444]

Thanks for your service

[@Kolinskiis]

Actually had my multimedia teacher show my class this for our filmmaking assessment as a basis, safe to say all 17 of us LOVED this, it's a bloody masterpiece

[@maxencebaudoin7889]

You teacher is the original goat

[@Mistah_Boombastic_BiggieCheese]

Nobody skipped class those days he played this movie

[@markbeards4441]

Kid: “Dad. Do you want to play?” Dad: “ Not just at the moment son, I’m filming.” Kid: “ Dad. Where’s my army men?” Dad: ????????. It was great to see it all together. 👍

[@Gunstar1986]

Yup 25 years ago this was what i saw in my backyard. Thank you for this epic saga!

[@Marshall1q.]

This is what 6-year-old me was imagining while playing with minifigures

[@xeroabyss9597]

30+ years ago, but the same 👍🏼

[@General_Belu]

Yes and no. Humans would need to figure out how such technology works and how to operate it. It’s not as simple as reverse engineering. There could be mechanisms, elements and elements unknown to us. It would have to go through rigorous testing and experimentation as well, before being ready for human use.

[@thenukeanims]

​@@General_Beluour weapons is more powerful than theirs though, Bet they cant reverse engineer our Nuclear weapons since its too powerful to be held by those saurians

[@saquibkhan6800]

​@@thenukeanimsyou are right

[@schlieffenman957]

The voice acting, music, sound effects, editing - it's absolutely marvelous. This is genuinely better than some movies I've seen! Also, like everyone else is saying, I appreciate how you didn't even try to adapt the boxes or your house and backyard into something that looks like a warzone, but instead just excepted it as the environment for the film. It's truly genius and it's not even distracting. I love this video and this channel, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

[@Sergeantlumi]

How did he even add the dust effects. It looks to realistic to be true. Jeeze.

[@lpg12338]

This is better then the trash that is playing at the movies. Keep up the great work!!!

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Thanks mate

[@Epsilon-18]

That Apache rescue at "The Invasion" man... Too powerful, no matter how cliche.

[@bored7984]

I honestly never thought that I would see something like this, but when I saw the first Micro wars video, I knew I would love it

[@russward2612]

Stop motion animation that Ray Harryhausen would enjoy. A mind boggling amount of time and effort went into making this. Well done.

[@Noobnader]

This is the best stop-action I have seen. Amazing explosions! Whatever work you put into this, all was worth it. A template for all to go by.

[@Mistah_Boombastic_BiggieCheese]

The visual effects are absolutely amazing. The tracers look very realistic. This is a movie to play in a dark room on your big tv with KZbin, drinks and snacks

[@henrykkeszenowicz4664]

This stop motion film with miniatures is more realistic than most of the Hollywood alien invasion films when it comes to depicting modern warfare accurately, and I enjoy every second of it.

[@sam8404]

I know people say this all the time but you really deserve a lot more views and subs than you currently have. I can tell you put a ton of effort into this, it is very much appreciated!

[@BlackStarInitiative]

125,000 is more than I ever dreamed of

[@phantombonnie9298]

If the humans are salvaging alien technology, then we could see some cool futuristic weapons being deployed in a sequel.

[@trainenthusiast5199]

AH yiss

[@nolanhines7251]

Heil Hydra!

[@Squirl513]

I want to hit like on this comment but you're at the magic number. 😀

[@Goodtypeoffbocchi]

Id like to imagine drop bear and the other special forces are Australian, who else has the balls to sneak into a overgrown lizzards base with a British accent

[@feeltheneed6649]

and here i thought they are Russians and SAS soldiers who entered

[@mattscott8961]

Fantastic! Seeing it all flow together...I do love the 'pullback' shots - this massive ordeal going on, turns into these little pops and crackles!!! Effects and storytelling just getting better!

[@monumentstosuffering2995]

Easily as exiting and enthralling as any action film I have seen. The use of your floor with no attempt to hide the incongruous full scale objects is what makes this wonderful. The background is irrelevant compared to the superbly crafted action. Magnificent work.

[@Chef_PC]

This is what it felt like playing with GI Joe figures in my head as a kid.

[@Johndoe10387]

Man, this was legitimately one of the most well-produced films of any type on KZbin. I feel bad watching this for free, it's that good. Bravo, you absolutely KILLED this.

[@ernestyoung5516]

Hats off to you mate, what a production! When I was a kid back in the early 2000s, I did something similar at a very basic level. Using cheap green army men and a few toy trucks and rocket launcher, I took around 300 photos and made 3-4 gifs depicting setting up a SAM site and launching a missile. Also switched the figures around to make them crouch and run, and used a lot of tissues to create “smoke”. It took me forever but it was so much fun. Seeing this mind blowing piece that is completely on another level brought back so much great memory; and quite literally seeing a childhood dream not only come true, but in a way that is a million times better. Thank you! Cheers to the Aussie accent, with the color scheme of some of these minis I thought you were using the Empress aussie line. The combat scene and the plots are hardcore and top notch, definitely better than a lot of movies out there. The typical backyard, mesh doors, orange sky, and woolie’s tissue box in the back drop made the whole thing so relatable and even more epic. Love the idea too, glad to see different human factions come together, what a breeze of fresh air. As a Chinese ethnic, I also appreciate the Chinese minis playing a part in it. If you need to, I am happy to do some Chinese dub haha. Again, massive respect to your effort mate, and thanks for such a entertainment masterpiece.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Thanks for the wonderful comment

[@jonhharleyplandez5125]

The First Battle of the Backyard is one of my fave, it gives me chills. Especially this part 38:46 the background music fits well.. Well done!

[@winghungyuen2726]

This is an amazing series. I can’t wait to see what you got up your sleeve for Season 2.

[@spyderseven7982]

This is a masterpiece! I'm glad you finally put it all together into one movie. Been waiting a while hoping for season 2. Was losing hope! Can't wait to see more!!! Thanks for all your hard work. :)

[@jayyyymorris]

Adult Me: *Leaves for work My old Army Men Toy Box:

[@joseignaciovivas4372]

Terrific. It’s a dramatisation that reminds my child games at home (based on WWII) as well one personal episode where we were toughly playing rugby at the beach and suddenly a relatively big wave smashed us hard sweeping both teams as autumn leaves, unexpectedly. All was a mesh, total caos under the water rolling upside down. Good script, good scenery, etc. Well done.

[@charlesivan9247]

Love it! also putting them all together just really felt like I'm in the movies

[@AFK_invictus]

One of the best stopmotions I’ve seen in a looong time. Keep it up! I’m really looking forward to the next micro wars!

[@marketablepresentations7824]

Just as I've always said. If we ever had an alien invasion the fighting between humanity would be over. Completely believe that this is what's needed.

[@dany.infox.1010]

I think that it should not be necessary for aliens (demons) to invade us and for the entire human civilization to be at risk (Of extinction) so that we stop fighting among ourselves with unnecessary wars, also those alien-demons are unfortunately physically stronger than us ; How could we solve it? (We need more advanced technology)

[@DEFC0NZER0]

Only temporarily. Us humans never change. Even after an alien war, we'll have peace for a while, but then go back to what humans do best; shooting each other in the face.

[@fredhercmaricaubang1883]

BEAUTIFUL! Simply BEAUTIFUL! Once I forget they're just toys, it's not so different from watching a war movie like "Blackhawk Down"! Simply BEAUTIFUL! ENCORE! MORE! MORE!

[@kelvaris1]

"Boom, headsot." Is one of the best scenes of any movie, ever. I laughed so hard.

[@ethenplayz3100]

Yep

[@DragonMaster360]

"Snoipin's a good job mate"

[@mefujiyt1542]

[@laynelg8762]

This is unironically better than most of the alien invasion movies I've seen you deserve some kind of award.

[@gavinsepicgaming9835]

The stop motion is great, the voice acting is great, the editing and effects are great, the fighting and the overall story were great, this is an amazing series, 100% deserves more views and subscribers. Can't wait to see more episodes!

[@thecircleoft.e.d2121]

My God, that was amazing! Glad that was recommended to me; truly great work in making that so immersive.

[@MNCDover]

Awesome series! Great to see it all in one long movie. Happy I could be a part of it. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

[@FinderGamer5]

This takes the definition of what kids see to a new level

I love how two hostile countries can unite against a more dangerous foe.

47:43 This tiny detail of his hands moving shows the dedication of this production team. Bravo!

[@wherever_is_bad]

when they said "yeah , that our job" and the music come hit me hard❤❤

[@EmanuelAdenuga]

Wow this was actually a masterpiece and a great KZbin mini movie, exceeded my expectations. It’s fitting together, the voice, music, effect and explosion was bombastic and each frame crackled with horrific and masterfully crafted death and destruction. Beautiful movie

[@charlenetweaver2557]

That was one of the greatest stop motion movies I’ve ever watched, incredible work

[@ferallion3546]

This is really cool. Love the sound design. As a wargamer and vet this is what we see in our imaginations when we're gaming in simulation. Well done.

[@kinggojidorah]

As someone who’s been around all of these vehicles for a long time, you got their sounds perfect. The little details make this so much more in depth.

[@dannyengineer9862]

Nice to see the episodes in one video, probably will fix up any confusion about the story.

[@Jacensbattlegrounds]

Huge fan of your work, always look forward to your videos!

[@bpsitrep]

I've caught bits and pieces over the years, really cool to be able to watch your whole work in one setting. Well done !!! Great call signs and script.

[@glennwhittaker197]

AWESOMENESS 😃 I’ve seen all as individual clips, great full movie 🎥 Your special fx are better than some billion dollar movies 😂

[@EmperorJosephII60]

Let’s goo, can’t wait to see this amazing piece of animation

[@Mattsyoutubetv]

I stumbled upon this and I must say I truly enjoyed this very much and I am hooked now. I have an idea I'd love to become reality if interested. I've always wanted to see special forces group like Delta or seals go back in time to fight with the confederacy against the union, to see how the world would be after a victory. I loved your attention to detail. One of my favorite parts is when the sniper got the head shot and the other guy shot the javelin! Good job!

[@cxenakis300]

Absolutely Fantastic! You have done what I have wanted to do for years! Bravo. This was inspirational. I look forward to more.

[@alphachad4631]

When I was 8 my brothers and sisters found a old row boat in the Murray and brang it home for my birthday, turned it into a sand pit, and all I can say when i played with my army men this is how it was in my head haha, great work mate from SA 👌

[@tonnytn3094]

That is one Great Master Piece! Really cool video. Much better than modern Hollywood movies! Excellent job!

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

fantastic! the vehicles, special effects, tactics, soundtrack, props, all very convincing! only the environment suffers, but even so, it s still has it s charm. bravo!

[@mixtape9123]

By far my favorite is the CAS call in for the First Backyard Battle, the music made my skin get goosebumps, let alone the feeling of nostalgia that felt like I was watching transformers all over again seeing the CAS strike, the radio comms hit different too and just feels like you were a prior service member, can't stop watching it let alone this movie. Excellent work!

[@BlackStarInitiative]

I did not serve but I did try to make the dialogue accurate

[@matthewkurniawan4081]

I love the transition from ww3 to humanity alien warfare

[@MrSolidshot85]

You do amazing work! this was very well done and thought out! much love from this 11B Combat Vet!

[@AAX1975]

Absolutely incredible work! Thanks so much for the effort. I had watched a few individual episodes before but not the whole thing. Brilliant!

[@spartan_zero_1829]

This one is awesome. It's a full scale war in just 1 and half hours. Sounds are amazing. nice job. Good luck guys. We need more of this 😍😘

Wish I could watch this in an actual movie theatre. Great works.

[@centuriontwofivezeroone2794]

This an outstanding piece of work, great storyline, fantastic editing, I've loved watching each episode but spliced together as a full length movie it was truly amazing, inspiring work, please keep them rolling.... Time to take the fight to them! Hope this work gets you noticed, good luck.

[@theautoguy96]

Best stop motion I've seen. Story was a 10/10. Dialog I give an 8/10. Camera and CGI are 10/10.

Welcome to another episode of "channel that I used to watch 10 years ago and randomly popped up in my recommended"

[@cadenwhiting1882]

In that scene where the two forces join arms they may be Foe they may be friend but we're all human in the end when the world needs it we should work together that scene almost made me cry when I thought about that

[@anguswatson5380]

Something i love about this movie is how realistic the effects are. Most effect layering on stop motion looks crummy and fake but this really hit the spot, congrats!!

[@jabalengelhard960]

Very enjoyable! Excellent job filming and voice overs/sound effects! Looking forward to season 2 =)
