Seeing two Stop-Motion legends comment on each other's work is like that meme with the two super buff dudes shaking hands! Good to see you over here, Jordan, you both are killing it!

[@xenon8927]

Y'know, the first time I saw the "Rules of Nature!" scene in MGR I was genuinely blown away, and this is the first time I've seen that experience re-created. Watching this tiny blade pin a giant demon to a rock is outstanding.

[@ism_s_25]

That was absolutely amazing! The fact that the entire thing was in one continuous shot was not only extremely impressive, but a genius stylistic choice. The lighting and effects were also great, and the movements felt so realistic you could barely even tell it was stop motion. Overall a phenomenal video, and the best stop motion I’ve seen so far this year. Keep up the amazing work!

[@mootroidXproductions]

holy crap dude thank you so much for the kind words

[@ism_s_25]

@@mootroidXproductions No problem man, you deserve it

[@nicholasdellipaoli226]

I feel like most halo fans are simultaneously bionicle fans. It’s like you can’t love one without loving the other, me included lmaooo

[@AlfredSoul]

The lighting and lighting effects were really great. The muzzle flashes and the fire and laser thus looked quite convincing.

[@WarPoet-In-Training]

I'm my humble opinion, it is the practical effects that make this so gorgeous. The muzzle flashes, the crumbling rocks, the dismemberment of various bionicle monster parts. Dude. You've outdone yourself. I can only hope to get to your level of animation skill someday.

[@mootroidXproductions]

thank you SO much, dude, i genuinely appreciate the kind words

[@ArcstoneBionicle]

Killer. The movement of the characters and the camera give the scene so much energy, and the stark lighting creates an incredible atmosphere. And of course, Red Sun Over Paradise automatically enhances anything it's in.

[@almondmaster4586]

Thank you for the girl warning, I wasn't prepared

[@MoltenAnimation]

This is too good. How dare this man create another masterpiece! How dare he be one of the best stop motion channels to exist! I love how one of the warnings at the start is “A WOMAN”.

[@mootroidXproductions]

thank you so much man gamers do tend to get angry when women

[@MoltenAnimation]

@@mootroidXproductions Gamers get infuriated when woman because they probably don’t don’t understand woman. I would know… those were… the dark times..

[@Mr_Crustier]

Nah this is too good. The movements were insanely smooth, the VFX was incredibly done and the SFX was superb. Great job Mootroid!

[@WumboMing]

The battle against the dinosaur creature really reminded me of Kai vs Lord Garmadon when Kai is trying to get the sword of fire in that cave. Looked like the Spartan was fighting a shadow

[@skiesquiggles7319]

The lighting in this piece is INSANE!!! I have no idea how you did it but you did an incredible job

[@mootroidXproductions]

Thank you so much! I had a light behind the paper background, and a blacklight on the foreground!

[@everyman1983]

That robot arm machine gun looked so good! Amazing work as always

[@uziwoo]

that was so cool

[@thearbiter2366]

This was by far one of the most unique stop motions I’ve seen the almost 2D silhouette style was really something to behold. And of course the animation itself was incredible and the bits of muzzle flashes to have occasional lit shots was such a nice touch. You never cease to amaze me with these 👌👌

[@DafterThings]

So good. Loved the choice of colour and lighting with the semi-silhouette. Silky smooth and loved the escalation to the 'boss' fight. Nice touch at the end especially as it also works so well for the credits.

[@ghostsintrenchcoats5278]

I love the way you did the credits it's so smart!!!!!

[@portal6884]

I was about to say that this is basically Samus, but then you included her awesome scream. Great video, one of my favorites now!

[@eziotheassassin701]

If Bionicle ever comesback, you sir have qualified yourself as the ambassador for the series. Stop Motion Animation is just part of Bionicle Culture. Great Work !

[@NeroLucifarious]

*hears rules of nature kick in* STOP THAT CLAW. YES YESS SPLIT IT WIDE OPEN!!

[@jewelscoop3570]

I REALLY enjoyed how you choreographed the scene with the back mounted turret Spartan fight, you recognized the limited range of motion around the enemy spartan to make main guy to be in line of sight, and structured the fight over the main spartan’s struggle to be in close quarters

[@mootroidXproductions]

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING

[@andrijaanelic2483]

It's a cool thing how the lighting changes when the monster appears. It was mainly blue/purple lighting for the first half, but as we get to the monster fight, it fades a little, leaving the silhouette of the monster and main character, with the other lighting being the gunshots and the blasts from the monster, with the previous blue lighting being a little apparent as well. Not sure if that type of change of lighting was intentional, but I think it was neat.

[@mootroidXproductions]

100% intentional, thank you so much for noticing

[@ARandomWeirdAnimator]

There’s just something about that sword fight, that just so fluid and smooth yet so impactful. and using a black light for that glow without the light being too bright and ruining the silhouette style is absolutely genius! And that final fight with the big bad bionicle dude is just, how do you have the patience for that? Overall just an amazing style and concept for a fight scene and definitely some of your best work!

[@jolt5644]

The blood on this project is impressive. And in 4 minutes, amazing!

[@rewindproductions7261]

I love the silhouette style to this, how the characters are lit by the muzzle flashes, fire. The music was also beautifully mixed. Great work!

[@thataintfalco7106]

Great music choice, Red Sun is a banger, and an excellent use of rules of nature, with the words only really popping up when Spartan Shift starts to really rip apart the mech

[@LakeParkerYT]

Woah :O the poses and silhouettes were so readable, the movement so fluid, the action and choreography so inspired with such great and memorable beats, and the in-camera lighting was so meticulous and creative! I loved the escalation throughout the whole video, and every beat during the Fenrakk Kaiju fight! Especially the claw reveal taking me back to 3D action platformer boss fights like in Ben 10: Protector of Earth or the Force Unleashed 2. And of course the Godzilla styled laser breath build up sound! Some of your best work Charlie, loved every second of it! Another instant classic in the bag, keep it up, King 👑

[@tylerjordan557]

Your stop motions never cease to amaze me. I loved the lighting and the simulated blood was a nice touch. I'm definitely gonna rewatch this a bunch.

[@purplehaze2358]

I love that this video used the Sundowner theme. I greatly appreciate that choice of music.

[@monochrome_soft9472]

the flow of all your movements and sense of weight everything has is incredible.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Awesome! Overall just a really interesting and unique theme as well as color scheme. I especially enjoyed the ending where the paper rips, that was a fantastic practical effect. Camera work was also superb especially the fluidity of the zooms in and out of the action. I loved how much effort went into the fight versus the bionicle monster, having the figure climb up inside the mouth was something I never would expect. The detail of the terrain falling off or being used as a shield was also a really cool concept. Great stuff per usual.

[@mootroidXproductions]

Thank you! I took some inspiration from Metroid for the mouth-shooting scene for sure! Glad you liked the camera work!

[@telamonlikealex1114]

Now that’s a hand to hand combat I like to see, nice job. 👍

[@tecnor13]

The songs fit perfectly, especially "rules of nature" when he fights the dragon. This is a real masterpiece!

[@DavisGrumble]

Thank you for the warning, Mootroid! That woman would have REALLY caught me off guard had you not said anything. This is why you're one of the best animators out there!!

[@bluebrick2.02]

Dude this animation is sick,because I never thought there would be a halo vs bionicle game,but to add to that metal gear solid music is playing. The smoothness of this animation also makes me excite for the last colony part 3 so keep up the great work!

[@M4teo.]

It was amazing! Defenitely worth the wait

[@nickbits-ii8my]

That's one of the best bionicle mocs I've ever seen in stopmotion.

[@tiernanmcculloch]

Wow this is incredible. The style is so potent, and that classic weight and fluidity that is in all your animations is at its peak here. I really love how in structure it feels like a level to a side scroller, especially the way the "boss" at the mid-point is introduced, it is very clear you draw your influences from Metroid and obviously MGRR, but they are also subtle enough nods to the franchises that they act more as homage than just straight up fanservice to them. Really enjoyed this, thanks for making it, I am going to proceed to show this to everyone I know now. Sidenote, the way that hand comes apart at 2:14 is beautiful, loved the choice to make the monster out of a mix of Bionicle and Lego pieces.

[@xonty5227]

I love the background lighting and even the end "boss fight"

[@jorismilleret]

I swear to God, that's the best (wo)man vs army I've seen from months ! That's, maybe, the ultimate stopmotion.

[@hollowsteel]

All of the Samus hurt sound effects are giving me traumatic flashbacks lmao! I loved the silhouette style animation, it definitely makes the lighting effects stand out way more!

[@blue-vr8dd]

I'd love to see a 'behind the scenes'/'in the making' of this, after the last one I've become so much more interesting in seeing how these works are done. the inspiration, the skills and techniques, etc etc. brilliant stuff as always.

[@honeyb4dger115]

Bad Ass. I really loved the weight of things, everything felt real movement-wise. The mounted turret on that character especially felt so heavy when it spun and such. Can't wait for your next project this turned out amazing!

[@epicbiohacks1495]

This is the cleanest and most beautiful stopmotion I have every layer eyes upon. Man growing up I loved both bionicle and halo megabloks this is the best thing I have every seen. Thank you also I love the metal gear rising ost

[@honeybee6953]

Holy Gadunka!!! absolutely insane work. that initial transition from the shield to the sword gave me chills. I love how you sold the weight of the combat while still keeping things fluid. Oh and the practical lighting effects?!?!? What?!?!? so baller. The final metroid-inspired boss fight was so cool!!! nobody's doing it like you

[@osir1s172]

I don't know what's more impressive- the fluidity of the characters or the camera

[@ActionJacksonVideos]

God this takes the concept of art styles from games like Limbo and Inside (the latter to a lesser extent) and ramps it up to infinity. I love the choice to present it as a 2.5D sidescroller with some 3D interaction in cutscene-y moments. It's genius, and the Metroid vibes aren't lost. Great stuff, Charlie!

[@howawlyfalloookenhool7495]

Man this was such a blast to watch. That red backdrop really tied the scene together, too.

[@eggbuh]

The ideas in these animations is already great but the execution is even greater, seriously great job and the metal gear rising music is awesome too 👍

[@ghostsintrenchcoats5278]

This is so cool! And the red is such a pretty color and the design of it all is perfect! Excellent work!

[@christinecho7354]

I NEVER NOTICED THAT SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM RED SUN TO RULES OF NATURE

[@broken-bones-j8u]

im pretty sure that he sprinkled in an big amount of stuff that are not halo, and i love it, im guessing that he took those from bionicles (the inspiration) cuz if he came up with those, he has some crazy imagination, and the animation itself? Perfect, really hope to see more of this coming out soon.

[@Gavinzilla1000]

Man I don’t know if there’s much to say that my buddy Ism_s hasn’t said about this, the kaiju fight was absolutely gorgeous with the destroyah sound effects added with it! You nailed this and all the choreography is just insane, the subtle blood vfx are also a nice touch. You are definitely one of my biggest inspirations currently!!!

[@CactusCowboyDan]

Me after watching Banished Prototype: "Can Mootroid possibly show off anymore than this?" After watching Red Gauntlet: "I guess so..." Good job!

[@mootroidXproductions]

Thank you so much! I hope I'll keep upping the ante!

[@jasterslegacy2607]

Goddamn I'm awestruck as usual! The combat and camera moves are impeccable, dude! I really loved the almost side-scroller style + the stylistic lighting you went with this time. This is super inspirational Charlie, thanks for posting!

[@darkseidiss3npai251]

My God this is perfect. And the fact that this is all one shOT blows my mind. I NEED MORE

[@dogasaurus_rex]

Wow man this is definitely one of the best stop motions I’ve ever seen, I absolutely love the fact that it’s all one continuous shot, I don’t even know how you did that. I would definitely not be able to do that! Also I loved all the movements, everything is extremely smooth and realistic, you got the easing down perfectly!!! I also love the bullet effects, nice how they light up the stuff around it. And the monster was insane at the end, I can’t believe you even animated something that huge! So overall this is one of the absolute best stop motions I’ve seen in my entire life 😎

[@PilotTails]

rules of nature + "screams from woman too angry to die"? Yep that checks out. Seriously though great job! Love the use of practical effects and minimal composition

[@mootroidXproductions]

Thank you so much! Glad you recognized that cathartic scream!

[@Weasel_dud]

[@OddityStudios]

THIS. . . . . IS PURE GOLD! The lighting, the SFX, the VFX, all astronomically great. And as far as the animation goes, TOTAL EYE CANDY! The movements are so realistic. In my opinion, this is one of your greatest stop motions so far. And so, This is just another reason why you are one of my greatest animator inspirations!

[@ProperlySavage]

This might be the first time I've ever seen stop motion fights truly nail the same feeling achieved by stick fights.

[@vishuda19]

I love how the rules of nature lyrics kick in when shift is being cool.

[@zillamotionfilms]

Wow man, every video you just get better and better! The movements on the figures were so fluid that it looks more like an animation than a stop motion, and I really liked the camera movements, the lighting, and the effects that you put into this video. Also, the fact that you made all of this in one shot is just insane, I am so amazed on how you make your stop motions. This was a very great stop motion to watch, everything was just amazing, 10/10 for sure! Keep up the great work bro :)

[@darkreflection9087]

2:11 excellent song choice Edit Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is always a great song choice

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Everything about this is absolutely astronomically stellar. Things such as the evolution of the enemies getting bigger, smarter and better armed to the fact that this was a ‘one shot take’ fight scene which would have been a pain to make considering the length and complexity. The lighting was beautiful and unique with a almost neon/silhouette like feel towards it. The vfx were well done and blended pretty well except for one instance at the start. The fight choreography was unique, fresh and contemporary with a lot of cool quirks to it such as the back mounted machine gun or the drop kicks/slide kicks. The 2D horizontal feel to the Camara is also a very unique and unseen style that is quite nice and effective. The animation itself was beautiful with good pacing that was not too fast or too slow with impact on each punch and a nod of respect to the animation principals (great ease in ease out, follow through, squash and stretch, weight, anticipation etc...). The music complemented and glued the whole ordeal well by providing a way to show the progression of the video subconsciencely to viewers through audio. Overall this was a very cool and different mega construx animation that I’m sure will inspire me and many others to practice and implement hand to hand combat more often. Great work.
