Skirmish On Zeta Halo - A Halo Mega Construx Stop Motion Film

When a scouting patrol encounters a stranded banished force, things get messy in a hurry. Thank you all so much for watching! It has almost been two years since I have done a Halo Mega Construx/Mega Bloks stop motion, and I am so happy to be back. I hope you all enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making it! Until next time.

Great work man! I really respect your use of the new marines since they’re so much more challenging to use. Your sets are beautifully detailed and made. Absolutely fantastic use of angles and Camara movements. The audio was simple yet detailed and the animation was smooth! Great practical and visual effects also! Amazing work

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thank you man! I really appreciate the support :)

[@rebeccawyatt3909]

Hey Rapid, thank you for showing me this incredible work from Stinger. I was very impressed by the cleverness of the writing. From the marine using his helmet as a distraction, to the Suttle hint of the ghost breaking down before is amazing.

[@RapidActionAnimations]

@@Stinger11Studios btw I have you a shoutout in my community tab! Love to post about cool animations in the community!

[@produumovuux2622]

why are the new marines challenging to use? Did they change up the articulation?

[@Stinger11Studios]

@@produumovuux2622 their ankles have a joint so their entire feet move around easily causing unbalance, also, their chest plate isn’t very tight and moves around a lot while animating.

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Yeah! I love this Stinger! The set design is gorgeous and even if it wasn’t explored too heavily, I liked the dynamic characters, specifically between the grunt and elite. The fact that there was hardly any light flicker impressed me, as it’s hard to get rid of. Great first step back into animation after a long break Stinger. You really have some talent!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it. Glad to be back and thanks for motivating me to get this done. Luv u

[@FunvoltGunvolt]

2:29 I like how you even covered those bothersome holes that are on every figure with a removable helmet

[@jayk.74]

Great sense of action and comedy! I especially like the the helmet decoy used to fool the grunt, something familiar about that trick…can’t place it though. Glad to see you back at it!

Grunt: just call the engineer. Elite: I can fix it myself! 0:29

[@DafterThings]

Animation, sound and the camera work is excellent but, for me, it's the detail. The moving plant, the slow-mo, the head loll when the elite falls.

[@Stinger11Studios]

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man!

[@Cam4kstudios]

Great work! Easy to follow and a great set design! As a small critique the only thing that stood out to me that could be improved was in the begining when it showed a close up of the Marines riding on the mongoose you could see shadows of texture on the wall that didn't move so it kind of took out some emersion of the effect that there moving fast... Easy fix just shine a light on the wall to make it look over cast or have a sky board you move 🙌 excellent effects and movement! I liked the slow motion and the subtle details such as the moving plants from the mongoose speeding by and the way the grunt died! Also you did excellent at showing the weight of the elite when it fell! Great job!!!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man! That’s a great tip I never would have thought of that. Thanks again for the feedback
