Takua's Once In A Lifetime

[@ids5621]

This feels otherworldly in the best way. The cg really tricks your eyes into thinking its stop motion. Really well done

[@mushroom4466]

I kinda feel like it is stop-motion, mostly because of all the static-y green screen interference on the edges.

[@KamiPyro]

@@mushroom4466 plastic dont bend like that

[@CyberSandbox]

@@mushroom4466that's added deliberately to mimic the Talking Heads music video

[@Kids_Scissors]

The fake green screen too and the vhs tracking ripples its perfect Recreates the video perfectly and it looks good as it is

[@idaholana]

I think you did absolutely fantastic if not a Mona Lisa painting on the lighting it mostly where I gotta give credit to

[@RedBonkleMan8534]

My favorite single from The Kohli Heads

[@Kids_Scissors]

I love how the animation simultaneously looks like stop motion and the animation in those old Bionicle flash games

[@DorkPhoenix64]

And you may ask yourself, where is that beautiful mask? And you may ask yourself, where does that tunnel lead to? And you may ask yourself, am I right? Am I wrong? And you may say to yourself, Mata Nui, what have I done? Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. And here the Bohrok come, here comes the Bohrok.

[@JettKuso]

I can't BELIEVE how good this is. It'd be the dumbest idea ever without perfect lyrics, animation, and the friggin SONG!!! And just how stunningly it recreates the look of the original... Perfect video, no notes.

[@supermontyleader]

Hey jettkuso nice to see you here

[@The_sniper1954]

Wait a minute?

[@E4439Qv5]

"All this... just to discover who I am?"

[@Darksaber1137]

I really like the Animation in this. The models look like exact replicas of their LEGO counterparts and move almost identically to their MNOG versions. Plus the little references like how Takua's mask is loose and him being harassed by the Vaki. Really like this.

[@Onewa]

What a masterpiece! The movements were so fluid and exactly like what you'd see in MNOG. Very creative, unique, and having that "Le-Koro Band" tune playing in the background made it so nostalgic.

[@Spootprime]

Omg its Lego Bionicle set 8542 Turaga Onewa released in 2001 containing 30 pieces

[@evgenyransky3545]

First it was the red eyes that spoke to you in the dark, now this. Oh Takua, I warned you not to touch those strange glowing plants...

[@tjsase]

Takua's had so much cranial trauma; did he actually go to other dimensions or was that another "trip"?

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

Another Hafu original!

[@joe_kloos8512]

This is the most beautiful fever dream I've ever experienced.

[@ethandoesathing2711]

This video feels like it was meant to come out around 2006-7 and i am ALL HERE for these vibes, great job dude

[@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo]

Takua is an anime protagonjst

[@rebeccalinton7500]

David Byrne wishes he could. Truly epic 💯

[@quantumblur_3145]

David Byrne did and has

[@CullenCraft]

The quality.... It's too much!!!! HOW DID I GET HERE

[@projectamis4772]

Mata Nui has spoken.

[@Miru_Man]

All I see in this video is perfection

[@josephmontanaro2350]

I love how it mashes up samples of the in game music as well as the original song, classic

[@VainerCactus0]

This is really really well made. Funny to see Jaller and the guards doing Gangnam style lol.

[@ZimtikiBar]

Damn. Another Hafu original.

[@HogandDice]

I've lost my grasp on reality

[@TopengProductions]

The way it feels both like stop motion and 3d is amazing and while real motion animation is somewhat common in lego animation I've never seen it done as good as here. The way you capture just the way that the characters, specifically the matoran, move and emote seems so animation like and in character to the way these figures are animated in other mediums. This video looks way better than it has any conceivable right to look thank you so much for making it.

[@tjsase]

Thanks! I made the larger movements more fluid, as if someone were filming the toys but moving them below the screen, since I've seen both techniques done together.

[@shaynehughes6645]

It even has the failing chroma. Simply brilliant.

[@strandedgeek]

Directed by Hafu. ...I see what you did there.

[@the_real_Luke_skadoosh]

Gentleman, we have found the perfect video right here. The video was just so *chef's kiss* perfect!

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

Was tryna figure out the connection between Talking Heads and Bionicle but then I realized it's just autism

[@aleclinton9734]

IDK WTF this is, but I'm 100% here for it.

[@toafellha8130]

I'm mesmerized by the movement especially the Takanuva parts, plus nice subtle use of eye expression 1:42. Can we expect more of this?

[@tjsase]

Thank you! That depends if another good idea hits me

[@spade8094]

100th like

[@OmegaCorsair]

Literally Unreal

[@jamesmcdonough8952]

i dont know why but i am just mesmerized by this song

[@Pixelatedude6]

Over and over two completely unrelated interests of mine have beautifully executed crossovers- well done!

[@BrendaSantiago1530]

144p is the best way to watch the video the cgi makes it look a stop motion

[@williamlandis1134]

This is incredible. Amazing work!

[@Levitz9]

I just about died when I saw that you figured out how to make Takua do David Byrne's "Same as it ever was!" arm-thing XD

[@Essenger]

this is so underrated

[@davidlaush180]

Incredible work.

[@ahejka97]

That's my best friend. We both really like Bionicle! Grew up with it yk

[@NooceneSounds]

Unbelievable. I'm really pleased you made this for me.

[@DBionicProductions]

i dont care that i am a year late, THIS IS GOLD!

[@BovineDesigns]

Your weird ideas are god tier.

[@MiniMatthias]

this is unbelievably well done i love it so much.

[@HexadecimalMantis]

Waiting for the Bionicle Listening Wind cover

[@WyomingUnreal]

Why does this feel so nostalgic?

[@stryker5055]

This feels like it should have been uploaded in 2006

[@pikminjake]

WHY IS THIS PERFECT

[@bioshock3d-]

I need more of this. I was legit questioning if it was Stop Motion until I saw the Metrutoran limbs straighten out

[@mango9087]

GODDAM BOSS good work.

[@dirkdoogenstein]

This is beautiful

[@AWSOMEPOSSUM16]

Dude 11 year old me would've watched this 20 times a day

[@mercadier6312]

Oh my god, this is stunningly high-quality.

[@MiloTimberlake]

So amazing

[@jordantakahiro5481]

I never realized how cute the matoran were until now.

[@iamthestormthatisapproaching69]

This feels like a fever dream

[@clyde9855]

I spent like 30 seconds trying to figure out how you got the matoran arms to bend like that until realizing...

[@ils4844]
