The Krana: Special Effects Breakdown

[@drewmatney887]

Great filmmaking. I would have never noticed the compositing layering. This is SO impressive!

[@minerman60101]

Small brain: "I need an army of Tahnoks, I'll just buy a few from the internet" Big brain: "I need an army of Tahnoks, I'll use one and composite him in a bunch of times"

[@TheBohrokMan]

Ha! Back in 2013 I was thinking "I just bought FXHome Composite Lab Pro and I'm gonna get my money's worth out of it"

[@TheBohrokMan]

I'm glad this was helpful! However, I wouldn't recommend doing as many effects as I did because it took longer for me to do post-production than it took to film the animation (almost every shot needed some rotoscoping, background replacement, or image stabilization in addition to the things I showed in the video).

[@TheBohrokMan]

Animating a Bohrok Va is a real pain because it's really hard to make them walk (their feet just pivot) or have them interact with things (their arms just swivel around). :P

[@Roncace]

at 00:51 how did you animate the bohrok va's arms without causing the the tray where the Krana sits to move?

[@robinanwaldt]

I just now realized Pohatu has Tahu‘s eyes.

[@BovineDesigns]

What an awesome film, stop motion is so cool!

[@joji6413]

Wow I thought you had a bunch of bohrok but wow great photo shop!👍🏻

[@jetraydude]

You are really good at this. Keep it up.

[@Aagerds]

Very awesome work, you have skill my friend!

[@TheHungarianMan]

Congratulation to your hard work! It was a great animation, and I let you know, that you did not wasted your time for this, because it ended up being a great, and funny animation!

[@TheBohrokMan]

What do you mean by a whole series? I was planning on doing tutorials of things like animation techniques, which software is good, and what gear is best.

[@Roncace]

Roncace Can that soldering stand that you used on the tahnok va hold up the Bohrok as well if you want to make it walk?

[@TheBohrokMan]

Roncace Absolutely, I use the soldering stand all the time for a lot of different things.

[@Roncace]

where do you usually attach it when trying to animate the figure

[@KodiakCaptures]

How did you make the soldering stand green? What spray paint did you use?

[@Aidex106]

you should do a whole series but I guess that would take time so nevermind

[@koopa_thefrog.9881]

Thanks! This was really, really usefull!

[@orange6297]

after watch this video I want to buy borok but it's too expensive now..:(

[@lightbulbsarehealthy]

Orange juice i found some for 14 dollars

[@PlasticToa]

the in-box ones on amazon are always super high priced, you can find them loose on ebay in good condition pretty cheaply

[@ids5621]

Wow, amazing!

[@cheesekimbap5703]

so you only had 1 tahnok right?

[@SeanBatemanblobord]

Who would buy multiple?

[@cheesekimbap5703]

Sean Bateman narcissists

[@rickleuce8025]

I have two Tahnok. One I got new, the other I got from a yard sale for $2. I have three Brown Bohrock for the same reason XD

[@stargazer1664]

me

[@altrizon3309]

What are the raw materials used to make them fly or jump?

[@TheBohrokMan]

I used "helping hands" to hold up any characters while flying or jumping, but it also works to use aluminum wire or anything else you have handy. Thanks for the question!

[@altrizon3309]

@@TheBohrokMan thank you, so where do I buy those and the green stuff covering them?

[@altrizon3309]

And what type of ‘helping hands’ are these?

[@TheBohrokMan]

@@altrizon3309 I don't remember exactly what kind of helping hands I used, but they are all pretty much the same. You can get them on amazon, ebay, or even in stores like Microcenter - here's one for example: amzn.to/3oG6QKR. If I remember correctly, the green stuff is just construction paper. Any kind of green paper should work well!

[@altrizon3309]

@@TheBohrokMan Thank you so much by the way!

[@Aidex106]

I know what you mean but its worth a shot :P
