Thank you all for watching, I know this one was a little longer than usual! If you have any more questions, I also recently did an interview with Methodshop about my process, so they'll probably be answered in there! methodshop.com/pokemon-vs-godzilla-stop-motion/

Can you make a series on big hals junkyard pls. It gives me 9 vibes ( the movie is called " 9 " )

[@mootroidXproductions]

Ooh, I love 9, that one was a huge inspiration for Big Hal's Junkyard! I don't have many behind-the-scenes photos or videos, but I'll see if I have enough to put a video together!

Shin Godzilla is my favorite too thank you for realizing how good that film is

[@mootroidXproductions]

absolute kino, anno is a brilliant director

@@mootroidXproductions some call it boring due to all the political segments but I personally enjoy it, makes it feel more real and they don’t do the typical anime route making the USA military so incompetent and inferior to the JSDF

[@zorasmith4880]

The fact that you referenced FMA in your PowerPoint was a power move on your part.

[@KyodaiKino]

Seinfeld voice ya like Cowboy Bebop Really funny and informative, excellent BTS for an incredible video!

[@HowBizarreStudios]

"youtube hates animators" I feel that way too, but I would go further and say fiction or serialized storytelling. The youtube algorithm seems to be rigged for influencers and trending topics, but you really need to do some juggling with the thumbnails and descriptions and tags to make it appear in search if you don't. I actually found your video on reddit first.

[@chino1moreno]

Dudeee best behind the scenes ever, you are awesome

[@JurassicLion2049]

??? Why would Godzilla fans hate this? I love Godzilla and the video was so damn good.

[@perx7721]

Remember this video took 2 years to make

[@mootroidXproductions]

It was more over the course of two years, spread out between projects. I talked about it in more detail here: methodshop.com/pokemon-vs-godzilla-stop-motion/

Thank you for courting the muse with such persistence. Very good payoff, that piece. The music really fits the action and gives it a real old school nuanced humor. And I am a big G fan. You have done the monster no insult.

[@tiernanmcculloch]

Dude thank you for this video. I gotta agree on the Rebel T6, I did an animation with it, actually the one I have posted on my channel currently, but god damn is that thing hard to work with. Every time I would actually start getting somewhere, whoopsies! All out of battery. That entire animation was a very frustrating process as I didn't have anything connected to my camera to see the frames so essentially it was just guess work, based off slowly scrolling through the photos I had already taken, so the frame amount was very inconsistent. I really would love to do another stop motion soon, but I need to prepare next time I decide to do one, because god that was a hellish process.

[@Robiwee]

I´m glad that reddit brought me here.

[@patrickmahoney3172]

Dude, you are talented and funny. Dead pan funny is the best funny. I enjoyed this behind-the-scenes video as much as your completed production. You should go far. I hope you go far.

Really great behind the scenes video. I have a body kun and I agree the hands are not the best quality and can fall off or have a bad time holding stuff also probably cause I have the less expensive version. Also I have two similar rigs for flight from my Gundam and bodykun set. Great work on answering the questions great editing and sources of info and great humour also!!! Have a great day ;P -Rapid Edit: the link to your friends channel doesn’t work for me btw

Idk if you've seen the cursed attack on titan woody from toy story meme but this pikachu is giving me made vibes of that lol. But it looked really painstaking to make alone with yout other projects and I'm glad you're getting the recognition you deserve. KZbin does hate animators for some reason unfortunately. My little brother makes sfm animations so I understand. I'm also sorry you are going through depression, as someone whose facing their own battle with depression I understand that pain. I just hope you realize you got some great creative talent and what you make is quality shit and that is a fact despite what depressive thoughts may tell you.

Thank you! I've got a huge library from a ton of different sources, but a lot of them come from Footagecrate, Epidemic Sound, and Adobe. And then a fair chunk of them are just from searching for sounds on KZbin and ripping them with mp3 converters.

I wonder if there could be open source ai imaging software in the future that could detect clear plastic stands in stop motion shots and remove them from images. Much like how deepfakes work or things like 4K Final Fantasy 7 Mods Remako.

I'm a bit new to stop motion, I've been doing it for a couple of years now but more of a hobby than a job, but I would like to make it my job, how many frames per second do you recommend I do? Right now I'm at 10 fps, and so I was surprised to hear that pexachu vs godzilla was only at 12 fps, because it's way more fluid than mine, of course I realize that I'm still learning and my stop motion isn't going to be super fluid but I still thought I would ask

[@mootroidXproductions]

I'd say kick it up to 12 for now. Timing and spacing are more important than framerate. I recommend you look up the 12 principles of animation, too.
