this is incredible, love the classic earl figure still being in use all these years later

Haha Earl’s arms barely hold up anymore, I’m gonna have to retire him soon I’m afraid haha

Amazing stuff. Was keeping up w the clips on IG and seeing it all put together is pretty cool. Very well done, the build up in the beginning really made this feel complete, something a lot of other wrestling animators have lacked

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks! I tried to make sure people got a whole story in one video with this, I'm glad it worked out!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@justmenesto2]

Pretty cool conference and nice intro. You even did the entrance themes? lol fucking great. On point with the Rock's punches and all the signature moves. How come there's no ringside commentator this time? I cracked up seeing the Rock's screaming head show up when he would get hit lol. Good stuff overall, man.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Haha those alternate head sculpts make animating these a lot more fun. I thought about doing some voice over commentary but I wanted to make this video feel a little different than the usual, I'm sure there'll be more videos in the future where I'll be in there calling matches. Thanks as always for watching, man!

[@bigdaddyiso]

i started watching these when i was 12 and they still have the same special feeling to watch now at 20 :)

Awesome to hear that! Glad you kept coming back over all these years!

Damn this is smooth, really made me want to try making my own stop motions

[@jessemersier5499]

Loved every second. I feel like I say it every time but…literally some of your best work. This was so fun. So good. Loved the VHS tape stuff. Loved the intro. Loved the animation. Loved the promos. This is your masterpiece.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks so much man! I had the idea for the VHS presentation a while back and held onto it for the right video, I wanted this to feel like you were watching an old Coliseum Home Video and fast forwarding to all the best parts haha. And I gotta thank you again for the Ultimate Hogan figure you sent me all that time ago. He was a great figure to use in these promos, I’m totally spoiled by alternate heads/hands now. They give so much extra personality to videos like these.

[@bennygilbert8764]

This was great, Cap! Probably your best wrestling stop motion to date in terms of quality. Excited to see what comes next for Super Tiger! Though, I am curious as to what's been happening in the meantime over in the states with JWF (Jericho as the new IC Champion, Raven bringing back the World Title, the Austin/Punk issue still not being settled, etc.)...

@@CaptainMcKayRandom always a pleasure captain, I just finished watching your Shawn Michaels vs The Rock ladder match from I think about 10 years ago. I've been thinking about doing my own wrestling skits every now and then. Funny enough I actually match to come by and old raw ring, the floor is spring-loaded. Even came by a mostly put together a ring entrance and steel cage. But the steel cage isn't designed for this ring and missing all the clamps to hold it together. But I might even go ahead and build my own unique ring especially for my monster characters.

Yo man, that's lookin smooth! I loved the press confrence before the match. And finally seeing the whole match after months of buildup was great as well. Although, I do miss the commentary from the Captain. He always added to the match, and honestly, rivals JR's commentary. Great stuff as always, man.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

VERY high praise putting me up there with Jim Ross haha. But thanks for watching, man...I considered running some commentary but I wanted to try and make the presentation for this feel different from the normal stuff I've made, hence the VHS thing.

I use a twist tie that's wrapped around the figure, then I use a movable arm with a small clamp to hold them in place. If you watch the end credits here, you'll see the unedited animation and you can see the apparatus I used.

[@aezii1658]

Fucking amazing, suck smoove animation how many frames do you use to get the quality like that?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! It depends honestly, because I export my animation and then edit the speed as a whole video and not as individual frames. It ends up being roughly 20-24 FPS, if I had to guess.

[@tonysnyder5394]

[@matthewkwong8896]

Have you used any stop motion AI program?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I use Premiere. I export the animation, then I edit the video itself where I can adjust the speed and positioning. There’s an export setting called Optical Flow that makes the animation rate look a little smoother, but there is no AI used here.

[@aximusprime]

The animation is top notch, I can't think of a single wrestling stop motion channel that even comes close to touching you in terms of actual animation. That said, I'm a little disappointed in the fact that this is supposed to take place in Japan and yet you animated Hogan to wrestle in his North American style rather than his Japanese style. No rolling armbars, no enziguris, no axe bomber clothesline, etc. You had an opportunity to make something truly unique and instead just made an animated highlight real of their feud and matches circa 2002. It's a great animated highlight reel, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't make sense that you promoted this as a Japanese event, even going as far as using audio from an interview he did in New Japan. Otherwise, great work as usual.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

So this is a Japanese event strictly because I showed a while back that Hogan and the nWo were in Japan, I never meant to make anyone think too hard about it. That said, fair critique, I'm sure some people would have loved the nod to Hulk's overseas wrestling style.

[@aximusprime]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom I'm confused by "So this is a Japanese event strictly because I showed a while back that Hogan and the nWo were in Japan, I never meant to make anyone think too hard about it." You established Super Tiger Pro Wrestling as a Japanese promotion so it would stand to reason that anything taking place in an STPW ring would be in Japan. The majority of the feuds and matches you have animated over the years have been original, taking place between talent that have never faced one another in real life. We had Rock vs Hogan twice, once when Hogan was nWo and the second time when he was red and yellow. A Rock vs Hogan who wrestled in his Japanese style would have been something different than what we already got in real life. With that said, you didn't promote it as such so I am not blaming you for something that I hyped up in my head. Just saying it was a missed opportunity.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

@@aximusprime you’re probably right, thinking about it now maybe I should have thrown in a few different moves to showcase Hogan’s differing styles between territories. My point earlier about Hogan and the nWo being in Japan is basically just to showcase that there are other wrestling promotions in this universe I’ve been animating for a while, mostly as a way to explain why certain wrestlers haven’t appeared on JWF (with the in-canon logic being these guys just work somewhere else). While Super Tiger IS set in Japan, I didn’t mean to imply that it would exclusively feature Japanese style wrestling. That’s all I meant when I said I didn’t mean for people to think too hard about it - it’s not meant to be strictly a New Japan stand-in, it’s just a different company. With that said, there are similarities (press conferences, etc) in presentation for sure, along with glimpses of talent that was/is well known in Japan. But I’m also pulling ideas from all over the place - if you remember, a long time ago in an early Super Tiger video I explained Diesel and Razor left JWF to go to Super Tiger where they became Nash and Hall of the nWo, mirroring their real-life departure to WCW. Basically, Super Tiger exists just because I wanted a different federation to exist on my channel that felt different from JWF. That’s all I meant when I said I didn’t want anyone to think too hard. But I’ll definitely take your points and next time I do something with Super Tiger, I’ll try and include regional differences if I’m using someone whose style changes depending on their location. 🍻

[@renegonzalez8194]

This great if only you were consistent with the stop motion

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Was it inconsistent? This has been worked on for over a year little by little so some parts probably look better than others I guess, but I don't notice anything jarring.
