After almost 2 months....another stop motion. Thank you all for your patients and your time! I hope you enjoy this Film and if you do make sure to *decimate* that like button! Also, another shout out to Ender Guney, he makes these awesome cinematic soundtracks for films with *No Copyright!* kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJu1ZZKVj7aHe6s

[@Bigkiller2099]

Stinger11Studios nice

[@ToonBros]

Stinger11Studios yes I really ender guney’s channel. His songs are very helpful for my stop motions

[@haloscout496]

Stinger11Studios awesome vid dude

[@frankieval4357]

Patience

[@PigeonArmy03]

This is an amazing stopmotion but just saying I'm pretty sure the Marines are called imps not demons

[@mootroidXproductions]

Well done, that was intense.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Mootroid! You have no idea how much your comment means to me, you were the reason I started stop motion animation in the first place and where I am now. I remember watching The Final Stand almost 5 years ago. Thank you for being an inspiration and I am glad you enjoyed my work :)

[@Kilroy-xd7jp]

Hi

[@11Survivor]

I'd just like to point out that the best a regular human can hope to be called is an Imp by the covenant. Demon is exclusive to Spartans.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Yeah Ik sorry bout that.

[@11Survivor]

No problem, great video BTW!

[@elizebethjarrett9065]

Stinger11Studios Elites show more honor then brutes do. lore states Elites admire Humanity's Resistance and Strength. Elites admired most is when Marines and Spartans who stay behind to provide cover while the rest escape

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Better than mine, seriously, top notch

[@Stinger11Studios]

Nah I wouldn't say that. Thank you so much for the support badlaxe! Can't wait for your next film :)

[@DafterThings]

Blimey. Another super-cinematic, story-driven animation. Great stuff.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Dafter! Can't wait for your next stop motion :)

[@veritech4884]

This is actually pretty good. You should start a longer project, say a Massive UNSC Base in ruins, and theres only Marines and ODST's left to hold out with one Wounded Spartan. Make it dark, make it bloody. But at the very end, pull out a Victory. Now THAT would be pretty fricken cool.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Great idea :)

[@bradtie7323]

Oh wow. Heh, pretty depressing. Even though these are just toys to be played with, you can feel the emotional aspect of the events occuring to them. God bless, and I hope you take your skills further as an animator. No matter what marine, hoorah! -Brad

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Brad :)

[@j.d.6645]

I am exellent that animation friend and a little sad :'(

[@Stinger11Studios]

Glad you enjoyed :,(

[@breadman9081]

Stop motion is hard as hell! I truly respect those who do it!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks dude, it is very tiresome but the end result is worth it :D

[@ToonBros]

Right when I saw the title of this stop motion. I knew this was going to be good. Great job

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man :) Glad you like it :D

[@blakegatewood4814]

Thank you so much for the shot out 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😀😀😀😀😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😸😸😸😸😸😺😺😺😺😺

[@Stinger11Studios]

No problem :)

[@TimotheosFraser]

I got a serious sense of hopelessness while watching this. This is quality stuff you're producing!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Tim! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@Ryuudjc]

Man, the atmosphere in this is phenominal. Amazing job mate

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks for watching and for the support :)

[@Urteethfairy]

Back at it again with the great stop motions dude I wanna see a stinger cinematic universe ending with an infinity war type movie where they all cross over and kill the dinosaurs (or destiny or something idk I personally think the dinos are scarier)

[@Stinger11Studios]

Great idea :D

[@shisn0598]

Thank you for this. These are always really worth the wait.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks means a lot and also thank you for your patients :D

[@WillsBrix]

amazing video man, music works amazingly and you told the story well using hardly any dialogue which worked well to keep the atmosphere and doom and illustrate the hopelessness of the situation. It goes without saying that the animation was great. Excellent as always my man

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks will! Yeah, I tried to make the atmosphere as hopeless as possible ;P I am so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@AXHawthorne]

It's sad to see the Covenant win but that's how most Battles happened on reach, Also I'm not saying it's really bad but, when the Elite calls them demons, there not called demons, only Spartans are called demons, and ODST are called imps, anyway I really did like this animation, keep up the good work

[@Stinger11Studios]

Woah, someone noes there Halo Lore :P Thanks for correcting me :)

[@Stinger11Studios]

[@ASTARTES808]

Excelent vidio i love ❤️

[@theblackknight870]

The Dead ODST, named "Nathan" well, that is one of my favorite figures in my collection, and my name is Nathan! Why did you kill us so early! Lol XD

[@sluggishleaf3853]

Also this video is awesome and it shows how depressing Wars is

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks dude, that was the feeling I was going for so I am glad it turned out ok :D

[@bigchungus8197]

I subscribed!

[@jayspace2905]

Great but sad :( but very good

[@lonevigilant5372]

I love your vids

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man! So glad you enjoy them.

[@ceo661]

At 2:11 he gets sniped

[@mike_klan4671]

Good job

[@Stinger11Studios]

Mike_klan thanks :)

[@condor1923]

So this is the one you talked about from battleaxe

[@Stinger11Studios]

Yup

[@condor1923]

Thxs and great job

[@FloodMakerProductions]

this was amazing! I love your special effects! how would you rate filmora as a product?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Filmora is ok if you don't wanna spend a lot of money. I only use it for audio. 7/10. Final Cut Pro X, which is what I used for pretty much everything else, is really expensive but is an amazing software. Also check out footage crate, it has some awesome downloadable effects :)

[@FloodMakerProductions]

Stinger11Studios thanks

[@Rip_R4]

Thanks for making me sad

[@Stinger11Studios]

*:,(*

[@CloudtheCommander]

Damn, you beat me to it

[@owenschick7447]

Woah

[@nancymellow8494]

Hey stinger I it's me braydin Mellow I am on m6 grandma's ipad and I just want to say this is your best stop motion yet well second you first Is Valor 2

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks dude :)

[@rathbunproductions5164]

How do you do that moving across your screen effect like it was a live action moment

[@Stinger11Studios]

You just put the camera/phone on something that slides, and then make sure the movements are the same each frame. If you are following the figure, try to have him in the middle of the picture, not matter what frame or movement. This will give it a nice effect :)

[@freddoproductions]

This is really good - really smooth and great lighting - loved it! May I ask how you created the practical blood effect at 2:45?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Freddo Productions sorry for the late reply. I used play-do and food coloring to create the effect. Although I would now recommend you use some fake Halloween blood, it works quite nicely

[@freddoproductions]

Okay thanks

[@ASTARTES808]

Bro like good

[@zacimusprime4865]

Very dark and graphic great job as always👍🏻 so when’s this supposed to be set in the halo timeline ?

[@Stinger11Studios]

It's supposed to be after reach, but before halo 3. Around the time of Halo 2 on a rural planet that is not related to the game itself.

[@juniorgames4951]

Like good video 👍

[@bottlecapco.6670]

I have watched your videos for a while and I must admit this one is a masterpiece also I do agree Ostiches are better than peacocks

[@Stinger11Studios]

Lol. Thanks dude I am so happy you enjoyed the video :)

[@bottlecapco.6670]

Stinger11Studios wooh

[@eunicescarlettbrown5939]

for some reason I watched this again.

[@kaisminis8980]

I might die of your smoothness animation and much more btw can u give me stop motion tips?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Haha, thanks man! Watch this tutorial. I know that it is for lego stop motions but it is very helpful and gives many useful tips and processes that I use :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKrLppebaMutd7M

[@kaisminis8980]

Thanks man

[@user-ux1xz5jd2q]

Hello I'm going to start doing stop motions but I wanted to know if I should make or have other people make voices and sounds before the stop motion or after I finish the stop motion? Also where do you find people for voice acting?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Hey man! Voice actors are great, you can join our discord here discord.gg/cmrdXq . This is a discord server where a lot of great animators are on and a lot of great voice actors as well. They can for sure help you out :) I like to have Voice Actors do lines before the animation, so I know how to animate the figures with the emotion of the voices.

[@user-ux1xz5jd2q]

Stinger11Studios thanks you got a new sub 👍

[@AzurexTensho]

I wish I was as good at animation like you

[@Stinger11Studios]

Keep practicing man! You will improve each animation you put out :)

[@vizededitz9428]

Btw what editing thing do you use because I make mine on iPhone and I was wondering

[@Stinger11Studios]

I use Final Cut Pro X. It's a pretty expensive editing computer software I got for my bday.

[@vizededitz9428]

Stinger11Studios Thanks for the info!

[@eunicescarlettbrown5939]

sad for the Marines but liked the video

[@Stinger11Studios]

Glad you liked it...I was going for a dramatic/sad feel :)

[@Xspartan398]

That was..dark

[@Stinger11Studios]

:P

[@holycrusader.2708]

Lol the grunts lol lol

[@ceo661]

Hay how dare you have the same guy as me in the picture :) hello friend

[@Stinger11Studios]

Hello :)

[@BASSCANNONStop-Motions]

Christ it’s gruesome 😂😂 how’s you do that bloody effect when his leg blew up

[@Stinger11Studios]

:P Plato+Sticky tack+Food coloring=Gross

[@thehalfdutchman-dutch1211]

Hi Stinger I was going to do something like this But you beat me to it Is it OK if I do something like anyway but with a whole different premise?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Sure dude go right ahead :D

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

Hey stinger what is your discord name and the four digits so I can friend you on discord.

[@chrisluong0852]

Watch your step people, otherwise something will explode

[@sluggishleaf3853]

Why does the DMR fire so fast?

[@Stinger11Studios]

I accidentally didn't add enough frames so he shot to fast so my only option was to speed up the siund to match it :/
