Que geniales fotos toma este tipo

[@kimonoclubitalia6308]

Excellent! U made such amazing pics and ur Gohan figure it's so cool! I will try some of this tips and tricks with my DB figures and barbies. Thanx a lot!

[@AndreNguyen7]

Underrated tutorial, thanks for all the details and examples. Would love to see some melee fighting pose tutorials, like punches, kicks, battle ready for hand to hand combat. Cheers!

[@sirdork730]

Thanks a lot!! 🙏 love the idea! I’ll have to do that sometime!

[@ToyPhotographyArtChannel]

Posing is the key to a awesome shot or a uhhh yeah. Sweet bro i do the same I think about the pose and the scene then bam. Wire has made all my shots and you taught me that...👊👊🖖🤘🤙🍻

[@sirdork730]

You’re the man!! Thanks for watching dude!!

[@alanwerner2923]

Just noticed the shirt size sticker. A modern Minnie Peral.

[@markharrington8988]

Based on how often you used the word, and the content of this vid, does that mean you're a poser? LOL Love your work and can now see how they get some of the action pics on the boxes and in some stills for advertising. Well done, and keep up the good work. Also, Happy New Year.

[@sirdork730]

Haha! I guess I am 😂 I appreciate it dude! Thanks for watching!!

[@albertodeanda9173]

Thanks for the tutorial, you're amazing man!!

[@daldanus]

I really enjoy your videos and love seeing the resulting photos. I only have a phone camera, for now, but I'm making it work. A pro tip for shooting with a phone is turning your phone upside down. That way you get your camera closer to the ground making small figures look bigger and getting a better perspective. I also find that getting bokeh is much easier that way. My Insta handle is @helgren_kjeller

[@sirdork730]

Great tip for using your phone camera! Thanks so much!!

[@foodieants7878]

Thanks for all your tips!!! 🐜🐜🐜💪

[@redfawn6229]

The only bad thing is that some of my figure aren't fully poseable or poseable at all

[@choshow86]

I ran into a similar problem because I also have some figures that aren't composable but building backgrounds around them and some good editing has given me some good photos

[@prettytinyfilm]

Great advice! You should also let folks know that depending on the shot, with a strategic alignment of camera and figure, you can hide your wire/knitting needle/stick behind a leg and not have to edit it out :) alliecatinsta (Oh, and, KITTY!!!

[@sirdork730]

That’s for that! That is definitely a very smart way to set up! Thanks for watching!!

[@vipguyschnorgi6629]

Cool videos thanks regards from Germany

[@sometabifanboy7556]

Anyone noticed his angry cat is walking around

[@Macroadventures]

Great video Jared, awesome poses to try out 👍🏻

[@zachhtet177]

[@eucolecionodinossauros]

The photos are so good! I am tempted to try it out with my dinos, but also worried I might damage them in the process 😁

[@sirdork730]

Thanks so much!!! You could do awesome things with dinos! They will definitely be safe 😮

HI, you have got me hooked on this type of photograpy. I was lucky i got three stormtroopers two white one black from my local op shop,but unfortunately they dont have any weapons/guns any sugestions where i could get some.Keep up the great videos

[@sirdork730]

That is so awesome!! Thanks for watching!! That’s great you were able to find some troopers for cheap! If you search on eBay for “black series blasters”, I’m sure you will find some easy 🙏

[@jaydenfulton9026]

[@sirdork730]

Thanks so much for watching Mitch!!

[@thistlemist7064]

Why you still got the size sticker on your shirt, my guy? 😂 Btw nice shirt actually, and thanks for this tutorial it is super helpful!

[@sirdork730]

POV: You film a whole KZbin video and don’t realize the sticker is still on your shirt until after you finish filming 😂😂 Thanks though dude! Glad the video was helpful! The shirt is from 5 Below BTW 😁

[@alexakaa.charlesross8919]

How do you clean your figures and keep them nice after exposing them to the elements and fireworks?

[@sirdork730]

I usually will just wash them in the sink afterwards! Nothing special!

[@PaeoniaDrop]

Thank you for this tutorial. Posing is something I really struggle with especially to get my art dolls to look natural since their ball joints do have limitations. I also really admire the DOF in your photos. I always struggle to get subjects in poses when I cannot see through the view finder (since my old DSLR doesn't have a display). I really want to do more compositing to avoid damaging expensive dolls. @paeoniadrop

[@Beebop666]

Sometimes the pose is awful by the naked eye but with the camera and certain angle it’s looks way better

[@studiojamescao]

The last shot is absolutely amazingly done

[@optimuskrime8440]

Great video, man! 🤘 @optimus.krime

[@christopherrichardson2945]

I like posing, it’s the most favorite part for me; thanks for the tips to make me better / crich2077

What kind of fire works do you use? On my page I just started doing some toy videos with my kids on our KZbin channel and wanted to add fireworks. Also, I'd love some feedback on our first Batman video.
