VIKING Stopmotion Battle Breakdown - Episode # 1

[@chrismagovern]

Really cool to see your workflow. Feeling it in the body is so important. Also, love the toy-timing/stopwatch idea... will definitely incorporate that into planning future shots. Cheers!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

so glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@SteveMLinez]

I been waiting all my life for a channel like this, thanks Justin

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

[@DanMetalMadCat]

BEAUTIFUL. Big confession here. I have avoiding myself to watch as much stopmo videos due to some depression, but here we are back on track watching stop mo stuff again! LOVELY!!!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Thanks Dan! I am honored that you watched mine.

[@FigureHunterX]

Sir, You are now my role model. Your animation skills are awesome, your knowledge of it is also great, but mostly through this video, I’ve felt that how much you love what you doing and sharing the experiences and time with your family together. That’s good thing. Stay safe and keep uploading your works and thoughts I support you the best

Justin - this is awesome! I am a long-time fan of your work, as well as an amateur stop-motion animator. Thanks for sharing!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

so happy to hear !! thanks for watching

[@albertocoronado7340]

It's really amazing how you break down your shot. Your timing and spacing is great, I feel it and I see it. I will implement the apk in my workflow, please keep posting videos and inspiring more animators. I love it. Thank you for share your amazing work Justin.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Thanks and will do alberto!!

[@jasonmorrow9616]

Thank you! Even your episode was perfectly timed! A wealth of information!

THIS MAKES ME WANT TO DROP EVERYTHING I'M DOING AND START ANIMATING!

[@michaelf2023]

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

my pleasure Michael!

[@edupuertasfruns]

I loved to hear that at the end, after lots of planning, you say that you animate by feeling. I do as well. At class, when teaching new animators it's hard to translate this sense of timing that you get with time and experience, it's not maths, there is no formula you can apply...apart from repeat and repeat till you like it.

[@a_n_i_m_o_t_i_o_n_s]

I remember you saying this to me Justin about animating by feeling and how it looks right.. and I didn't quite now what you meant at the time, but now I been doing more animation I get it now.. one starts to develop a sense of timing and spacing...

[@alexdodoll]

Awesome !

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thanks Alex!

[@iurimonteiro4767]

yes!!! thank you for the videos!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

np Luri!! more to come

[@eddieandersson5570]

Ohh man I love this, you got your whole family involved too. That's so cool. And what a great way to bond as a family. Keep'em coming I'm going to be glued to the screen

[@eddieandersson5570]

@@JustinRaschAnimation I'd loved to have had such a connection within my family at one time. But I fear the closest we got to something like that, is when us kids helped granddad with he winter supply of firewood. An honorable thing to do for sure, but nowhere near as fun as what you guys are doing. I love to see you guys are doing all this and and I'm happy for you.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

ill keep them coming! and yes...one of the big reasons I fell in love with stopmotion is that I could share it with my family unlike my computer work.

[@TheOgToaster]

This guy deserves more views and respect for what he does, cause it's beautiful

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

I appreciate your comments!

[@jamie9365]

The work and dedication you put into your art is spectacular!! I would love to see your entire process of building your second character from concept to clay.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

stay tuned and i just put up a new episode showing my foam latex puppet process

[@QuantumVisionsStudio]

The “Feel it through your body “ part changed my perspective about animation

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thank you

[@XoVoX]

killing it as always! thank you for breaking everything down; neat to see.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

my pleasure!

[@andrewskelton71]

Dude, you are such an animation beast!! I'm currently studying animation at Uni and I plan on specialising in stopmo, and whilst your skill level is intimidating, it is inspiring to watch! Really need to shift this lockdown pudge and start filming some reference!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thanks so much...Ill be starting up a new episode soon...thanks for watching

[@gretchin]

Your cat cracked me up, as well as your "reenactment" of finding the kitchen wrap. Really liked the improv moment when the barrel stayed up overnight. Love you guys.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thanks so much gretchin!!

[@thebrokentangent]

Hands down the best reenactment video on the internet! Thank you for taking the time to make these awesome breakdowns, Justin!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Ha! wow ...high praise!! thanks man

[@puppetanimation]

Hey Justin. We met back in 2005 and I remember you said you were super interested in getting into stop motion and I gave you a copy of my crappy film. I'm blown away by how much you have accomplished. Your timing and poses are so awesome. Really looking forward to the content on your channel! Think you are going to inspire a lot of folks to get out there and start making some films. Keep up the great work!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Hey Michael! I still have your film and really love this medium so much. I appreciate you following.

[@greenmanstudios8746]

This was so cool! And yes, whenever I am animating something in my stop motions, I act it out too! Looking forward to more videos and seeing that new character.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

more to come for sure!!

[@Thiagz]

Hey Justin! Amazing content ! Thx to share with us! It’s unvaluable ! So generous. It’s really inspiring the way you animate and how you move for your références. Real beauty. Can wait to see the next content. As I see a lot of videos about stop motion, they always are on timelapse and it’s look so easy and fast to create. And when you try it’s quite frustrating. Can you post some sequences in real time when you are animating? Like for 2-3 frames on a character animation. It’ll defenatly motivate beguinner as me to push harder. Thx again

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

I will live stream myself animating to show my process very soon -follow me on tik tok for the live streams

[@AndresFernandez-fi4ie]

AMAZING!!!!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thank you so much!

[@Sparrksz]

I have no idea how to animate or use stop motion but I just love watching this - so cool to see all the work that goes into something like this

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thanks Sparrksz!!

[@whatisthis771]

Damn you really put a lot of effort into the movement of your characters

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

I do love animation deeply

[@DiaboloFeeling]

Thnks for doing this, veeeery useful!!!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

your welcome!

[@WrenchNato]

This is so motivational and encouraging. I just started messing around with stop motion. I am curious what app did you use to count frames?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

its listed in theis episode...app called animtime

[@luciliusduiliuscaelinus1512]

can you do a video on how the puppet is constructed? that would be really interesting

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

yes! and if you look at my latest episode you can see how foam latex puppets are made.

[@frans3593]

Good Job .....

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Thanks

[@michaelbaran]

This was very cool. THank you for the breakdown and tips. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Can I ask what method you use to anchor the feet? I have use a drill and wing nuts to screw the foot to the ground. It worked but I wonder if there are more efficient methods

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

I use tiedowns that screw into the toes of my puppets.

[@Franksjonathan35]

Always amazed with your process! Do you overlay the footage in Dragon Frame on a lower opacity?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

no ...i dont actually know any professionals who do this ....good ole flipping is how you get good animation. develop your eyes

[@NathanGlemboski]

Thanks so much for sharing! What's the frame count app you're using?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

animation ref counter

[@colehiggins111]

Dang this is amazingly useful info for animating! Love it!!!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Thanks Cole!

[@Meadowhead]

Hey Justin, This is Wayne from Konami! Loooong time ago! Wonderful videos... my new favorite channel and can’t wait for your next episode. Brilliant stuff! The Viking barrel animation is off the charts good.

[@Meadowhead]

@@JustinRaschAnimation I just showed my daughter your channel today and she said "oh, yeah I know that guy...I follow him on instagram!". Haha. You've building a Laybourn fan base. I'm up in Seattle, art directing games by day and doing jiujitsu by night. Great to hear from you.

[@Meadowhead]

Yup. My daughter is and artist also. She’s got a few more years left of high school but is starting to think about where and what type of art to study. Seems like there’s a lot more choice these days but also cost a lot more $$$ so she’s starting to think about it now. I love the way you seem to have your whole family involved. Best way to learn!

[@Meadowhead]

Thank you. I will let her know. Likewise if I could be of any help for your daughter I’m happy to help out. Does she know where she will study yet?

[@Meadowhead]

Wow. That’s exciting.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

@@Meadowhead looks like her number one is leeds! she got into all the school she wanted in england. Ravenssomething and briton are both on her list too

[@kentbrazas1542]

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thanks

[@TheMainStark]

Always love seeing stop-animation craftsmanship. Any estimates on how much time was required for the scene? I had my daughter doing some Stikbot animations for awhile =)

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

such a big ?....making the puppet took a good 6 weeks alone....design -sculpting - molding- painting - then animation. The animation was about a week of work.

[@ramenlook3519]

Hey Justin, thanks for the video! Do you by chance know of an Android equivalent to the AnimTime app?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

i do not but I bet there are few not too different!

[@a_n_i_m_o_t_i_o_n_s]

How thick is that wire your using on the self-made 5xlbs rig? I just tried making my own and I'm not sure if the wire I'm using is slightly less thicker than yours.. and the winder or slider thing, where did you get that from.. is that one you made yourself or bought.. and you using really old DF control unit there, which looks awesome.. I prefer the older approach.. my new DF bluetooth keypad always winds me up lol, never connects properly.. I'm using the lead one now.. this video was awesome.. love that viking puppet, I want to learn to make my own.. I realise I'm not really getting very far trying to cut corners here.. need a decent puppet.. there are no short cuts right.. just got to crack on and learn this stuff to move on.. I loved watching you do all those moves.. it's very clever.. can see your insight at mechanics and weight and performance at work here.. it's inspiring, I want to get to that level.. where the real work begins.. I'm going to see if I can dig out your old videos on making puppets.. I think there's behind the scenes HOW TO stuff on your - Gerald's Last Day - dvd isn't there.. which I got.. awesome stuff as usual man.. I notice you still work by drilling the holes into the set rather than metal perforated set.. I'm wondering whether I should just stick with wood..

[@a_n_i_m_o_t_i_o_n_s]

Justin Rasch Animation 👍🏻 only just seen this.. thanks for the info

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

you can double or tripple thinner wire too to make it stronger

[@a_n_i_m_o_t_i_o_n_s]

@@JustinRaschAnimation ok cool.. I need to try this again.. I'm using the 3d printed winder I got - alot more now..

[@javamachine107]

my 11y sun is excited, what courses you'd suggest to take during this Christmas break? he asked to buy him a ton of clay :) what's else??

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

i would get a book called -Stop Motion Filmmaking: The Complete Guide to Fabrication and Animation

Nice animation. I love doing 2D animation but I've never done stopmotion before. Can you point out some good sites that can help me get started with stopmotion?

[@sebastiankalemba411]

Hey Justin, great stuff Man and very inspirational!!! Where did you get your "vertical horizontal slider" or at least parts to be able to make it, it's so cool! Thanks and keep up doing great work Man!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

thanks! I had my sliders made....they are very expensive. Maxwell sorenson sliders should get you there

[@sebastiankalemba411]

Thanks a lot Justin, I appreciate it a lot!! :)

[@beardzandbiblez1294]

That’s an old Dragonframe keypad. What year is it?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Ha! no need to change if it works!

[@Petilombe]

My god, I do some little 2d animations and I wanted to know if some techniques apply also for stop motion? For example using pose to pose or straight ahead? Cause for what I understand it's only straight ahead?

[@Petilombe]

@Zed O Jeez, I animate for I don't know how long and I'm still struggling for having the timing and spacing right, one time it looks good and one time it just looks trash and I even if I fix my movement it still looks trash lol

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

stopmotion is straight ahead- you can do a block that is used as an educational test before doing your real work...but its always straight ahead

[@vstanish]

This is amazing!! very impressive! did you make the toy and props yourself?

[@vstanish]

Justin Rasch Animation unbelievable! Very inspiring! Also seeing how your family supports you ❤️

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

yes! me and my wife shel make all our own puppets!

@@vstanish thanks Vladimir!

[@TheRedBrickGuy]

I’m a really big fan of your work just one question though where did you get that keyboard or box with buttons that you use to flick between frames with ( I don’t know what it’s called sorry) or is there any you could recommend?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

its custom made since Im an arcade dork....i just like the clicks

[@TheRedBrickGuy]

@@JustinRaschAnimation actually that seems quite a good idea😁

[@kemalafaouzi]

Really admire you i met you by luck few weeks earlier.. and i hope you have a little time .. cuz i want to learn animation and i think you have it . First whats the app you use ? And have you a Facebook channel ? TX BTW

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Hey Kamala! very nice of you to say. I use dragonframe to shoot my animation. I don't have a channel on facebook...but maybe i will at some point.

[@JSW32]

Great stuff Justin! Awesome to see your workflow I’m really looking forward to these episodes! I know you act out the white and feel what you’re body is doing, but do you ever have your reference up in Dragonframe as you animate to refer to? Also, what is that vertical/horizontal slider thing called? Where can you get that? Can’t wait for more!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

the slider is called a winder rig....I have done 99% of my work with out them but it really makes the job MUCH easier....expensive but amazing
