    OT: sent you a PM, never heard back! I'm finishing up the mods you asked for on the ramp as we speak. I'll have pics for you in a day or so, and we'll see if it passes muster!

    To the rest of the gang: this is what Optimus Timelord is looking forward to getting; it's been an honor and privilege to work on this project. I just need to finish one last thing and ship it to him:

    OK, the rock formations, sky etc. is appropriately fantastic. But what really caught my eye are the cleaned-up graphics in the beginning with the super-sharp logos. It feels like everything is jumping off the screen!

    Great dude! Don't know what gremlins ate the PM :lol 
    Awesome sauce!
    Yeah same here, it's the widescreen clarity of it that impresses me the most!
    I've been enrolled to provide some stop-motion for certain figures that LazyEyebrow doesn't own, so I get to contribute a bit to this epic endeavor :rock

    Beautiful work! The use of real-world landscape elements is a nice touch and will be stunning as a backdrop for the figures. Have you considered revising those final frames to match the mountain's iconic shading from the original?
    You guys joining forces is going to be awesome!! Oh, man, oh man!!!

    Back when I did stop motion I was using Stop Motion Pro, I believe it's the program used for Wallace and Gromit.

    And on that note, I wonder what it would look like to mix Transformers stop motion with Claymation?

    We are pleased. We appoint you our high priest.
    Only your namesake ;) 
    Nice to see some rarer G1 figures in motion!

    I use Photoshop to create my frames, Gifmaker to create the gifs, and Giphy to host them.

    That's interesting you use Gifmaker rather than Photoshop's built-in timeline to make the gifs. What is the benefit of using Gifmaker? (I've never used it.)
