    Your videos are amazing!! I stumbled on them a while back and I'm blown away by how you actually recreate the episodes with the toys!! I can't even imagine how much work is put into making these. Well done!!

    I love stop motion, but I am kind of jealous of people like you who make it look so fluid. I need to become your padawan or something, haha.

    My attempts look like they were done by a drunken monkey.


    I've been trying to get back into it, I haven't come up with a good idea of what to do.

    Don't feel too bad, your animation itself looks ok. But like I always say to anyone who asks, the most simple thing you can do to make your stuff look a lot more professional is put the camera on a tripod so that things aren't moving about between frames. Also, in general, don't animate outdoors because the light is constantly changing!

    Yeah, I'm sure you noticed that in my video. I was pretty much just testing out a tripod, actually.

    That's good. If you don't have a remote button for taking pics, use a delay setting, just to make sure there's no wobble. Sometimes touching or moving the camera can't be helped, but since my stuff is edited in Photoshop that tends not to matter, as I can line the layers up in there :)

    Wow, that's a great idea that never occurred to me. I am going to try using my galaxy S5 at some point, It has voice controls. Just need to get a tripod or something for it.

    You didn't have the tetra seekers in the intro before did you? Which ones are those?

    Correct, they replaced the old shot of Quakewave. Impossible Toys Tetra squad but edited in with Masterpiece seeker bot modes.

    Another winner!! Fantastic work, as usual, OT! Looks like MP-36’s faces make a nice foundation for animated expressions and mouth movements.

    I absolutely love seeing these scenes you put together, thanks again for your continued work! :)

    Cheers mate!

    I wasn't sure about using the extra faces, it's a very extreme jump from closed mouth to that huge laughing expression (you might spot an intermediate frame I put in that's halfway between). Seemed to work for that moment when Meg's thinks he's won though!
