To answer
some of the
more
commonly
asked
questions:
The music
was written
specially
for the film
by Loic
Desjardins.
It doesn't
have a name
that I know
of and it's
not
available
anywhere
besides this
film at the
moment.
I used a
Panasonic
NV-GS280
camcorder,
Stop Motion
Pro,
Photoshop
and Sony
Vegas to
make the
film. And
some Lego.
My other
Lego films
were shot
with a
Logitech
QuickCam Pro
4000 webcam
- a pretty
cheap
alternative.
It's all
stop motion
- 15 frames
per second,
so around
1800 frames
altogether.
I filmed it
over about
three days,
then spent
about a day
fiddling
about
editing and
masking and
stuff.

This pilot
episode was
the
proof-of-concept
for the
series, and
its success
has inspired
us to push
forward with
the
full-fledged
web series.
Our first
experiment
with
stop-motion
and
greenscreen,
the pilot
episode
taught us
the economy
of movement
and the
value of a
well-lit
set.
The pilot
features a
MOC (My Own
Creation) by
Chris Wunz
of the Clone
Wars-era
Heavy
Cannon. The
cannon has a
working
worm-gear
which
allowed us
to easily
animate the
cannon
movements in
the short.

Jackboots on Whitehall looks like it is going to be a real fun stop motion animation movie. Due to be released any day now, it is a satirical alternative take on the historical events of World War II. In this alternative comical history the Nazis seize the UK capitol, London. The good old "Brits" have to band together at Hadrian's Wall (a landmark in London) in order to halt the German invasion.
The movie's creators and directors, UK brothers Edward and Rory McHenry claim this movie is the first feature to use animatronic puppets to assist in the stop motion animation process.
I love this
one with the
toy soldiers
( GI Joe's)
and the
sherman tank
etc. The
animation
set is
perfect for
the scene.
It is not
often you
see a stop
motion make
outdoors to
such good
effect.
History of Stop Motion Animation Stop motion animation has been around for a long time, almost as long as traditional film-making. Originally stop motion involved animating objects which included the animated movement of any non-drawn objects such as toys, blocks or any rigid inanimate object you care to mention. This was quickly followed by cel animation. And then animators experimented with clay animation ( claymation ) and puppet animation which is what you may be familiar with in Wallace and Gromit and so forth. Some early examples of stop motion films and techniques can be seen in the “The Humpty Dumpty Circus” (1898) and in “Fun in a Bakery Shop” (1902). In 1907 “The Haunted Hotel” was a very successful movie with the cinema audience of the time. In 1912 one of the first claymation movies using stop motion was released to great critical acclaim. It was called “Modeling Extraordinary” In 1916, the first woman animator, Helena Smith Dayton, began experimenting with clay stop motion. She released her first film in 1917, Romeo and Juliet. December of 1916, brought the first of Willie Hopkin's 54 episodes of "Miracles in Mud" to the big screen.
On the site we also have a tutorial section for those new to the hobby of stop motion with some basic instructions on how to make animation 3D claymation movies, brickfilms or a legomation movies. We review 3D stop motion animation software packages to help you to choose the one that is right for you and to help you to make the best possible stop motion animation claymation or brickfilm movies.
