Bigfoot Thinking at 2:02:

"Finally! My life-long dream of knocking Justin Bieber out...has been completed. My life's mission is done........."

[kingfii777]

[maniaco1d]

thata a great home made movie.... lol

[HallofWisdom]

Hey, that was rather good. iked it,.

[madniaco86]

the actors are not good but the efects work was so fantastics

[UltimateThanos]

Is it just me or is Bigfoot's roar actually just Pee-Wee Herman yelling with the pitch turned down?

[Saurabhinator]

did you use the sound effects of time commndo?

[SquabLouver]

awesome! how long does it take to make these?

[albero3]

OMG! Thats one of the best stop motions i've ever seen

[littlebirdytoldme]

i like it!

[BlackWyvern2]

I found it very entertaining, Thank you,

[jbartexas]

Thanks for watching!

[turbannedruffian]

nice sound effects

[demonswoop]

Smart, complex, extremely skilled work made on a zero budget by John Barnett - one of the great fans of stop-motion who is helping to keep this beautiful art form alive. Willis O'Brien would be proud.

[bidroid]

it reminds me that old videogames with stopmotion characters LOL funny like toxic waste. (the sound effects are funny too it will be different with better fx xD)

[supermax125]

thats wicked five stars *****

[jbartexas]

Thanks!

[TheRenegade247]

that's gay as gay can be

[boofdfast]

So are YOU, now rest your neck and watch the video

[boken88]

wow! I'd say on par with Ray Harryhausen!

5 stars is not enough for you, but it's all I can give!

[jbartexas]

Thanks for the kind comment!

[boken88]

I consider you a grandmaster, and regret not being able to meet with you back when I lived in Dallas.

take care

[BUTCHYKID624]

Awesome video - I can't believe it doesn't have more views ??? excellent job , YOU TUBE SUCKS ...

[jbartexas]

Thanks for the comments...glad you liked the video.

[miketrans]

Those kids at 1:20 are great...running in circles to get away from bigfoot. Great job.

[richragsdale]

that is a lot of fun

i dig your puppet

the music at the top reminds me of the land of the lost

seeing his reflection in the water is a nice touch

good work

[anthraxyulfo]

WoW! that was great!

[jbartexas]

Thanks..glad you liked it.

[Guernicaman]

LOL. Awesome work! ^^ Though I was hoping the ape would beat the aligators instead. It's kind of sad.

[starfyre05]

it was great art direction and the concept was good,great job in keeping the art alive

[sadiengo]

Excellent Job. But Im just wondering if theres going to be a part 2. Or will there be another making of such a movie in the near future. Keep them coming.

[jbartexas]

Thanks for the comment and interest. There is a full length version of this video and another, earlier stop motion short I also have posted. Currently working on a Kong/dinosaur production (probably about 3-4 months from completion).

[mythicstudios]

9 overly-aggressive Bigfeet out of 10. Great job!

[boofdfast]

That mofo got what he deserved, he was a punk hitting all those people. Hehee. :P Nice film, but those kids can't act. lol

[fibochs]

bullshit! that creature couldn't have been done in by a meer suburban neighborhood crocodile. i demand a rematch. 5 stars, though. was it a sasquatch?

[kuhnigget]

Nice composites! Fun stuff.

[curseddeath]

Keep the old-school alive!

[ultramort]

this is so rad.

[eddiefuzz]

This is wonderful work. I'm glad to see that some people still have the talent to create somthing like this rather than using cheap motion-capture like in the new Kong. well done.

[Corwynn]

On the contrary, motion-capture is incredibly expensive :P And Time consuming.. and requires the talents of one incredible actor.

Have some respect for the new school, all of us have respect for the old school.

[eddiefuzz]

I have no lack of respect for the technology of the new school. As a special fx designer who has worked on films and computer games, I'm part of the new school myself, but to see Willis O Brien's Kong replaced by what is essentially a man in a digital monkey suit was 'cheap', in that it requires no animation skills, CGI, Stop-Motion, or otherwise

[Bombo56]

Wow that was really good.

[hiyourajerk]

how'd you get the effects?

[jbartexas]

The model animation was done against green screen using MonkeyJam for a frame grabber. The video feed to the program was with a digital camcorder using a firewire connection. The animation was then composited with live action backgrounds using Magix Video Deluxe with multi-channel chroma key. Thanks for your interest!

[matbergman]

Nice armature.

[buggafutz27]

Funny and creepy...
