@KRAZEEIZATION I don't i only have a shitty green m1a1 tank.

[HoScaleGeek]

Tanks tanks tanks tanks tanks!

Very good movements, crystal clear images, thumbs up for this vid.

[KRAZEEIZATION]

Fantastic! There must be billions of those cheap Chinese plastic tanks around the world. Everyone seems to have them! Great for burning and easily replaceable!

[DaveHProductions]

@KRAZEEIZATION These used to be a dime a dozen in NZ but I actually can't find them anymore. All we have in the way of army men are those cheap, brittle, crappy ones from the dollar store with the wee tiny tanks that look closer to 1/72 than 1/32. But luckily I managed to stock up on a few of the good ones before they stopped selling them.

HACKER xD

[MrMattnethan]

what program did you use for the explosions?

[DaveHProductions]

@MrMattnethan Sony Vegas for editing and I downloaded the effects from Detonation Films dt com.

[MrMattnethan]

@DaveHProductions ok, thanks. good vid!

[TheDjgamer24]

@stormranger6 XD

[FlyTour69]

I'm in the making of a army men stop motion animation. I won't be as many fps, but will still be worth watching I think. You should check it out when I upload it.

[SuperNick134]

very very nice

i would be pleesed to know what programs did you use!

[DaveHProductions]

@SuperNick134 Thanks man! I used sony vegas 8.0 to edit the clips and a Canon SX120IS camera.

[familiesteinhauer]

That looks great! How much time did it take to film?

[DaveHProductions]

@familiesteinhauer Thanks! It took me about 5 days to make this one, over half of that was the editing.

[legovidas]

wow nice animation!

you did great job!

[DaveHProductions]

@legovidas Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!

[11strelokfan1000]

Sound is a bit flawed, but it did make the characters sound more amusing and dynamic (they are in tanks, after all). The animation is simply perfect, though! I am favouriting this.

[DaveHProductions]

@11strelokfan1000 Yeah, what I meant to do was make it sound like they were communicating over the radio, but I screwed up on the audio effect and it ended up sounding just plain bad. Found a video tutorial later describing how to do it properly so hopefully next time I won't make the same mistake. But thanks anyway man, that means a lot to me!

[11strelokfan1000]

@DaveHProductions Not a problem :)

[MrAmorri]

nice ;) what is the name of this stop motion?

[thebeststopmotionma1]

Ver,very,very interesting.

[UndeadOutbreak]

Sound ok visuals perfect.

[DaveHProductions]

@UndeadOutbreak Thanks, yeah I really stuffed up the sound to this one. Lol.

[avpkid345]

cool

[DaveHProductions]

@avpkid345 Thanks bro. Glad you liked it.

[Joe22Awsome]

Awesome what progarm do you use for effects i use pinnacle studio ultimate collection

[DaveHProductions]

@Joe22Awsome Thanks, I use Sony Vegas Platinum 8.0 and Adobe Photoshop. I find that vegas is a bit limited in some areas, so in hindsight I probably would have went with Adobe Premiere if I had have known about it at the time, on the student discount it's about the same price as Vegas was. How do you find Pinnacle Studio?

[Joe22Awsome]

@DaveHProductions Well do you live in the united states(on your twitter it says new zealand) Any way I got mine in BestBuy a store and There is a site but make sure you put in "pinnacle studio ultemate collection"

it comes with every thing pretty sweet effects as well

[DaveHProductions]

@Joe22Awsome Sorry, I meant how are you finding it, as in, is it good, bad, average, are there many good features, etc. and yes, I live in NZ, not the us.

[Joe22Awsome]

@DaveHProductions oh well for me as a starter its easy but my lighting isnt good so I need to buy some work lights but its really simple and easy I love it some effects i dont like but I have to make my own haha Thanks for asking Btw

[Joksislt]

WOW ! COOL !

[DaveHProductions]

@Joksislt Thanks. :-)

[YOELCOMANDANTE]

A very good video. We have taken advantage of these figures so small. Very successful history and the final. The special effects are great. Receive a greeting, friend

[MrLegodude567]

we have a winner! lol, nice job

[WarnerBrikProduction]

WOW! wow wow wow wow wow!!! This is AMAZING! wow....how good this is I cannot describe in writing...

[DaveHProductions]

@WarnerBrikProduction Thanks man. 

[WarnerBrikProduction]

@DaveHProductions

lol Im a girl T.T

[DaveHProductions]

@WarnerBrikProduction Oh, lol, sorry.

[WarnerBrikProduction]

@DaveHProductions

Haha, its fine. Alot of people call me a boy :P

[joewars66]

I loved it. i wish I knew how to use the adobe green screen like you, sweeeet. However, I have recorded some sound and sang karaoke. If you you want to talk loud hold the mike away from your mouth more. Some of what your characters were saying was lost to me, but a very good job. I need to take green screen lesons from you.

[DaveHProductions]

@joewars66 Yeah, it was supposed to sound like the tank drivers were talking over the radio, but I think I overdid it. Lol. Especially on the Tan tank crew. Anyway, thanks for your comment, it's good to get some honest feedback. I actually use Sony Vegas Platinum for my editing and effects, I would have gotten Adobe Premiere if I had have known about it at the time, Vegas is good but it's very limited. I just sent you a youtube message with a link to a tutorial that should help you.

[DaveHProductions]

I just realised I forgot to key out the blue screen and add the sky in at 1:20. Sorry guys. I kind of rushed this video to finish in time for GoldSwordStudios' stop motion competition which ironically was extended right after I uploaded this short. *Sigh*

[huttwigley]

Very cool! The animated tank sequences look very smooth!

[smutoys]

Awesome, great job, and highly entertaining!

[GoldSwordStudios]

AMAZING JOB!
