Galactic Smugglers Ep. 1 The Pirates

[FishPlatiunum]

would it be okay if i make a series, kind of like yours but with a completely different storyboard?

[thefourmonkeys]

@FishPlatiunum As long as you don't copy/use any of the names in our series or copy anything else from us then it would be different and no copyright infringement would apply.

[FishPlatiunum]

@thefourmonkeys would making a mini-spaceship count?

[thefourmonkeys]

@FishPlatiunum You can make your OWN creations, just don't copy any of ours.

[FishPlatiunum]

@thefourmonkeys ok then

[TheGoldndog]

whoops, i meant the 5th episode

[TheGoldndog]

wait a minute, wasn't that pirate in part 1 of the 4th episode of galactic smugglers? That pirate must've not recognised Captain Dude in that Batman costume.

[cheesestickstudios]

do you mind if i use captain cornelius dude for a minifig that i created, not a movie. That is !$*%ING awesome name!

[thefourmonkeys]

@cheesestickstudios You would have copyright issues if you did that. You will have to change so you don't run into that problem. Thanks. @(^_^)@

[xboahoyisthebest]

Hes right

[xboahoyisthebest]

Beatiful hot chicks

[commando414]

really? Clint Eastwood? U WATCH TOO MUCH COWBOY MOVIES!!!

[commando414]

Captain Dude Bugs Bunny: What's up doc?

LOL

[commando414]

someone who dislikes it is from star trek because they stole their theme!!!!!!

[LarryStudios]

This reminds me of Star Trek :) amazing show guys!

[Colbra67]

do you waych my vids? And when are you going to make the 7th episode?

[TheFawfulfan]

Cornelius Dude? I bet you his First name is Scrappy! Oh yeah, and I have a snake from my Bio II class named Cornelius.

[commanderalvarado]

this was uploaded on my bday!

[imagfilmsstudios]

what i love of this one is that in the opening seen it shows you another part of the spaceship. It looks cool

[findmestudios]

Oh, wow, "Chicks from planet Oasis"? It's funny, but that kinda' seems like something Captain Kirk would say.

[jj481012]

Hay how do you do the backround do you use blu or green screen or masking and if you do than can you help me

[TheMonkeybannana123]

love the song very catchy!

[minifiguremob37]

i have an idea for galactic smuggers 7. the pirate people take over the firedeer. and take out their revenge on jonny.

[ChevyRoll48]

1:01 whats up doc

[HbAvenger]

Nice video. Are you guys the ones I helped out a year or two ago?

[cherisong]

the sound at 0:55 is from sploder right?

[starkidsstudios]

That theme is amazing

[Ninjamuggins21]

This reminds me of the game Darkstar One.

[legoshack98]

Awesome!!!!

[willco66]

love this series

[pjoteri]

pretty good :) I seriously like the theme song and sound fx, well done!

[Tduey1]

I'm sorry but it was mediocre, I appreciate the effort though.

[Carbonell]

It was very good. I was kind of expecting a bigger comedy presence but still entertaining. Look forward to seeing more.

[degruy]

Cute. A good attempt but not spectacular.

[FilmForceStudio]

give it some movement. There just talking all the time, and does`nt move.

[FilmForceStudio]

I did`nt like it, sorry.

It`s kinda boring, and it looks TOO real.

It`s like saying: "Look at me! My videos rule!"

nod good.

[LegoScotsMan]

Awsome

[10juniorman]

Favorited it!

[ace4287]

awesome 5/5

[CassetteMaster]

[mom2act]

[secretjedi01]

[froogle100]

[splooshes2]

[thefourmonkeys]

Please check out the videos in our Monkey University playlist.

You will see how we do it there.

You can also check the "Questions and Answers" section of our website for other technical questions.

Thanks! @(^_^)@

[megageorge2002]

[legoalien985]

love it

[randomname1025]

nice and thank for friending me

[Newporkcity123]

Did you make the Music IT'S AWESOME!

[thefourmonkeys]

The theme song at the beginning and end was done by Indigolab. A link to their channel is in the description of the video. : )

[Legomoves]

awesome! i like the special effcets. for a while i have the though of a series, but i think it would not be realistic(25 episodes)^^

[DarthStewart202]

will you do a monkey university oon how to do a flying ship effect

[lusasmproductions]

i'e watched this video a billion time still enjoy it!

Great film, can't wait to see the third part :P

[StripsANDstripes]

yeah cant wait for part 3!!

[StrikerFire26]

yeah

[MarioUnleshed]

you guys should be partners but ur vids take ages to come out

[thefourmonkeys]

Thank you, but we only do this part time and our videos take a LOT of work. We try to release something as quickly as we can. Glad you like them anyway!! : D

[ScypaxPictures]

So does forrestfire101 videos...and he is a partner.

Some times he doesn't post a video for a month. xD

(reply to MarioUnleshed)

[StripsANDstripes]

no fence but im not a very big fan of THIS video exept i watch it everyday because i like the song at the start LOL

[thefourmonkeys]

No problem. You should check out their site on myspace. The link is in the description. They are awesome!!

[StripsANDstripes]

WOW

[EvilSniperGX]

Did you use chroma key/green screen?

[thefourmonkeys]

We took a picture of the ship and made a video file of it by importing it into iMovie with Ken Burns effect. We then put the space background in with Final Cut using chroma keying. We figured out how to do the same (better) effect completely within Final Cut for "Galactic Smugglers 2".

[21stCenturyLego]

When does Ep. 2 come out? It'll be epic!!!!!!

[thefourmonkeys]

Thanks!! Hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks. : )

[weety1234]

who on here is clint eastwood

[thefourmonkeys]

The Mercenary, with the dark sunglasses.  : )

[thefourmonkeys]

He named himself Clint Eastwood after the actor. There will probably be many characters named after 20th and 21st century actors and characters from movies.

[forcekid21]

Awesome!! i only didn't like those guns, i prefer others

[legofreak247]

is that doc holiday as the actual person?

[thefourmonkeys]

We just used the name. : )

[Mysterical01]

this is the fourth time i've watched it and i still can't get enough.

[GREATGABY101]

cool video rly good animation

[nuclearbugman]

This video is so good! Well done

[zorb9999]

how do you do that in the background were the ship is flying around?

[thefourmonkeys]

We took a picture of the ship and made a video file of it by importing it into iMovie with Ken Burns effect. We then put the space background in with Final Cut using chroma keying. We figured out how to do the same (better) effect completely within Final Cut for "Galactic Smugglers 2".

[zorb9999]

ok kool i think i get it now thanks

[FireBro9001]

1 word to describe it: EPIC!

[relaxingisgood]

[666Eclipse666]

[CEREALCODE]

[KrusaderKego]

-Kego

[ThatAnimator]

Wow, amazing. This family is good at stop-motion lol.

[ScypaxPictures]

Still my favorite.

[kingluigi99]

[lusasmproductions]

cool animation how did you made that thing flying in the beginning?

[thefourmonkeys]

We took a picture of the ship and made a video file of it by importing it into iMovie with Ken Burns effect. We then put the space background in with Final Cut using chroma keying. We figured out how to do the same (better) effect completely within Final Cut for "Galactic Smugglers 2".

[legokritz73]

the mouth movments are exelent! much better than anyone else and the animation is superb!

[TheMinifigure]

[Mysterical01]

[AgentIndy417]

That was brilliant! Very clever animation! I'm impressed!

[zorb9999]

[keatthebeat24]

You do mouth movements much better than anyone! Even forrestfire101!

[59fiftyrules]

your animation is awsome

[RougeWolfFang]

whens part 2 going to be released?

[thefourmonkeys]

Within a month. : )

[CommanderGree11]

Instead of the song at the beginning and end you should check out Major Tom(coming home)

[thefourmonkeys]

That is a great idea, but we really love Indigolab and the theme song "Buffalo Skies" is also the name of their ship so we thought it was a perfect fit. : )

[CommanderGree11]

Thats cool, just thought id mention it! :)

[thefourmonkeys]

No problem, we appreciate your opinion!! : )

[drgrit]

But the DAVID BOWIE version!!

[thefourmonkeys]
