Pencil Pancakes - Mackmation

[MrSmashCat]

Your animations are amazing! What camera and software do you use? And what is your frame-rate?

[AstridAnimatie]

Very clever of you to use baked Super Sculpey for this trick! Where do you buy this? The way I keep characters straight is with soft plasticine clay and a rig. But that's sometimes difficult with small objects.

[EnglishPancakes]

Loved it! Watched it like 6 times. I paused a bunch of times when the pencil was being melted into a pancake and I got to see all the sculpures! :D

[AsianTurtleTv]

Do you also use stop motion while moving your hand?

[jtjonny01]

Was this inspired by western spaghetti by PES?

[colinazilla]

[kt1005ful]

[ShaneThomasVideo]

[Sander79]

Wow! Nice one!!

[ShortoonsAnimations]

You would probably die from led poisoning if you ate those.

[Entharion]

I'm pretty sure pencils are filled with graphite or charcoal, not lead :P

[ShortoonsAnimations]

Yeah, you got me there.

[Entharion]

But I agree, doesn't seem too healthy XD

[ShortoonsAnimations]

Probably not Ha Ha! Chocolate charcoal. :-))

[Entharion]

nomnomnom XD

[aCrazyclayMation]

you should make another one called pencil waffles! that would be awesome!

[Mackmation]

Pencil pancakes, paintbush frenchtoast, crayon cereal, and eraser waffles.

A delicious breakfast all from your art supplies, haha.

[aCrazyclayMation]

don't forget charcoal bacon :D hehe

[iceburry17]

@Mackmation that actually sounds pretty good

(eww no not to eat,a dood idea )

[adept91]

@Mackmation For the early morning starving artist, finally putting an art degree to good use.

XD

[Juwayyid]

Is this entire film stop motion?  The arm looks fake at points...

[Mackmation]

Yes, it's all captured one frame at a time.

[ARandomProductionsTT]

yum yum yum!

nice!!!!

[GreenCheeze96]

uh, yum.....?

lol Im jk! They look so good to eat!

[blobofblue]

that would be so awesome! so smooth!

[runxforest]

WOW SUPER COOL

[Brickcellent]

PEZ style!

[YoungTubersUnited2]

mmmm i wood eat that pancake but i dont want to get splinters:)

good job though

5 stars

[squiProductions]

ha thats funny. You "Wood" eat it! Like, the pencils made of wood haha yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[AsSeenOnTV6]

I love it. I really need to get back into stop-motion.

[stopmotionhumor]

can someone plzz tell me what program he uses?

[Jackdabomb1]

you do know the program doesn't matter. It's not like if you have the same program as him your animations will be as good as his. Just use monkeyjam or something. He could've literally created this on any stop motion program.

[PokemonKid100]

How does it taste? =P

[JRPictureProductions]

That's so cool!

[ApocalipsalMikey]

i wish i could eat those

[mnmtwinz]

[nat225]

It looks like PES. :D

[snorreproductions]

Don't Think Its Such A Good Idea To Eat That If It Transforms Back And Forth Like That!

[darklordmario43]

Awesome! it reminds me of PES

[CormiersCorner]

Amazing. haha I felt like I was watching a PES animation.

[recneps456]

WOW! Very smooth animation and How did you get the lighting not to change?

[TrygveL]

there is no words to describe how awesome it is :)

Keep making them!

[FandSproduction]

That was awesome!

[ThumbsUpFilms]

Yeah man, you could go far with this sort of stuff :)

Smooth animation, interesting concepts, keep it up.

[ShadowSoulKeeper]

For a sec I thought this was PES's work

very well done

[funkymaniak]

WOW! This is really well done, PES would be proud!

[penguinboy247]

At first I didn't think I was going to like this one.

How wrong I was.

Wonderful video, some great animation.

Love your work man!

[jpatrich]

BEAUTIFUL! What an imagination you have. It was absolutely flawless.

[potatoes63]

just great. i swear everytime you make something it gets better.

[Budgiekens]

That was awesome! A really well made video. :)

[alphastick108]

cool

[KingofQuahog]

Dude you are awesome! you have got to get a movie deal lol:D

[nhmllr725]

This reminds me of PES a lot, but I'm sure you know that.

Anyway, that was really neat! It must have been really annoying to sculpt a different pancake/pencil for each frame, but it came out really well. I was going o say that it was like what they did with the faces in Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas, but somebody beat me to it. Didn't you do something like this before, though, with black foam tiles in a previous video?

[Mackmation]

Yes I did once before, nice catch. Yeah that one was called "Strange Apparition" with replacement foamcore squares. Thanks for the comment!

[SachinProductions]

thats exactly what I was thnking. It does remind me of PES.

[ohmygodfatherscat]

Wow! Definitely the best one I've seen from you so far (in my humble opinion lol)! Going in my favourites for sure :)

[ShikibuSan]

Wow! Very nice! O_O I am amazed and awed by your skills.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same style of stop-motion used to animate the mouth-movements of the characters in Nightmare Before Christmas? I recall watching a segment where they used a ton of different-sized mouths to make them talk. O:

[Mackmation]

Yes exactly! Yeah Jack had completely different heads for each mouth movement, and Sally had replacement faces.

Thanks for the comment!

[SachinProductions]

At first I was confused how you did that and then I figured out that it was clay. Am I right.

[averyme123]

all he does is claymations!

[Rhams3y]

This is why I am subscribed to you, great video.

[averyme123]

dude, i was about to type that, but i saw yours!

[knexpert5]

Wow, creative, and...incredible! How did you get the pencil to stand up on it's own?

[nukesnipes]

holy shit that was amazing man good job

[Nobotodoe]

Thats like yout best one yet! I loved it! Keep up the great work

[Mackmation]

Nice! Thank you!
