[iamsemjaza]

Excellent work!

[Lasoony]

You are seriously the best stop animator i have ever seen, you inspired me with your 'Magic Putty' video (Mine sucks), and now you have inspired me again. Thank you!

5 stars!

[MackProductions]

really appreciate it, thanks!

[psychofish25]

excellent job. do u have any gigs with this stuff?

[MackProductions]

thanks! sorta yep, I worked on a music video for the artist Daniel Johnston with an animation team from England, that was sweet.

[psychofish25]

oh thats awesome

[lukas4hendo]

your probably my favourite claymation animator on youtube..........well done

ur proving urself as being an animation god leader well done

-lukas4hendo

[MackProductions]

wow, thank you! seriously.

spread the word!

[jerkfacejosh13]

you sir, are a god at stop animation

i salute you

[MackProductions]

hahaha, wow. I'll take that :P

[jerkfacejosh13]

haha its just i do my own and there shit compared to yours, its truly amazing how detailed and smooth they are, what program do you use?

[MackProductions]

well thank you very much! I use Monkeyjam to animate and windows movie maker to edit. cheap stuff!

[sidmjam]

how do you get such perfectly fitting music for your animations?

do you pick the song and then base the animation around it or what?

anyway i think i've already commented but cool, i would be completely stuck for ideas with just a foamboard but you made it entertaining!

[MackProductions]

I animated the first 10 seconds or so, then just started editting it to various songs in my library. Strange Apparition worked well, so I just animated the rest with that song in mind, but not quite using the song as a deiding factor on what goes on in the animation.

Thanks!

[barros321]

love it

[Samiyagenyo]

I love your vids!!! great work

[StienStein]

Amazing just like all of your other videos.

[jbcooljb]

I love your work man

[MackProductions]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[IDontKnowCorp]

well...it was pretty cool, the frame frate was a little low though...

nice work as always anyway

[MackProductions]

framerate a little low? yeah I can see that, but I wouldn't really want this one any faster. The first half was 15 fps, the second half was 17 fps.

Thanks

[hboy007]

I can see the pile at the end and I must say: wow ^^

[MackProductions]

haha, yep.  25 4 inch x 4 inch squares, one 2 x 4 rectangle, and six 1 x 2 rectangles

[Songadoor]
