this is probably my favorite claymation video of yours so far hahahaha. It made me laugh

[TheStopHaloMotionist]

hey dude, what clay do you use?

[SKODWARDE253]

<3 the noises. can you tell me what they're called?

[BubbleCloudFilms]

So I'm assuming you go to SCAD, how is it as a university? I want to go there for film, and maybe animation or something like that, and it seems like a great school! How is it also, in terms of the area? thanks!

[Mackmation]

@BubbleCloudFilms It's a good school. It's really pricey, but no matter what, I'd say apply and show the best work you have as they give out decent scholarships to those with good grades and good artwork. The Savannah area is cool, and the Atlanta area is as well. It depends on if you want to live in a big city, or a more spread out location like Savannah. Savannah was the right choice for me, and definitely study abroad at some point if you can, Lacoste is amazing.

[BubbleCloudFilms]

@Mackmation What kind of artwork and/or film work are they looking for? I always used to make comedy stuff, but I'm starting to look into other genres and such as far as film and animation go, and I'm not sure what their take is on it. Thanks again!

#CUTE !!

[rambodan11]

Amazing work man, but have you ever played the game The Neverhood? You remind me so much of that game.

[WtfWeMakeVideos]

Like ZooBomafoo XD

[xSpiritCatcherx]

Kicking animation!

I'm attending SCAD in the fall & rather jazzed about it XD

[Mackmation]

Hey. I would say the best choice for you is a cheap MiniDV camcorder. You can find them around $150.00 online. You will also need a Firewire cable, either '4pin to 6pin' or '4pin to 4pin', depending on if you have a desktop or a laptop. Monkeyjam is the best free program I've used, that works well with miniDV camcorders. Good luck!

[Schquid]

Thanks, ahaha, this conveniently helped me too!

Thanks!

Keep be awesome! :]

[TheJodoChannel]

@Mackmation I'm also 12 I would love to know what computer software to use for stopmotion. (I have a mac)

[Schquid]

Thanks Mack for the quick respond!

See ya around.

[RollerMew]

@Mackmation where do you buy the clay you use?

[Schquid]

Very nice & smooth!

What camera did you switch over to?

[Mackmation]

Thanks! I now use a Canon Rebel XS dslr camera.

[virtualwenrog]

Awesome claymation and great sound effects, did you finish this all by yourself? I might be doing something like this soon. Was it hard trying to finish it within 24 hours?

[Mackmation]

Thanks! Yep, all myself within 24 hours. Yeah it was intense, the 1 hour nap I had during didn't really give me much extra energy, I was exhausted.

[DanielQkillerD]

wow very well done!

very original indeed!

5*

[ThreeCheersForBryan]

[crawfordsjamie]

[crawfordsjamie]

[DramaTiqq]

[takyin23]

where did you get the sound effect?

[Mackmation]

My school has a program called Sound Minor, it's a whole sound database they have rights to, so I used that.

[TheClayman2]

[OlyAnimation42]

[Spinderfly]

This totally deserved the award it got. 8D Great work, man!

[penguinboy247]

This was fantastic!

I really loved the idea a lot.

Very professional, keep up the great work dude!

[tamerthelame]

dude ur so good and so unappreciated on youtube for it. nice job

[TheClayLord]

Really simple and fun which gave it charm. Working with a harsh time limit is always pretty stressful but also makes you work in ways you wouldn't normally.

Congrats on the win as well!

[Mackmation]

Thanks Max. Yeah the time limit helped in just going with quick ideas that worked. Haha, just 2 tiny sketches as storyboards, and I was off to building the clay set and animating.

[heroicham]

omg dude that was great keep up the good work man!!!!

[nhmllr725]

You had to do this in 24 hours?

Anyway, that's really neat. The way the blue-dude poked his head out from behind the tree was endearing.

[BlueBerryFTW]
