[GEARSCOGCHANEL123]

[moviesSJ]

@GEARSCOGCHANEL123

Thanks heaps man! Unfortunately I don't really use this account anymore but check out my new solo work on my new account JessesWarMovies

[bigkanish3]

Wheres the solider, that gets his hat shot off, and then he turns around to pick up the hat, and gets shot again?

[moviesSJ]

@bigkanish3

Haha couldn't think of a way to do that without ruining one of my good soldiers :D

[noobhunter091]

dude its a bit chopy and you shake the camra to much

[moviesSJ]

@noobhunter091

Intended effect as I tried to replicate Saving Private Ryan

[SWI0001]

You've done the Pacific war...now do the European war....like battle of Berlin or something

Soviet T-34's storming thru the streets of Berlin.

[moviesSJ]

@SWI0001

This is European? France lol? But yeah that would be cool man. Ty

[SWI0001]

@moviesSJ Oh, that's right...sorry I only leant D/day (Operation overlord) was in france not long ago.

Always thought the US only were fighting in the pacific.

But yeah, try to look for the battle of britain and the soviets taking control of the reichstag (no I don't mean WAW) ;)

[moviesSJ]

@SWI0001

Haha no probs. They were also in Italy and Africa aswell.

[SWI0001]

AWESOME...BUT TOO SHAKY HERE AND THERE, AND THE FOCUS IS A LITTLE STUFFED UP BUT GREAT VIDEO BRO

[moviesSJ]

@SWI0001

Thanks mate, yeah it was quite hard to get the right amount of shake when its on such a small scale. And yeah, its because the camera wasn't HD or anything and I had to zoom in so far because of the scale

[TETracing]

This is actually really good

[moviesSJ]

@TETracing

Thanks mate :D

[KoDongEup]

@TETracing yeah but no effects

[yoursimpleenough]

[moviesSJ]

@yoursimpleenough

I just filmed in on the pavers underneath our house lol

[EDzzzzz13]

where did you get the boat or whatever is it??

[moviesSJ]

@EDzzzzz13

I just made it out of card then painted it

[horrorland01]

it been a long rime since i have watched this

[moviesSJ]

@emeeng7

Thanks man, I'm a bit past stop motion videos and more into real-life now, but hey, maybe I will make some more someday.

[MikeJarman]

Hey guys, great work on your video. I was just curious how you got so many views. I have a series I am creating and have one episode up called "Plastic Wars" available on my channel. I would like to get it out and about there, get people watching it. Did you advertise yours anywhere? Thanks

[moviesSJ]

@MikeJarman

Hey man. I have no idea how I got so many views, I made this when I was like 11 or 12 haha. I didn't advertise anywhere except telling a few youtube besties about the upcoming film. I suppose it just depends on how you word the title and tags. Cheers

[MikeJarman]

@moviesSJ hey dude. Pretty impressive for that age :) yea that's what I was thinking, but I don't have many youtube friends on here lol!

[WeiQiang97]

hahaha guys pause at 6.22 and you can see the word china hahahha great vid you have here dude you should make moore of them

[moviesSJ]

@WeiQiang97

Haha yeah I always joke about that bit, I like it. Thanks man, but I'm a little past stop motion now >.<

[Naddel1289]

[MrGNumber9]

hey, you're good at this

[jshawn777]

you know i was thinking of giving up on my army men series but your vid just reminded me why i started it in the first place, good luck on the cool video!

[moviesSJ]

@jshawn777

Haha thanks bro!!

[checkm8jm]

coolest shit i've seen. Can I borrow it for my project video? I really need some army men props for my war documentary. :D

[moviesSJ]

@checkm8jm

Thanks lol and sure, as long as the credits are appropriate :D

[inuformers]

I liked it but the stop motion could have used work but hey It's 10x better then what i can do

[moviesSJ]

@inuformers

lol thanks

[whsiriotx]

Im doing the same thing with my army men but not savcing private ryan , its just a d-day film

[moviesSJ]

@whsiriotx

Cool is it Omaha Beach?

[whsiriotx]

@moviesSJ yeh, saving pvt ryan is Omaha beach. im pretty sure

[Naddel1289]

@moviesSJ yes it is its from the film private ryan

[drifter9398]

You've just recorded the TV

[moviesSJ]

[ivanhomartn]

@drifter9398 you are right



[Warlord343]

[moviesSJ]

@Warlord343

As long as you've got movie maker and a good brain you'll be fine lol. Find out about stop motion, its really easy. I don't do this stuff anymore, I do real life vids on JessesWarMovies

[alldayeh123]

what song is this?

[moviesSJ]

@alldayeh123

They're just soundtracks recorded from SPR

[Roflcopter108]

add more frames per second FPS

[moviesSJ]

@Roflcopter108

cant really anymore lol

[horrorland01]

@Roflcopter108 you cant do that with a video camera not unless you use fraps and screen recorder gold

[horrorland01]

@Roflcopter108 witch is for a LAPTOP AND COMUPTER

[maxeeea]

good video but add fire works

[moviesSJ]

@maxeeea

Yeah, I've been dying to get some but I haven't found any, and I'm pretty sure firecrackers are illegal in New Zealand

[burnout541]

You should have called it "Saving Plastic Ryan"

[moviesSJ]

@burnout541

yeah but everyone uses that so I had to say something different.

[burnout541]

@moviesSJ Yeah.........Being different is cool......Being normal sucks

I PLEDGE THE ALLIANCE TO THE PLASTIC WORLD!!!

[thecoolvideos19]

what super market did u get the army men at

[Dauntless07]

I thought you put a lot of work into the set, and I like the pushing people around on sticks, and I like the explosion and what not, but the stop-motion is a little rough. This, however, is a minor complaint considering the quality of everything else. Well done. What brand of army men are those? I've never seen some of the poses.

[moviesSJ]

@Dauntless07

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Thanks alot! Yeah I have to admit my stop motion wasn't the best. I did this a long time ago. Check out 'Bunker Assault' on my new main account JessesWarMovies. I don't know the brand of army men, I just got them from the supermarket lol.

[horrorland01]

where did you get those army men?

[moviesSJ]

@horrorland01

Supermarket lol

[horrorland01]

@moviesSJ Witch one?!

[horrorland01]

@moviesSJ Witch one!?

[moviesSJ]

@horrorland01

It probably won't apply to you but they don't stock them anymore lol

[horrorland01]

@moviesSJ Curse them!

[moviesSJ]

@horrorland01

lol

[horrorland01]

This is the best even though you used sticks to move the army men in some scenes but it is still the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[moviesSJ]

@horrorland01

Thanks alot dude. Feedback like that means alot :D

[horrorland01]

@moviesSJ Your welcome!

[thecoolvideos19]

cool dude

[moviesSJ]

@thecoolvideos19

Cheers

[TheCoolstuff53]

Awesome dude make another one!!!!!!!!!

[moviesSJ]

@TheCoolstuff53

Thanks dude. If I do it will probably be on my main account JessesWarMovies. But yeah I'm a bit busy at the moment cause I'm starting to do more real life movies instead of army men now

[joseft30]

[moviesSJ]

@joseft30

thanks dude

[BigNorwegianBear]

aw u should have had some ketchup too especially at the beging

[moviesSJ]

[moviesSJ]

@szax800

cheers

[camocan1]

thats good

[moviesSJ]

@camocan1

thanks dude

[indianajones400]

haha im doing this to but im gonna use firecrackers to look like mortars

[moviesSJ]

@indianajones400

yeah i couldnt find any firecrackers lol

[ww2guy21342]

i think the 1st black time at 2:39 was ok, cause u heard a guy in pain, and it went black like the camera guy was shot and the camera was 2, nice touch, although it was a glitch :)

[moviesSJ]

@ww2guy21342

haha thanks yeah i guess its the best spot for a glitch when that guys screaming lol. originally the camera was focused on a guy who had his arm broken off so that was a shame is went black lol

[ww2guy21342]

6:22 i thought they fought germans, not their allies of china lol

[moviesSJ]

@ww2guy21342

haha yeah me and scott always joke about how it says china on the bottom of the guy

[ww2guy21342]

@moviesSJ really nice vid, did u realize it

[moviesSJ]

@ww2guy21342

yeah although its sorta pathetic with army men its gotta be the biggest effort movie yet

[ww2guy21342]

@moviesSJ well although it is with army men, it has to be the best 1 on youtube, really nice job :) and make tutortials on u made ur stuff :)

[moviesSJ]

@ww2guy21342

@ww2guy21342

added. thanks heaps dude. Add me on JessesWarMovies, you'll be seeing some awesome vids on there soon as I'm prioritising with that channel. I'm building heaps of props like wooden guns and stuff to make real life movies in the future when I get my reenacting gear

[ww2guy21342]

@moviesSJ cool



[ww2guy21342]

@moviesSJ friend me man

[MultiMurzilka]

Yeah.Good video.but where you get stuff?Hm?

[moviesSJ]

@MultiMurzilka

well i just bought the army men. the LCVP, Pillboxes and tank traps were all homemade. To make the actual set i used bucket loads of sand and dirt

[ThePavlik13]

great vid! where did you get the stuff for d-day

[moviesSJ]

@ThePavlik13

cheers, the anti tank traps, landing craft, bunker and shed were all homemade. other than that there was just plastic army men and a whole load of dirt and sand

[baddetter]

that was cool

[moviesSJ]

lol thanks :D

[jsteve555]

can pls tell me how to make the tank traps and bunkers

[moviesSJ]

the tank traps are craft sticks glued together in the typical tripod type shape with P.V.A. then I dipped them in brown woodstain. The bunkers are made from the cardboard of a cereal box. I just drew out a net with a pencil of the bunker, cut it out, folded it then painted it

[loliamapie]

lols you can use stop motion but still it is a good video

[moviesSJ]

i did use stop motion... lol

[moviesSJ]

my stop motion skills weren't as good as they are now though

[justforever96]

One of those army men had a Sten gun...that's inaccurate! Where has all the quality gone? LOL. I was just thinking, this would be cool if you made up your own storyline. But then again, where would the soundtrack come from? Oh well.

[moviesSJ]

u expect me to spend heaps on some accurate ww2 d-day us infantrymen lol? :P

[justforever96]

LOL, fuckin' awesome. Showing next:

"Army Men- Pearl Harbor"- 6:00PM

"Army Men- Enemy At The Gates"- 8:00PM

"Army Man- Patton" 9:30PM
