Wow, this is really good work...nicely done. The scenery and effects are very well thought out...great to see a classic battle with megs and prime. Awesome!
That was good wok. I like how you mixed and matched Autobots and Decepticons from different lines. (I have that Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Soundwave, and revolver-Megatron.)
Ah CRAP! A Tranformers fandom contest that you can express through the magic of video and I MISSED it! >:P
I agree with FooFooTheClown. Nothing to take away from this vid itself (which is very nicely done), but Transformers is supposed to remain in the realm of metal, not alternative.
The lead singer of this band needs a losenge like NOW. Singing like that went out in the early 90s for crissake. I thought only people in Guantanamo Bay made tortured noises like that.
Sorry ya don't like it... no need to be mean about it. These guys were nice enough to allow me to use the song in my contest entry. And I like the sound, another reason I used it. Thanks for the comment, but a little more constructive criticism goes a longer way.
That said, your entry isn't really being knocked. Even though they might as well be singing about ghouls, bats, or how bad their alternative teen live sucks, they're singing about Transformers instead, which is what your animation is about. Don't take it so personally.
Ahhhh... That's one of the new Transformer remakes, how they're using 2007-8 vehicles, it's the Dodge Ram version of Optimus Prime... eh, I though it was Die Cast, but it's plastic, and very loose joints. Not the best Prime in the world, as you can see.
Very good, sometimes its hard to do stop motion with figures because they may fall over or something, but over all good vid i dont like the choicew of song though the actual Transformers theme would have been better, Good vid 5/5
Thanks, appreciate the comments. Indeed figures that aren't so articulated aren't the easiest actor in the world to direct either. Trick is, shot that have some of them off screen means you can hold them in place. Walking shots sometime require putty or clay on the feet to hold them in place for a second.
I'll have to disagree on the music, I have found it to grow on me, and like any other variation of the original, its just another way to express love for the Transformers. The guys from Black Lab have put together a nifty song, in my opinion, and have been super supportive of this video. I am glad that you enjoyed the rest though, can't please everyone, but thanks for the comments, always good to get feedback.
Indeed, it's about 26FPS... I'm working on getting 33FPS (I heard the standard for animation) So hopefully the new Transformers Shorts I make will look a little more smooth then above. But thanks for the comment!
Thanks! Took about 4 days off and on to make (film, photoshop, get the music.) It was my second project over a minute long. When this was finished, I had been doing the stop motion stuff for only 2 weeks. That makes me feel like I'm doing a great job for just starting out, and can only get better. Thanks a lot for the comment!
I was trying to see if the contest was still going and couldn't find details of it anywhere on G4TV. I was hoping to submit something too if the end wasn't until tonight. Do you have a link that works to get to the details and the upload page? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

But I used Monkey Jam and AVI Editor for capturing and editing the movie.
