SmeagolTheGreat's THE KINGDOM (part 1) *re-release*

This is my biggest stop-motion project. It's about evil forces trying to bring King Artaher's fortress to fall. Fans of battle movies (like LOTR or King Arthur) will recognise many scenes and quotations ;) Shot in 2005.

Originally it was planned as an half hour movie in four parts, but for different reasons I was just able to finish the first two parts with a total running time of 17mins.

The version presented here is a re-release of the original movie, which had been taken down by YouTube due to copyright claims. 2011's "The Kingdom" comes with a completely new score and more advanced soundeffects. Also, there are 20 extra seconds of battle footage at the very end of part 2, which I didn't use back then.

Hope you enjoy!

Hm, geschichtlich gesehen spielst du wohl auf die englischen Kämpfe mit den Wikingern im 9. Jahrhundert an, nicht wahr?

Habe mich auch gefreut, dass "The kingdom" re-released wurde, und sie hat sich gelohnt.

[SmeagolTheGreat]

@ManuuJackson Naja, geschichtlich hab ich mir überhaupt keine Gedanken gemacht^^ Ist halt ein Mischmasch, und Teil 4 wäre dann sowieso eher Fantasy geworden.

Thanx :)

Wie viele Bilder stecken eigentlich in der Flaggen bewegung am Anfang?

Sieht echt toll aus da bekommt man glatt Angst das die Figuren echt aus dem Schrank raus klettern könnten :)

Wie immer Gute Arbeit, ich Liebe es !

[SmeagolTheGreat]

@EliteMarine3 Wenige Bilder. Hab ja damals keine Einzelbilder gemacht, sondern immer ca. 4, 5 frames lang gefilmt...Würd umgerechnet auf schwache 5fps kommen ;)

Danke!

Great episode !

You have lots of playmo I love your army at 7:36. I think it took you a long time to move all these armies. :)

[SmeagolTheGreat]

@Waffel22 Thanks! To be honest, I didn't really have that many medieval figures. Some of the shields in both armies I just made from paper ;) And in this particular shot I took the first guards, as soon as they where out of frame, and placed them (with different hair) at the end of the row, so they were used twice!
