Gundam Stop-Motion Battle!!

My first genuine attempt at a fight scene in stop motion.


Music:
Iron Monger
Arc Reaktor, both from the Iron Man Movie Soundtrack

Strike and Aegis - Gundam Seed

All music and characters are obviously property of their respective owners. In other words, not me.

EDIT: Sounds effects are recorded from G Generation: Cross Drive on DS. If you need some, send me a message.

DOUBLE EDIT: Over 9000(!!!) views?? Kick ass, Thanks for watching, everyone!

How did you use the cotton ball effect ( can make a tutorial)

[DanTheManCalter]

@SakunuX824 Well, double sided tape helps a lot. For the most part, just take a cotton ball and pull and shape it to your liking. When you have the shape that you want, just put some tape on the section it's being attached to and there you go. Be sure to either change the shape of the cotton between frames or swap it out for a different piece for more realistic gunfire effects.

[DanTheManCalter]

@DanTheManCalter Also, be sure to mark the position of your figures. The wobbly GM in the beginning of the video came from poor positioning, and it looks awful. Be mindful of that and don't forget to just experiment. Cotton balls and tape are cheap, so don't be afraid to remake something if it doesn't look right.

What was the name of that Mobile Suit that got it's shield, right arm, and head shot off in the beginning? I would like to buy one. :D

[DanTheManCalter]

@Etrius17

It's an HGUC Cold Climate GM.

hey next time add some light

[DanTheManCalter]

@touchengo1

It is rather dim. The unfortunate part is that that is with every light I have at my disposal turned on. My room is just really dark. Next time I make one I'll shoot it all during daytime.

Exia is a muthafuckin boss

[thechapmaniac4]

Yeah! I love Exia!

[thechapmaniac4]

Using fluff and straws was clever. Although you could've gotten your finger out of the shot. Good video! It was nicely done!

[RizerArcain]

Woot! Go Exia! Great job on the filming of this!

[GundamDB]
