Transformers Stop motion ~ Drift Vs Smokescreen

Samurai Vs. Ninja ~ who will win? CLICK ON THIS V--- MORE INFO--- V


No cleverness, no ideas, just transformers.

statistics-
75 hours of work give or take. (50 shooting and 25 editing)
10,172 frames - 24 fps frame rate. due to repeats, however, It might as well be 12 at some points and 18 at others.
Shot entirely at night for consistent lighting purposes (although due to a crappy camera lighting isn't consistent anyways.)
I'm estimating around 230 sound effects. there was a BARE MINIMUM of 150 (some time through i made a list and counted how many).


Credits
Software - istopmotion, iShowu (screen capture), imovie 08 (enough with the iBlahblahblah...), garageband (for vocal effects). firefox for internet, i guess.

Music - first song - Bothersome Guys - mother 3 soundtrack - second song - sneak chamber - Samurai Champloo

sound effects taken from ilife '08 sound effects bank, as well as every tfcog sfx download.

shot with a zr850 dv camcorder
disclaimer: I don't own transformers or the music.


Apologies/rant:
i am sorry for how damn loud the second song is. No matter what i tried, it would not be reduced in volume. it was loud song or no song. The software could not handle the file size. when it was still in it's istopmotion form, it was 14 gigabytes.

i am sorry for how crude some of the sound effects are. Nearing the end, it took about 25 minutes per sound effect to be added. on average, it took about 3-6 minutes per sound effect. The first 20 or so were instant. that was nice

The file got so big. I was taking anything i could get. it got SO big, that literally every 3-4 sound effects, the system would crash. i needed to put a fan by my computer to keep it cool. even when i moved the mouse over the software icon, the mouse switched to the loading sign.

never before have i been so frustrated as making this movie. hopefully it doesnt show. rant rant rant. luckily for you all, i won't make known all of the struggles.


Take from it what you will, fools.
