Any updates? This video looks like it is going to be AWESOME!

Oops, I was sure I did leave a comment here. This looks so promising; I love it when people really plan before they do something. Many people underestimate the value of preproduction, but obviously not you. I'm looking forward to see more. Also very nice score for the trailer, Ian.

Aaugh! I'm so excited!

This...is...awesome.

Pretty sure my love for you guys just tripled with the canorous strains of Bourne Vivaldi in the background.

Very smooth and catchy sneak peak. Can't wait...

Just watched the Production Video and... PIANO GUYS!! :D

Looks great! I'm looking forward to this. I dabbled in stop-motion animation a small bit when I was younger, and this has inspired me to perhaps take it up again... brilliant :D

That's some pretty stellar animation!

Sweet! I'm looking forward to another spectacular film! Thanks for posting the behind the scene video as it is great to see other animator's techniques, studio, and set-up. -LB Senior

You have a great technique going there, i have done that stuff before myself, and I know it is difficult, well done! Z

Oh, boy. This is going to be an epic for sure! I'll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled.

This looks amazing! I always admire the dedication used by those who produce stop motion videos, I'm not sure I would have the patience. The moves look epic. I love the swinging of the sword and the neat moves that Robin uses. I'm very much looking forward to the finished video, the trailer was not enough ;-)

Excellent work. This looks fantastic. :D

This is gonna be SOOOO awesome!!!

Holy cow, the animation is breath-taking, not to mention Ian's fantastic music!! Can't wait the see the finished from you and Max. Cheers!

This looks very professional! Nice work.

Awesome trailer, can't wait for winter! The animation is quite impressive, perhaps rivalling that of David Pagano. (Also, your voices both sound fairly alike, oddly enough...) What does that cord connecting the camera to the computer do? Is it just for uploading pictures, or can you use the computer to take photos without touching the camera? Anyway, looks great so far! (And Ian's music is also superb.)

sweet!

Fantastic work Paul! Your animation just keeps getting better. I also thoroughly enjoyed the BTS, and was presently surprised by the music selection (referring to the PianoGuys, of course). Thanks again for letting me play a small role in this incredible project. Toodles for now!

Looking forward to the finished epic.

Most impressive! It feels like I'm watching a behind the scenes commentary on a professionally done movie! Can't wait for winter!

wow, amazing! the stopmotion is so cool

Fantastic production! Loving the behind the scenes look at your design process!

I'M SPEECHLESS!!!! BREATHTAKING!!!! I have ever seen a video so epic with stop motion... Guys my best congratulation, this is something of special.

Wow nice trailer, can't wait to see it finished

Wow! Great job Paul! And (although Ian may never see this) great job on the epica music, Ian! Very cool. I can't wait for the final product. Couple quick questions: What is the orange strip behind Robin for? The one with the dots. Max mentioned you were going to render the whole thing with a background...does that have to do with that? And what program do you use for that. And finally, what program was up on your computer? It looked like some sort of stopmotion software. What was it? SORRY if that was a lot of technical questions but you graced us with a sneak peak and I have an unlimited character comment box! :D :D Just kidding. I am a rookie in the stop motion world and was wondering a bit more about how you did it. Fantastic movie so far!

Thanks for the comment Chris! The strip you see behind Robin, if it's the brown one I think you're referencing, is simply a forced perspective road leading through the gate. Although I may have to do a bit of digital post-production, I'm trying to do as much in-camera as possible, so there won't be any full-scale background replacements or composites. The green paper with the road is a bit brightly-colored because I am crushing the colors in post, and the bright green comes out correctly as grass once the colors have been desaturated. So far I've used two programs for shooting the film. The first one, (the one you see in the video) is simply a remote capture software. It's a software that came free when I purchased my camera, and it allows me to adjust the camera settings and shoot the frames without ever touching the camera. The other program that I'm using for editing is Apple's Final Cut Pro X. It's not built for stop-motion, but a bit of tweaking makes it great for pacing changes, basic editing, and color correction. I hope to see some animation from you at some point!

Wow Paul! I can't wait for the sequel! The introduction video is the best! Very well done! The behind the scenes one is extremely helpful! Great music, and can't wait to see the finished product!

Awesome sneak peak Paul. I can not wait for the final production!

awesome cant wait!!!
