Nice.

Making an unarmored little girl take the front line, taking all the risk while you stay safe behind the door and your armor? Not cool, MISTER Chromedome.

Little too much camera movement between each pic, I'd say. Are you using a tripod ? If not, use one, and use the timer to make sure the camera doesn't move when you take the pic. Fun vid, otherwise, I have to say :arnval:

I second Shikaze; you really, REALLY need a tripod of some sort to do this kind of work. Also, I know it means more work, but I'd recommend increasing your effective framerate; your stopmotions are too much stop and too little motion. However, they're better than anything I could do; keep it up!

Sorry for the incredibly late responses. Yes, I do have a tripod but it's not the greatest thing in the world. Plus that was mostly done on the floor so I need a really short yet effective tripod. Right now, I am awaiting for several things to be completed so I can make more. I hope that with each one, I can improve more and more.
Also, I am using imovie and still learning how to use it.

Get a gorillapod, those things are just too good not to have one.

okay, this WILL be a dumb question, but where or how do you get the sound effects for your videos?

I essentially took them off of youtube vids I had copied and cut down the sound to certain and exact points. I am still learning how to cut and copy and save certain sounds and save them to a file so I don't have to search an entire say half hour long episode just for a few seconds of sound.

Can I just say you are epic! Can't believe i didn't think about the timer function to make shots more stable. Makes me want to try stopmotion again.

@ Royalpain- you are doing good, just keep up the good work! :arnval:
