Most of you may have seen my happy new year Toy Story stop motion, please check the video first if you haven't seen it yet.
Actually I came up with the idea of this video unexpectedly, I saw the Thanksgiving Special Videos of Toy Story then I was touched, inspired, memorize the pure love to my toys. So I wanted to create a special feeling just like toy story, which is the video you just watched.
the picture is the tools I used to use, Something like tapes, clay, pliers and holder.
All presents are just an empty box, fake gifts. I just buy a couple gift boxes by myself and just for the video ! Oh man it makes me cry..
All the starring toys !
Woody-from "Toy Story"
To avoid you guys think Woody is dirty, I only used this face for a few second in the vid. After all, he plays a kind-hearted version woody in this video ! At least in this one, I can't promise the future..
Bearguy- from"Gunpla Builder"
He was important to play a cute role in this video, I felt very happy when I was building it up, because it's very adorable with it's shape and bright color!
Ranko- from "THE IDOLM@STER"
I don't know her very much, I only know she is a character of a game and most importantly she is Pretty Cute!
The scene that she hold and rotate the knife was difficult, because it's very heavy for a little girl (figure), so I sticked a lot of tapes on her arm.
1:18 S-Class Couple- from "Mercedes Benz"
This good-looking car plays a role like the Big eyes Remote Control Car in "Toy Story"
Great model, maybe I should made a face for it to make it more positive?
Iron Man MARK7 (figma)
I do love figma series product (Here are 3 figma figure shows in this short video, see how I love them), but I was really unhappy with this Iron man's joint, it's too weak and loose, sometimes he just fall down himself behind shooting, that's drove me crazy !
I just tear the tape and record the sound and use it in the scene of Iron man&Woody tear tape together.
Optimus Prime -from"Transformers G1"
He is big and great looking, but I need to add glare when shooting it because it's color is too dark.
I used another knife cutting the paper and follow the motion of the toys.
Captain Levi -from "Attack On Titan"
Levi's appearance is unexpected, I was worrying about which character has the ability to make the spiral edge of the Christmas Tree, than I reminded the scene that Levi fighting Annie....
I : Umm...shouldn't be a problem!
Well it looks close to the Anime, though it's not perfect yet, but we were in a hurry so forget about the imperfect part !
Levi was shoot in front of Green Screen, then composited.
Of course this "Levi's Job" was done by me, this is how it looked before put it on the main part of the tree.
I put a small light ball in it.
So the tree is glowing, but it's a pity that the glow was not obvious to see because my environment light set.
Put on "Levi's job" and done !
Metal Build Gundam EXIA Repair -from Gundam00
It wasn't my plan to show him in the video too, but I think his GN-Drive can spread particles around the whole scene to create a better atmosphere. And I love it very much!
what do you think?
Ok so this is the behind the scenes of the video. I know it's a lone article, so I do appreciate if you read this patiently until here. I only spent 15 days to make this video, it might be my fastest record in the recent 2 years. Actually I was worried that no one is interesting in this video because it's not my usual fighting style, and combined a lot of different characters. But prove me wrong, it seems it's one of the most popular video in last 12 months, I do appreciate your supporting and I'll keep up the good works, thank you.
Best,
Jordan
