I'm excited to see all the brute vs elite action this time! I just wanted to say one thing as someone who entered last year, I think you could make it a lot more community friendly if you did the 'bonus' categories differently. Because last time they were all very similar to the actual judging criteria for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, e.g. best story, best action, etc. so they all just went to the runners up who missed out on the top 3, mostly well known and experienced animators (e.g. they have a whole youtube channel for it). If the bonus categories were either more specific or more separated from the main judging, it would allow you to celebrate the average community member, the amateurs who maybe didn't have the best animation but did have the best custom figure, or custom scene/location, or had the most unique character death, or the funniest moment, or the most emotional moment, or the best music use. Lots of ideas to pick from but you get the idea, stuff that any random community member can do without needing years of experience.
thats pretty hard to think of a category, the experienced people are going to be best at executing humor, set designs, emotion, audio, and death scenes too X.X
@@joe-vi7on Lol I know what you mean but you should have seen last year's contest, there were so many entries that didn't have the best animation but managed to do one thing better than the winners, or something unique that no one else thought of. Like one guy that made most of his location out of clay, so the whole thing could be animated and shift around like the flood.
Finally! I remember last year desperately rushing my stop motion mere hours before the deadline as I started late haha. Very excited to see everyone's submissions, good luck!
Simon, thanks for making my childhood fun and cool, your videos were funny and interesting. You got me into a hobby during the pandemic that I actually enjoyed. I did a lot with mega and unfortunately, I think my time is done. Keep cooking and motivating this community like you did for me, don’t worry I’ll still watch your videos.
Incredible! I was ready to give up this year's fest because of exams next month. My man the excitement I felt after you said 4 months. 4 months!!! I have so much time!!! Oh boy, count me in!!!
Knew this was coming up! Thank you Simon for the 4 month window, I had classes starting next week for college and was worried I wouldn’t be able to put out a quality animation when I would be busy, but now I got plenty of weekends.
So excited for this! After a whole year of planning my stopmotion for this contest, I’m very excited to put my ideas into a polished stopmotion for this contest. Thanks again for organising this contests!
I think, of course, anyone would enjoy collecting halo figures, and should continue their career and have fun, so I have a good amount of halo stuff, so any good luck guys 👍
it's that time of the year again, I hope a lot of people join the contest, maybe even more than last time. Hopefully I can make an animation and enter, not sure on if I have time to make something nowadays.
@thedomainhalo you are seriously my inspiration you have helped me keep myself centered and inspired me to continue my hobby. I lost a big chunk due to a storage company stealing them. I lost my mom in December and nowadays I just feel like a ghost. Every time I see you pop up a new video encouraging us to continue is honestly a highlight of my day. Hope you have a great time forward and keep being the best you.
Welp… now I have a reason to get the Halo 2 character pack so I can have some Elites and Tartarus. Might make something along the lines of a couple ODSTs sneaking around High Charity after being rescued by Chief during the Schism
is there any rules on how many people who live in the same home can join? like ur siblings. maybe related to that is if multiple people can work on the same entry.
@thedomainhalo so 1. Can it be more than 3 minutes? 2. Can we use other covenant figs? And 3.i don't have arbitrer or tartaus, so do I need to use those? I know u did say that there r some cheap ones on ebay or sum, but my fam doesn't have a lot of money rn and I only have a few brutes and elites, thank you Simon!
I dont know if I like CGI entering into the contest. I feel like it defeats the purpose of Stop Motion. Other than that I’m excited and good luck to everyone!🎉🎉
Out of curiosity, what’s the stance on using other brands/types of toys? Like… y’know… if I wanted to bring a certain group of Shapeshifting alien robots, would that be allowed? (I’d keep it on-theme of course)
Bruh I can't get any new figures or blocks to build backgrounds because they don't sell them in the UK 😭 I have to use the really outdated old joints figures and like Lego or something
I just found this video and realized a stop motion i just posted would've worked perfectly as a part for an entry... Oh well if i enter I'll have to re do it with a different approach
Now before I start are halo infinite brutes allowed? since their all I have. Other than that I’m good now to business: Boys you know the drill: gonna be posting this on my bigger channel twins turbo games. Here’s the basic plot: the human marine and the elite from last time are going on a mission to rescue some marines and hopefully some of the elites friends.

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

I totally agree. Hopefully Simon sees this and updates his judging criteria. Good luck brother!

I like this a lot! Stay tuned

Shame! I was hoping you would enter :)
goodluck everyone
I know we all got even odds of winning but ay whoever wants it more is gonna win
Now this is were the fun begins. Lets Genesong the hell out of this boys
I’m looking forward to the great schism animations especially now that there is brute honor guards to make it perfect.
HOORAH!
Good luck, competitors
it's that time of the year again, I hope a lot of people join the contest, maybe even more than last time.
Hopefully I can make an animation and enter, not sure on if I have time to make something nowadays.
With the window being four months long I really hope you can manage it! Your animations are always so incredible
We're so back
THE LIGHT IS GREEN AND WERE VERY VERY MEAN. LETS GOOOOOOOO
I do every stop motion video but not all
Wow
@thedomainhalo you are seriously my inspiration you have helped me keep myself centered and inspired me to continue my hobby. I lost a big chunk due to a storage company stealing them. I lost my mom in December and nowadays I just feel like a ghost. Every time I see you pop up a new video encouraging us to continue is honestly a highlight of my day. Hope you have a great time forward and keep being the best you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay strong and build towards a future that would make her proud.
Thank you that honestly means the world to me!
Hey I'm gonna try my best on this contest For this Stop animotion challenge
Good luck!!
Can we use the music from the believe trailer, but the complete version?
YES
“GODSPEED SPIDER-MAN”
Time to put the Phantom to good use!
Might have to come back for this one
DO ITTTTTTTT
Welp… now I have a reason to get the Halo 2 character pack so I can have some Elites and Tartarus. Might make something along the lines of a couple ODSTs sneaking around High Charity after being rescued by Chief during the Schism
What about The banished vs Swords of sanghelios. Ik it isnt the Great schism but it still would be elites versus brutes
Just Halo 2’s schism this time but you can use figs from any era :)
is there any rules on how many people who live in the same home can join? like ur siblings.
maybe related to that is if multiple people can work on the same entry.
Absolutely! All are welcome to collaborate or work seperately!
Can I enter a prequel to the animation I entered last year?
Sure!
🔥
i might do this
DO IT
I can’t wait to begin, look forward to what’s going to be produced, 👍🇦🇺🙏😇
Good luck!
mi momento ha llegado
Hope i get my story right. I was thinking about this thing
This is going to be my first time trying a animate a lit scared
GOOD LUCK! I’m sure you’ll nail it
May I ask a few questions simon?
Sure!
@thedomainhalo so 1. Can it be more than 3 minutes? 2. Can we use other covenant figs? And 3.i don't have arbitrer or tartaus, so do I need to use those? I know u did say that there r some cheap ones on ebay or sum, but my fam doesn't have a lot of money rn and I only have a few brutes and elites, thank you Simon!
I dont know if I like CGI entering into the contest. I feel like it defeats the purpose of Stop Motion. Other than that I’m excited and good luck to everyone!🎉🎉
Out of curiosity, what’s the stance on using other brands/types of toys?
Like… y’know… if I wanted to bring a certain group of Shapeshifting alien robots, would that be allowed? (I’d keep it on-theme of course)
Mega figures only but if you want a random cameo from a toy alien I wouldnt say no
I was already working on a another project I got to stop it now 😭🙏🙏
Maybe I should take a crack at one of these contests again. Maybe I'll win again
Really hope you enter!!
Am i allowed to make my own music?
YES as long as you clarify clearly that it's yours!
Bruh I can't get any new figures or blocks to build backgrounds because they don't sell them in the UK 😭 I have to use the really outdated old joints figures and like Lego or something
We have a private BST group for UK members! Dm me on Facebook if you’d like to join: facebook.com/simon.key.58
God speed everyone, good luck i got a idea...
😳
I want to join but I suck at stop motion
Practice makes perfect!
My first stop motion with mega wish me luck gents 👍
Good luck!!!
I just found this video and realized a stop motion i just posted would've worked perfectly as a part for an entry... Oh well if i enter I'll have to re do it with a different approach
I'm sure you can! Take the one you just posted as a test and figure out how to improve it!
The prophets have been silent since this has released.
Day something for asking for a halo CE marine
(I missed a couple days 😬)
Now before I start are halo infinite brutes allowed? since their all I have. Other than that I’m good now to business:
Boys you know the drill: gonna be posting this on my bigger channel twins turbo games.
Here’s the basic plot: the human marine and the elite from last time are going on a mission to rescue some marines and hopefully some of the elites friends.
Yes all types of figures are acceptable!
I have an idea...
Nuh uh. Aint no way I'm boutta make height scaled brutes just to have em' fight my elites 🤦
Heck yeah
Kids wanna do this I got a total of 45 figures idk if that'll be enough a lot are banished
You could do it with 2 figs! 45 is definitely enough :)
