I Finally Did It! I Made a Tutorial for my Custom Figures!

After two years, I finally decided to make a brief tutorial for my custom figures!
800 pictures taken at 24 FPS. 8 and a half hours spent on animation (not including editing or tutorial) Created on an iPhone 11 ProMax using Stop Motion Studio Pro. Edited video with Adobe primer pro.
After I started really getting into Lego stop motion, I was never planning on animating with these figures again. But out of nowhere, after two years of being uploaded, all of my custom figure videos blew up. I had countless comments asking me to make a tutorial! I was never planning on making a tutorial because I feel the figures are not ideal for stop motion. But I felt I could not ignore the over 170,000 views that all of my custom figure videos have accumulated over the last week!

[@Loft_Studios]

I was planning on just making a tutorial for the new Lofty figure. And after nearly completing the video, I found out that almost everyone was more interested in the old Lofty figure! So I went back and added him to the video.
I still feel the new figure is much better. It’s more to scale with Lego and Mega Construx figures, and it has a simpler and cleaner look. But that’s just my opinion.
Thank you all for your support and kind comments! You’re the best!!

[@IBClips7]

Yeah man, the new lofty is new and improved 👍

I am the best lol

[@shatter_point]

YO please make a full version of your outro

[@gaelgarcia6933]

Question: if you dont have stiky tac how do you add the head?

[@Loft_Studios]

I originally used clay. But sticky tack is cheap and useful for a lot of other aspects of Stop Motion.

[@PinkPokemon574]

Personally I think that the old figure looks more stylised and cooler, despite how unconventional it is for stop motion. It is also neat to finally see the figures that you made being used in a recent video.

[@Loft_Studios]

Ya, it was crazy to pull these guys out and animate with them after two years!

[@brittanykey7977]

Tutorial please please please I want to see how you made that because if I made one, then I would use cardboard or paper pumpkin or jack-o’-lantern

[@PinkPokemon574]

@@brittanykey7977 Wrong person buddy, I didn't make the figures or the video.

I liked this. It's like a stikbot, but made out of paper, cardboard, and pipe cleaners instead of plastic and bungie cords.

[@KingDrakoTyrell]

Better than a stickbot in my opinion

[@Mikemegabyte]

[@RunBotChimken]

Yessir​@@Mikemegabyte

[@Grimlander]

Stick bots were my childhood just the mention brings back memories

[@GamebirdTheGamer]

@Grimlander There's still youtubers who do stikbot animations (myself included). Stikbot may not be as big as it once was, but it's still is making products and has people making animations to this day.

[@ObedC.]

I understand the whole custom figure animating pain, after I had seen yours for the first time I decided to make on for myself and now, after seeing this video i realized a couple things, first of all I built the whole limb system wrong, and second of course was how hard it was to animate. Maybe I'll try building it the "right" way...we'll see

[@Stinky0368]

Bro, I just found this stuff not even thinking of something like it, saw the 2y old trailer, and your voice was so goofy, now it’s a lot better

[@RED_robert461]

I really enjoyed it a lot thanks for this video however I was also thinking of entering the world of animation

[@LaweMajid]

This is so smooth man keep the good work❤

[@Bulldozer0330]

I randomly got recommended a vid of yours that was 2 years old...and i immediately fell in love. take a sub.

[@priverbars782]

[@user-ko4cs8ib7c]

[@dirtdirtpoe6710]

[@DibbleTheGreat]

The facial expressions are perfect

[@TacticalDumbas5]

I don’t know why you suddenly appeared in my recommended but damn, I’m so glad you did. Keep up the great content! Also for a figure like this, I did a larger scale one using the ball and socket bricks, but it was sooooo hard to keep in one piece.

[@Elicrafts2024]

Now we need a mechagodzilla tutorial 😊

[@NerdInTheAtticProductions]

Looking forward to the Lofty bar fight.

Somehow, the oldest video in this character video line got suggested to me.

The algorithm has blessed thee with the recommended section for many. Be aware that this may no longer occur in the future as RUclips is made of stupid and some people are rotted in the brain.
In other words keep doing stuff that interests you no matter what. You’ve made some marvellous work

nice

[@Lookingforlore]

I have a suggestion, upgrade your current custom figure with magnets to give it more mobility and possibly make it less of a pain to animate with

[@isabelsantos4113]

Now I can make my own figure now
Thanks
Now I just need gorilla glue, cardboard and the Lego studs

[@GasMaskProductions0]

I will now proceed to make an army of them.

[@Loft_Studios]

Send me pictures!

[@a_creatorsstuff17]

Honestly, im more interested in this just as a posable reference figure for my art/animation, so i dont care if its tough to animate

[@Kirbystarr]

I do it with lego thank you for tutorial
