I uploaded this video to address some viewer questions and show how some of the visual effects were done.

That’s really intresting to see how you did that! Green screen can be a really good tool for expanding your sets as ability to do certain things! This was a really well put together behind the scenes good work!

[@Duckpondanimations]

Good to hear you liked it. I hope it was informative

[@GoldPuffin]

This was a really interesting video, glad it clicked on the notification. Thanks for doing this 🙂🙂👍👍

[@gundstudio]

Agree. Shows a lot of working progress

[@Duckpondanimations]

Good to hear you liked it

[@DeDoGunpla]

man, you need more recognition than this.. =) i reaaly want to learn stop motion so bad.. can I request a in depth tutorial, or things you use like what is the holder of those kits, that would be so much awesome... =) again great stop motion... =)

[@herofreak]

I understood your work process while watching the making video.I'll try to make the next video based on this video. I'll look forward to your next video!

[@maty._.5056]

This is awesome! First a wonderful animation and then a making of vid? Just spectacular

[@PillowheadCreations]

I bet green spill on the white parts on the gundams was a pain lol

[@kajmar9368]

beautiful

[@XileH]

You’ve done an amazing job!

[@Deraiq2042]

This is awesome. Also, Zeek or Feddie?

[@Duckpondanimations]

That's a tough question. Zakus are really cool but the whole colony drop business is kind of nasty. GMs are nice too, but most of the top brass feddies are jerks. I guess I'd go with the federation. But I might be biased since I happen to live on earth

[@Deraiq2042]

Fair enough. Neither is morally right, but both have dope stuff. Also, where did you buy your gunplas?

[@solreavir]

Imagine a game that uses stop motion animation

[@Duckpondanimations]

I actually had an idea for a game that uses digitized stop-motion puppets as sprites. But that's just an idea. I have to stay focused if I want to finish my current game.

[@ToastyN202]

Where’d you get all the sound effects?

[@KKAkuoku]

I noticed an impact frame when the Gundam shielded itself from the Rick Don’s sword. How did you create that?

[@Duckpondanimations]

The flash is a drawn effect. The image of the robots was made by turning the saturation to 0 and the contrast to max. The flash and the robots were then added in front of a blank white frame

[@KKAkuoku]

@@Duckpondanimations I could’ve sworn that the whole thing was just rotoscoping😅
You actually have a really good handle on 2D effects animation. How did you learn to be so good at it and could you direct me to some good learning resources?

[@Duckpondanimations]

@@KKAkuoku I don't really know any resources to direct you to. I learned by making different animations over and over again to figure out what worked and what didn't. This is of course still ongoing, as there is always room for improvement. If I see a nice looking effect somewhere I try to examine it and figure out what makes it work. I watch a lot of older giant robot anime so that might be a good place to start looking. Also some videogames have pretty nice effects as well, so those are worth studying. I guess my advice would be to look up examples and practise. If you find any good resources on this, let me know, because I would also like to find a good guide on effect animation

[@dootdoot920]

amazing work, the best gundam stop motion i've seen

[@jonathannk1238]

1st

[@brickyboy8553]

not first!

[@gundstudio]

That was really smooth animation!

[@no.5jira]

i like it

[@justanothergymrat7718]

Are these gunpla master grade?

[@Duckpondanimations]

these ones are high grades
