[@Bigkiller2099]

Stinger11Studios nice

[@ToonBros]

Stinger11Studios yes I really ender guney’s channel. His songs are very helpful for my stop motions

[@haloscout496]

Stinger11Studios awesome vid dude

[@frankieval4357]

Patience

[@PigeonArmy03]

This is an amazing stopmotion but just saying I'm pretty sure the Marines are called imps not demons

[@mootroidXproductions]

Well done, that was intense.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Mootroid! You have no idea how much your comment means to me, you were the reason I started stop motion animation in the first place and where I am now. I remember watching The Final Stand almost 5 years ago. Thank you for being an inspiration and I am glad you enjoyed my work :)

[@Kilroy-xd7jp]

Hi

[@DafterThings]

Blimey. Another super-cinematic, story-driven animation.
Great stuff.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Dafter! Can't wait for your next stop motion :)

[@badlaxeanimations3205]

Better than mine, seriously, top notch

[@Stinger11Studios]

Nah I wouldn't say that. Thank you so much for the support badlaxe! Can't wait for your next film :)

[@bradtie7323]

Oh wow. Heh, pretty depressing. Even though these are just toys to be played with, you can feel the emotional aspect of the events occuring to them. God bless, and I hope you take your skills further as an animator. No matter what marine, hoorah!
-Brad

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Brad :)

[@11Survivor]

I'd just like to point out that the best a regular human can hope to be called is an Imp by the covenant. Demon is exclusive to Spartans.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Yeah Ik sorry bout that.

[@11Survivor]

No problem, great video BTW!

[@elizebethjarrett9065]

Elites show more honor then brutes do.
lore states Elites admire Humanity's Resistance and Strength.
Elites admired most is
when Marines and Spartans who stay behind to provide cover while the rest escape

[@veritech4884]

This is actually pretty good. You should start a longer project, say a Massive UNSC Base in ruins, and theres only Marines and ODST's left to hold out with one Wounded Spartan. Make it dark, make it bloody. But at the very end, pull out a Victory. Now THAT would be pretty fricken cool.

[@Stinger11Studios]

Great idea :)

[@TimotheosFraser]

I got a serious sense of hopelessness while watching this. This is quality stuff you're producing!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks Tim! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@breadman9081]

Stop motion is hard as hell! I truly respect those who do it!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks dude, it is very tiresome but the end result is worth it :D

[@Ryuudjc]

Man, the atmosphere in this is phenominal. Amazing job mate

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks for watching and for the support :)

[@WillsBrix]

amazing video man, music works amazingly and you told the story well using hardly any dialogue which worked well to keep the atmosphere and doom and illustrate the hopelessness of the situation. It goes without saying that the animation was great. Excellent as always my man

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks will! Yeah, I tried to make the atmosphere as hopeless as possible ;P I am so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@EliteiousProductions]

Amazing man! such a good Stop motion , the use of effects, music and everything, great Stuff!

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@IgorWig]

Great work!

[@Stinger11Studios]

:)

[@AXHawthorne]

It's sad to see the Covenant win but that's how most Battles happened on reach, Also I'm not saying it's really bad but, when the Elite calls them demons, there not called demons, only Spartans are called demons, and ODST are called imps, anyway I really did like this animation, keep up the good work

[@Stinger11Studios]

Woah, someone noes there Halo Lore :P Thanks for correcting me :)

[@kaisminis8980]

Knows*

[@flyinggruntstudio2631]

U should do something with a hunter

[@waccoon162]

Keep the amazing work👍👍

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks my friend :)

[@FloodMakerProductions]

this was amazing! I love your special effects! how would you rate filmora as a product?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Filmora is ok if you don't wanna spend a lot of money. I only use it for audio. 7/10. Final Cut Pro X, which is what I used for pretty much everything else, is really expensive but is an amazing software. Also check out footage crate, it has some awesome downloadable effects :)

[@FloodMakerProductions]

Stinger11Studios thanks

[@janoortizharoalvarez634]

No way this is awesome

[@Stinger11Studios]

[@bottlecapco.6670]

Stinger11Studios wooh

[@Rip_R4]

Thanks for making me sad

[@Stinger11Studios]

*:,(*

[@nateslegolife4186]

Awesome!

[@Stinger11Studios]

:)

[@zacimusprime4865]

Very dark and graphic great job as always👍🏻 so when’s this supposed to be set in the halo timeline ?

[@Stinger11Studios]

It's supposed to be after reach, but before halo 3. Around the time of Halo 2 on a rural planet that is not related to the game itself.

[@condor1923]

So this is the one you talked about from battleaxe

[@Stinger11Studios]

Yup

[@condor1923]

Thxs and great job

[@freddoproductions]

This is really good - really smooth and great lighting - loved it! May I ask how you created the practical blood effect at 2:45?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Freddo Productions sorry for the late reply. I used play-do and food coloring to create the effect. Although I would now recommend you use some fake Halloween blood, it works quite nicely

[@freddoproductions]

Okay thanks

[@kaisminis8980]

I might die of your smoothness animation and much more btw can u give me stop motion tips?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Haha, thanks man! Watch this tutorial. I know that it is for lego stop motions but it is very helpful and gives many useful tips and processes that I use :) ruclips.net/video/byhude3fzAQ/видео.html

[@kaisminis8980]

Thanks man

[@bigchungus8197]

I subscribed!

[@lonevigilant5372]

I love your vids

[@Stinger11Studios]

Thanks man! So glad you enjoy them.

[@eunicescarlettbrown5939]

[@WARHAMER-e5c]

Excelent vidio i love ❤️

[@BASSCANNONStop-Motions]

Christ it’s gruesome 😂😂 how’s you do that bloody effect when his leg blew up

[@Stinger11Studios]

:P Plato+Sticky tack+Food coloring=Gross

[@mike_klan4671]

Good job

[@Stinger11Studios]

Mike_klan thanks :)

[@chrisluong0852]

Watch your step people, otherwise something will explode

[@eunicescarlettbrown5939]

sad for the Marines but liked the video

[@Stinger11Studios]

Glad you liked it...I was going for a dramatic/sad feel :)

[@juniorgames4951]

Like good video 👍

[@AzurexTensho]

I wish I was as good at animation like you

[@Stinger11Studios]

Keep practicing man! You will improve each animation you put out :)

[@rathbunproductions5164]

How do you do that moving across your screen effect like it was a live action moment

[@Stinger11Studios]

You just put the camera/phone on something that slides, and then make sure the movements are the same each frame. If you are following the figure, try to have him in the middle of the picture, not matter what frame or movement. This will give it a nice effect :)

[@ceo661]

At 2:11 he gets sniped

[@owenschick7447]

Woah

[@Xspartan398]

That was..dark

[@Stinger11Studios]

:P

[@yourtherapist7788]

[@WARHAMER-e5c]

[@MasterChief-uu1pg]

Hey Stinger how you doing man? I liked the video Also is Valor 3 cancelled?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Hey dude I'm good. I have just been busy this summer so it's going to be a little late, I am finishing up the script, then I got to do the animation and then edit it :/

[@MasterChief-uu1pg]

Okay cool man.

[@rexfallenstudios7139]

This Is sad :(

[@Stinger11Studios]

:,(

[@RedHelljumper]

I really liked the video
Did you base it off WW1

[@Stinger11Studios]

Yep :) World war 1 with Halo characters.

[@theaisuperintendent3630]

If i was that sarg id hold the trench and send a marines the get the guns

[@0101-t7e]

Hello I'm going to start doing stop motions but I wanted to know if I should make or have other people make voices and sounds before the stop motion or after I finish the stop motion? Also where do you find people for voice acting?

[@Stinger11Studios]

Hey man! Voice actors are great, you can join our discord here discord.gg/cmrdXq . This is a discord server where a lot of great animators are on and a lot of great voice actors as well. They can for sure help you out :) I like to have Voice Actors do lines before the animation, so I know how to animate the figures with the emotion of the voices.

[@0101-t7e]

Stinger11Studios thanks you got a new sub 👍
