You have no idea how helpful this was! Thank you so much! I will definitely be referring to this when I want to make another army men stopmotion! Everything was clear and concise, and easy to understand. Great job!
Thank you everyone for watching. For some reason the effects don’t show on screen at 5:07 but if you want to see the comparison just wait until I edit the audio in at 6:43 , at this time you can actually see the difference!

Thank you for your recommendations, I've just started with stop motion with army men and this helped me get up on my feet and start creating right away!
@Alex2794Stopmotions oh well there isn’t any specific amount of frames to have, it all depends on how long you want the video to be, that’s up to you to decide :)
UPDATE FOR ANDROID USERS: GunMovieFX is not available on the play store or any android App Store , it was removed because it wasn’t getting updates and was glitchy.
Good video, man! Btw, I have a couple of questions for right now. 1. Do you use buildings made out of cardboard? Or were those model buildings? 2. Would it be okay if we use custom characters from Hero Forge?
Thank you , the buildings I use are model buildings I bought on eBay and you can use characters from hero forge , you can do what you like with your stop motions :)
A very wondeful day to ya. Ho..... This video is such a help and a big tip for us to move forward to stopmotion, I am glad you even posted this. A lot of peple can relate to this and now I (or) WE know what to do when we create stopmotions. Thank you so much Mr. Green Soldier Productions for posting this!!! I use 8 fps and know I know what I need to do to improve (NO OFFENCE). You did wonderful though Mr. Green!!!!
This was really helpful thank you! I had a question about the Gun Movie FX app. Do they have explosion effects? I’ve checked the 10 pack extension but it doesn’t seem to have it. If it does have it which pack can I find it in?
Oh mate,I almost forgot,I have a one question,but not about stop motion,about army men.Do you think better buy expensive brand toy soldiers like Timme toys or BMC or even Airfix on internet,or better buy offline cheap toy soldiers?
I don’t have the two apps, I just have the stop motion app, so I hope I can still make the videos without the other apps, and thanks for the tutorial :D

When I use and shot and try to save my video so I can upload it to GunMovieFX. It won’t work because it says I don’t have enough storage. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks.

Hey there is some problems with the gun movies Fx my phone is a android and a new wich means that i Cant use gun movies Fx but i download from a site and it worked but then i tried to extract the movie i press the button and nothing happen the only thing that worked iš the muzzle flash adding feature and i tried to press the Norton to see how it well look still didint worked so cna you help me
Unfortunately i have never encountered the issue before, the android version is apparently super laggy and broken so it may have something to do with that, sorry I can’t help with that
I believe it is called onion skinning, all you need to to do is move the line down slightly on the left side of the screen, only works whilst taking a photo.
Sometimes if you take too many photos in a project it does start to lag, best thing to do is limit yourself to a certain amount of photos and then continue it on another project.
I have an Android. I found gun movie fx but it said it was made for an older version of phone so I could not get it. Does anybody know any other FREE visual fx app for a newer Android? I am asking this because I have a stop motion Chanel and I wand better visual fx
When your on your project in stop motion studio there will be a microphone symbol on the left side of the screen, click that and you should be able to record your voice
@@GreenSoldierProductions sorry for asking u again, but if that app dosent function on android(and u said that (or u get it from ios? but still), where u get ur efects?and that stop motion app that lets u see ur last move?
What I use depends on where I’m filming , if I’m filming indoors I’ll use a small ball of blutac , if im filming outside I’ll find some random small object to put under it
It all depends on what surface you are working on, if you’re filming on a table then you can use blutac, if you’re filming outside then you will have to dig the soldiers feet into the ground or hold him up with a stick and mask it out later
Great video! But I'm still kinda confused because I have a android and gun movie fx is only available on apple so if someone can give me apps to edit on I will really appreciate it

Question: should I use a single brand of army men making my stopmotion?
Entirely up to you man, although having multiple brands makes things more diverse, and you can have more unique looking characters.
You think you can do a review on other peoples stop motion videos
Thats a possibility, I’ll have a think about it

Hey👋 I was wondering where did u get ur trees I only have 4 one that has no leafs or anything but the other 3 have leafs and I’m trying to get more trees but I can’t find them cause I’m doin The Pacific Theater
I bought my trees on Amazon, search up minature trees and you might don what you’re looking for :)
What about muzzle flash? What did you use for that?
Use I use Adobe after effects at the moment. But if you’re on a mobile device I recommend GunMovieFX
Question how do you make the toy soldier move as it shoots.
Just do very small movements
Really wish I have gun fx cause using the editing app I use on my computer is so hard.
The stop motion part is fine but I got to add more gun clips on it and I keep getting the sound on the muzzle flash messed up.
Don’t worry you will figure something out
Hello, i saw a highlighting effect in your gunmoviefx, mind telling me what it is?
It should be where the muzzle flashes are located
Thanks bro!
Really needed that tutorial!!!!!
No problem

Glad it helps!
I have a couple question
1.How to fps
2.how to make stop motion in shorts
You can change FPS in the settings, also I usually upload shorts directly through TH-cam!
But how to stop motion in shorts?
How do you make the soldier fall to the ground without being choppy
With this clay I just slightly dig them into the ground, when I film outside I place a small stick behind them when falling, then change the sue if he stick every frame
Is stop motion studios recommended?
Stop motion studio is the best stop motion app that I know
So does that mean any.. stopmotion app i can use right?
Yep these tips apply to stop motion all together, so any stop motion app should work :)
So what do I use to move the toy army men?
Stop motion studio
But how do you keep your camera still?
Something like a Tripod does the job, the one I have is a micro tripod so it is very low to the ground
Hey i got question...so i am android user...do you have any tips for what i can use for muzzle flash and sounds...thank you😀❤

can u do the gun fx on iphone
Is there any alternative to gun movie fx for Android? If it is no other alternative, i will use capcut instead

You need to free up storage on phone by deleting apps, photos or other things
But i’ve deleted like 50 apps, but it still won’t work
Not sure I can answer this issue, all know is ghat you need more storage on the device
Ok

1:26 how do I make them look like they used the gun to shoot? My hands are so quick. Or I put it on a place where it can stand side ways slightly?

1:55 do I use the in shot for the animating or its another app or thing I don’t know I think it’s another thing I don’t know
