- A stop-motion-animated action film with G.I. Joe action figures killing each other with guns, bombs and swords. It takes playing with toys to a whole different level. If you like fun blood and guts - check this short film out!

I can’t believe this is 15 years old. This was, and still is, the shit. Please never take this down.
Don't worry I wont! Thanks for watching all these years!
"Kick ass and don't look back!" Still to this day, the best G.I. Joe stop motion on TH-cam.
+Silent Wobby Thanks!!
+Jeff Gurwood are you still making videos?
15 years later it still slaps
Thanks so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed the movie for all these years. I actually made this in 1998. A small part of me hopes it inspired a new generation of stop motion animation in some way!
yes, Im making stop motion animation with my action mans because of this kind of action movies. I love it.
@@natter7686 Awesome! Keep this kind of animation alive!
Ive been searching for this nostalgia for years and I’ve finally found it! This is gold
Thanks for finding it! Sorry for the late response!
Seems like everyone else is returning to this video for a nostalgia trip, pretty sure if I look hard enough I could find some cringy comments I made when I was like 11 or 12. Hard to believe this video is more than a decade old, makes me feel old.
Haha I feel super old too! I started making this in 1998!
bigshexxy same
*_18 years now_* I miss OG TH-cam 😭
The greatest stop motion action figure movie of all time!!
That's the ultimate compliment! Thanks!!!
No problem. It's well deserved, sir
The song at the beginning is the "Covert Operatives theme song" sung by me.
A TH-cam classic.
Thanks!
You are a legend. You inspired me to do stopmotion.
A more classic video for a more civilized age
its older than that!
this inspired me once to do a gi joe film for film school and they were blown away by my film so thank you for making this
You are very welcome!
I watched this back in 2008 and it brings back a lot of memories. It inspired me to create stop motion of my own and don't worry I don't have a single one of them on my channel in case you though I was promoting myself. This is the work of a pure genius.
Sharad Reddy2 Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
RIP vintage GI joes. they will be missed.
I remember seeing this at my grandmothers house on her old computer... Time flys
Used to love this video when I was a kid!
wow. can't believe it's been over seven years since I first watched this. Looking at it again, it's almost like a stop-motion precursor to all the action channels on TH-cam. Freddiew and Corridor Digital are staples of the TH-cam action experience, but Covert Operatives will always have a nostalgic effect on me. It blew my mind (in literally blowing away the minds of its stars) and triggered an onslaught of my own stopmotion on good ol' Digital Blue Movie creator..memories, man. Memories. :)
I still come back and watch this every now and then. Love it
Wow, I remember watching this in my childhood and I collected Gi joes before I saw this, and it motivated me to get all the ones you collected and this animation is still so amazing and so greatly done. So much time and effort payed off.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it! Sorry for the late response!
BRC.
Before Robot Chicken.
:-)
What an incredible trip down memory lane. I must have watched this 50 times when i was 11 or 12. Thanks for keeping this on TH-cam!
Glad you still like it after all these years! Happy to keep it up as long as people are enjoying it! Sorry for the late response
I have no words for how much I love this film. This was probably one of the first videos I was graced with upon finding TH-cam when I was in elementary school and I can’t believe I found it today, like 13 some odd years later. Gotta say, it’s even better than before.
Don’t FUCK with the Covert Operatives.
Wow Thanks so much for the kind words! Sorry it took me a year to respond. I don't check this page often but when I do I love seeing these comments! Thanks!
"I'm good with computers and stuff"
amazing stuff of gold
Still my favorite after all these years
Glad to hear!
Saw this as a kid and loved it immensely. Still love it immensely. Thank you for the inspiration.
So glad to be some inspiration to you! Makes me happy! Sorry it took me 5 months to reply. I don't check this often
When was this originally released? Remember watching this YEARS ago.
Well, it's been on youtube since 2006 and before that it was on ifilm starting around 2001 I think.
Your a very talented animator
Jeff Gurwood can u do more videos
you still there ?
Oh man, this was one of the first videos I saw on TH-cam. TH-cam Classic right here! Hey Jeff, how old were you when you made this video, if you don't mind.
+ReaayZ Yeah! It's been on youtube since the beginning! I was 21 years old when I made this.
Lmao looking back at this from my favorites.. 2006. Crazy. This is a super well done video though lol
It popped into my head randomly, just now, glad to see it’s still up, I love covert operatives.
Thanks man! Happy people are still enjoying it!
2 years and it will be a decade old.
Actually... Covert Operatives was made in 1998. And it was first on the internet in the year 2000 on a site called ifilm before youtube. So it was one of the very first videos when there were only a few sites streaming short films back in the day! Pretty cool!
Jeff Gurwood damn..i was born in 1998! honestly u got me into stopmotion..and wow u replied me! wud love to see some more from you! waiting...
Sammeet Nimgole Wow, I feel like an old guy now! haha. I'm glad I helped inspire you to get into stop motion. That's really cool! I have a few other stop motions. Go to my website. It's Jeffgurwood dot com. Check out Last Randy Standing and Indyanimation. I'm also starting a new one now that will be ready in about a year! haha
this was 10 years ago
+MONOJKL Yeah it's been on youtube for 10 years. wow! But it's even older than that!
and it's a good use for old gi Joe
Thanks for being a fan for all these years!
I loved this when I saw it on some independent film website back in the day
This always reminded me of movies like Snake Eater(1989) and Broken Arrow. It's good to revisit the old stuff.
thanks for making this movie i really enjoyed it, and all the hard effort is appreciated.
One of my favourite videos of all time. You wouldn't believe how much of an influence this has had on me. Good work!
Thanks so much, Henry!! I appreciate it!!
Dang your sets were BIG! that was very impressive thanks for posting it I love this stuff!
EPIC! So much effort must have gone into this, the sets are wicked!
On Thursday 9/20, Denver had a GI Joe StopMo Film Fest. It was great getting to see "Covert Operatives" on the "big" screen. Congrats on winning best film with 3-3/4" action figures and on being one of the audience favorites.
Most of the guns came with the figures when I originally bought them back in the 80's. I saved them all these years.
Quality,really good scenes and character movement.excellent sets and funny dialogue.must of taken you days to complete.really excellent.
Really impressive. An incredible job. I look very good movements, special effects and decorations. And also your collection of action figures.
dude i loved the whole thing
the theme song rocks
the action is amazing
the comedy is side splitting
the behind the scenes ending is too funny
I can watch this over and over again.
This rocks so much!
Thanks a lot for doing it. :)
This was always my favorite stop action movie!
Just awesome, plain awesome. I loved how the wood crates starting coming apart from the gunfire. Great Work!
Oldie but a goodie. Love this flick I just love it!!
omg this brings back so many memories.....time really flys
i frickin love this! used to watch this in TH-cams early days. Truly Classic!
Just came back for mum daily dose!
10 years and going! I still remember watching this when I was 10. It really made me want to do stop motion with my toys.
Thanks!!
Fantastic work on the sets!
That is like the best thing my eyes have ever seen...ever... The Detail at which you wreck wooden objects is just amazing
this is such a 80;s hero film...LOVE IT!! MORE
this is one of the coolest movies i have seen on youtube!! i would like to see more like it.
lol i watched this first in 2006 going thru my old favorites
Thank you for this. I remember watching this a long time ago on a dial up modem. This video has been stuck in my head since I was a kid.
This film is great especially the part when they come off the elevator and I remember seeing this when I first joined TH-cam. I am surprised it is not at a million hits.
Thanks! I appreciate it. Sorry it took me so long to respond
This vid along with the last randy standing were the first two stopmotion vids I ever saw...Thnx to that I now have a greater appreciation for the innovative and unparralled thinking that stop motion animators put into their work...big ups to you XD
That was amazing! Definitely going on my favorites...
Great job on this. I remember seeing it on a different site years ago before TH-cam was even around. Still holds up.
Thanks! It holds up after all these years.
this is awesome the background,blood, awwww its crazy this is the best stop motion on youtube.
No matter how many times you watch it, it still PWNS on so many levels
Impressive... Most Impressive. A true master piece I say. I applaud the patience that was required for such a film. I tried makin my film stop motion but my patience ran super thin...but nuff about me ...This film rocks on so many levels , a great blend of action and comedy with a side order of overly vilent deaths.
Wow that was the coolest stop motion movie that I have ever seen!!
Glad I remembered the name of this and found it!! To this day I still use the line "I'm good with computers and stuff".
That's hilarious! Some of my friends say it from time to time too!
Awesome!!!!!!
This is some of the best content on this whole shitery.
Still remember this fondly when I was 6 I had no idea how I came across it but it was awesome
A real classic. Deserved a million views. You know how much work this takes. Well done!
Thanks! Who know why some videos hit millions and others don't. I'm just happy people still remember and enjoy it
2012 and this is still the best stop-motion I know.
love the effects and style how the video was made :)
btw nice music! Goodjob
Impressive...Most impressive... I applaud the patience required for sucj a movie...I had no patience when it came to making my movie...so stop animation was a no go...but enuff about me...This movie is wonderfully done. A perfect mix of action and comedy. Congrats, this is true gold.
Holy shit! I watched this so many times when I was younger on iFilm. This brings back great memories of the dial up period!
dude give you props .. this is pretty well done . nice
I feel old everytime I come back to this
This is even better than I remember. I tried to do something like this and failed under the weight of my own ambition. So I understand how hard this was on some level. Amazing, especially for standard def. The humor and music are great and I love the lighting.
Thanks man! This took me like 7 months to make back in the day. It was shot on 16mm film which may be why it still looks good. If you want to see some behind the scenes pics visit my website which is just my name dot com. Thanks again!
@@covertoperatives hell yes 16mm film I knew something was up! A wise choice!
dude you rock my world. this is what i've wanted to do my whole life.
that might be the best thing i've ever seen on youtube.
I watched it like 30 times cause it's so cool!!!
This is fantastic....AWESOME job !!!!
Hell yes! I remember watching this on iFilm all the time...
Really hope this goes into the TH-cam Recommendations some day and gets millions of views. Its a classic.
I hope so too! Thanks!
dude, pure greatness.
make more. with cobra guys too.
Oh man...watched this on Ifilm about 7 years ago? Classic, glad to have watched it again :D
Hey covertoperatives,
I saw this back on ifilm a few years ago. Just as funny as the first time I saw it. Well done.
This video is awesome! I remember watching it when I was in high school. This was probably 6 or 7 years ago now!
this is better than most hollywood stopmotions your amazing man
I've been messing around with a GIJoe stop motion but nothing this amazing. Great movie!
Thanks! Keep up the work you'll get better each time
@@covertoperatives thanks buddy I am definitely inspired by your work.
Someone catches on to that joke every once in a while. Thanks!
the best stop motion i ever seen !
Awesome !
"those actors weren't killed, their stunt doubles were!"
Amazing. Simply Amazing.
This was my favorite stop motion video along time ago.
Nick Rodriguez Awesome! Thanks!
Man this is dope, you should do more stop-motions this year.
I'm working on it!!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you love my movie so much. It actually took me about 9 months to make this movie including building all the sets and everything. And yes, I have seen Robot Chicken. You're right it is good stopmotion.
I have but two words, sir. THANK YOU.
Love the sound track!
Look mommy there's an airplane in the sky-good bye blue sky by Pink Floyd fucking love it
you guys should get an award for this, when are you going to make more!! I can't wait!!!
This video is the best G.I joe stop motion
+ZOMBIE SWAG Thanks!
I've got a bunch. They were all from my childhood back in the 80's.
