@@potatoboi2194 I was way more optimistic ten years ago! At one point I sold it to a web company to be a series but it fell apart. So it kinda died. If someone out there wants to fund it, I'll make more!
@@covertoperatives HOLY CRAP YOU REPLIED I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS VIDEO YEARS AGO ON REPEAT LOL but yea man nice to see ur still alive haha also rlly sorry hopefully someone will fund it one day anyways u have a good one and thanks for the childhood memories!!😁
@@potatoboi2194 I'm still alive! My 6 year old nephew just discovered it and watches it on repeat too! It must fascinate kids haha Happy to provide childhood memories!
We'll see. Maybe one day. I'd like to. I even wrote a 12 part story. But it's expensive and takes a long time to do. I'm working on another short right now that will be finished sometime in the fall.
I don't have any tutorials but if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them for you. 24 frames per second is the best but it's very difficult with small action figures. I mostly do 12 or sometimes 9 if I need to.
I laughed my ass off when they just started beating the piss out of each other. I assumed at first it had something to do with the chick they were nailing.
@pickledpigfeet Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It took about five months to make working about 3 hours a day. I used Marvel Legends figures which I repainted.
I changed the entire beginning after the opening titles and tightened up some of the dialog to make it flow better before the fighting starts. You'll notice the countdown clock and rewind sequence is new. I just made it a little better.
The kitchen cabinets I bought at a dollhouse store. The rest I made out of regular art supplies I found at the craft store. Cardboard, balsa wood. Nothing too crazy.
The longest movie I ever made was 25 minutes long. When I moved to Hollywood, California I had a very hard time getting people to watch it because they said it was way too long. My agent made me edit it down to 14 minutes but I was told to tell people it was only 11 minutes. That movie is Covert Operatives. I have meetings all the time and they want 5 minutes or less these days. Making an hour and a half movie is not a good idea. Very few people will watch it. Just my best advice. Good luck.
All the sound is added after you shoot the pictures. I assemble the frames and do the audio in Adobe premiere but there are many different programs that do the same editing work.
Yes, you take a picture, move the figures slightly, take another picture and so on. That is right. You can experiment and get better the more you practice.
The truth is I haven't worked on making a 2nd one yet. I have been focused on other projects. I'd like to make more Randy movies someday but it probably won't be in the near future unless somebody decides they want to fund the episodes. If money showed up all of a sudden, then I'd be happy to continue the story.
I'm not sure everything that Audacity does. You need a program where you can watch the video and add audio tracks in a timeline. A basic video editing program would work fine. Can Audacity do that?
Hey, just wanted to say I watched this every day when I was 10yrs old, it felt like it was yesterday feeling nostalgic and makes me sad knowing that time goes by easily. So thank u sir for your videos that made my childhood it was really fun
Am I seeing things or is the resolution a bit better on this one too? I've said it once and I'll say it again; I just love this stop mo film. It's well written, original and very inspirational to someone like myself who is just starting out with stop mo. Please make more! Thanks for the art and great film once again, man!
Hey man thnx i really apprectiate it oh god u r so lucky and artistic i really want that figure thnx again and that stop motion is just wow !!!!! And the best part for ne is when rabdy, whatever was bitten in is stomach and u showed that intestine coming out by noodles that was awesome and thanx a lot bro lol:):):)
Glad I helped start your love of stop motion! I still do stop motion. I've been working on a project for 5 years. Hopefully people will get to see it soon.
For those who are wondering the figure they used for randy are from marvel legends the figure bullseye the villian from marvel he painted on them you can see on there heads the bullseye the bullseye has on his mask

Damn it has been 8 years since I watched this. I remember when I first watched this when I was really young. Good times.
Thanks! The figure is a Marvel Legends Bullseye that I re-painted.
Glad you liked it! I'm actually working on a different stop motion movie currently. You might see more Randy one day in the future.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the background and the nuddle guts.
This video was one of the best videos ive watched back then! SO glad i found it again!
Thanks a lot!!
Thanks! I appreciate it!

Thanks so much!! I appreciate that!
i love this stop-motion.
I didn't get tired of seeing it over and over again
I love hearing that! Thanks!
Finally found this video, thanks fo the memories
No problem!
That's great! Glad you enjoyed it!
I laughed my ass off when they just started beating the piss out of each other. I assumed at first it had something to do with the chick they were nailing.
David Ordus bom demais
Very impressive. The attention given to all the little details is awesome.
Very creative at the noodleguts 👏.
Awesome stopmotion Jeff Gurwood!
Thanks!!
@NikeDC4111
I use a canon D35 slr photo camera. I made most of the props. The rest I bought at a dollhouse store. Glad you liked it!
Bro the memories I remember watching this at 9 years old
Glad you still like it all these years later!
Thanks so much!! That makes me happy.
I am surprised that the green Randy survided taht many stabs.
n o s t a l g i a
But there is no part 2
Dude, I just watched this again, and im gona put a link on my FB, this was so sick, cant wait til the next won.
TE VI HACE AÑOS Y POR FIN TE ENCONTRÉ 😁😁😁😁😁😁😆😆😃😆😃😁😄😆😄😆😃😁😃😃😁😁😃😄😆😃
FORMASTE PARTE DE MI INFANCIA.
The 2 part?:c
@pickledpigfeet
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It took about five months to make working about 3 hours a day. I used Marvel Legends figures which I repainted.
I still think I might one day have a part two
I have no idea about stop motion pro. I've only ever used Adobe Premiere pro to edit my movies. Any video editing program can do it.
@Assassin1922
Which song are you curious about? The punk rock stuff I wrote and the driving song is the SWAT tv theme.
Thanks!!
I changed the entire beginning after the opening titles and tightened up some of the dialog to make it flow better before the fighting starts. You'll notice the countdown clock and rewind sequence is new. I just made it a little better.
when are you going to make part 2
Hopefully some day!
make another
The kitchen cabinets I bought at a dollhouse store. The rest I made out of regular art supplies I found at the craft store. Cardboard, balsa wood. Nothing too crazy.

Hey Man thanx but pls can u upload a video on how to make that custom bullseye or tell me
For the anniversary you should've remade this or made a sequel
I'd like to make another one day!
All the sound is added after you shoot the pictures. I assemble the frames and do the audio in Adobe premiere but there are many different programs that do the same editing work.
I rmb first seeing this ... memories
That's good to hear. Let me know how it works out for you. I'm here if you have any questions along the way. Good luck!
Hopefully one day if a site is willing to pick it up as a web series.
it's so cool how you do it
Yes, you take a picture, move the figures slightly, take another picture and so on. That is right. You can experiment and get better the more you practice.
I bought the guys on ebay and a lot of the furniture at a dollhouse store.
Buen video de que juego es ese personaje
That was crazy awesome! Excellent work!!!
The truth is I haven't worked on making a 2nd one yet. I have been focused on other projects. I'd like to make more Randy movies someday but it probably won't be in the near future unless somebody decides they want to fund the episodes.

Hello ;) Fantastic work. Really entertaining, funny, and full with surprises. Love the creativity, the fine animation, and the effects. Thank you ;)
Very amazing work bro

@scareglow77
Thanks a lot man! I appreciate it. Yeah, I think the resolution is better on this one. You are right.
I just bought the figures and repainted them. That's the entire secret. I bought the paint at the art store.

@JF3174
The blood came that way but you could try red food coloring.
How did you get such detailed little furniture for the video? It amazes me the most.
Some of the furniture I made but most I bought at a dollhouse store. Sorry I didn't have a more impressive answer! haha
