Good stuff, Cap. This was great for Beginners on a budget and Experts looking for new ways to do this. If I may add, if you can't afford a camera but you have a cell phone and a pair of ear buds with the volume buttons, you're good to go. Set your phone up, you can get a cheap cell phone tripod at Walgreen's for $10 (or make one out of a cup or something), then plug your headphones in and turn on your phone's camera. Make sure the focus is locked on your subject and press the volume key on the headphones. There you have it, a camera with a remote shutter on the cheap.
Another tip I would like to offer is that since it's your (referring to any newcomers) own figure federation, you don't have to stick exclusively to wrestlers in the roster. If someone wants to put together a federation with a mix of both wrestlers, superheroes, monsters, and anime characters as part of the roster, then make it so.
High Light use iMovie you can do it on like iPhone or iPad. On android, best to use KineMaster. To get music and avoid copyright most of the time I just record the song from like a Bluetooth speaker or a laptop or something. To use your own commentary just record your voice on which ever software you’re using
Thank you cap I feel this helped me better with what I’m doing I have a suggestion to people use a box lid then use the small rings ropes and turnbuckles and cut holes out
this video came at a perfect time for me, as im in the process of building a roster and ring for a stop motion fed, biggest issue im facing currently is a lack of space for a set. i might just elevate a table like you have! great video as always!
Thanx brother . I appreciate it . Most of the other channels like this i get a "stuck up" vibe from . You seem like we would be friends in real life lol ! not sure but i assume you like metal/rock/punk etc . No matter . Great insight on the cheaper way to go . Which helps me ! Heh . Could you recommend a good site to find Elites loose for decent deals ?? I LOVE customizing and creating my own grapplers . thats my deal . Retail in my area sux to find figs . Everytime i go , 3 Aj Styles and 10 Cena Basics LOL ! Never even seen an AEW fig !!! Anyways thanx bro
Finding elites online, if you’re trying to make custom figures I’d say check eBay for fodder lots. I don’t really know where to get complete figures cheap aside from buying them at retail.
i been thinking about making some stop animation to but not for sure just yet i been playing around with it for a few weeks just to see how to make it and stuff like that
@@CaptainMcKayRandom i just need a few things before i make them to put on youtube then ill make them but im not for sure about a few things like can you show us how you do the entrance with them and also thank you very much for taking the time to tell us how to do some of this stop animation i really like this stop animations shows =-)
Awesome video but can you go into more detail sometime in the future. I'm thinking about getting into stop motion and having a series on my channel and I really wanna know things such as, how to set up lighting, how to get certain angles and shots without knocking anything over.
Hi cap, I’m just starting off in stop motion extremely green, I’m really fascinated by the lighting device you’re using where can I get that? Did you order online? also love your work.
The lamp is from Target, and the smaller light I have was from Big Lots. They have a LOT of lighting options for relatively cheap. I think you'll be able to find what you need there!
Fantastic video mate. Wish this was around when I started. Have you got any recommendations on things that could hold strings? I'm sure someone used to have a tutorial video where they used something like a tripod stood over the ring to hold it... I can't find it anywhere though so I have no idea what it was.
That was great advise! Definitely people should listen to u, u even animated for WWE!hahaha I like the advice for the paper on the VHS tape. Always used VHS tapes but never did the paper thing, it's a great idea and I'm definitely gunna use it!
Thank you for this amazing video. Great tips that could really help me out, and I’m sure it will help many others. Awesome to see how you started your federation, or like the setup. Anyways, could the rubber bands be like the ones from that loom kit (wristband maker)?
Not that I can think of unless you know someone who is selling theirs. Maybe you could find someone selling the old one if they want to buy the newer version?
This video was awesome and really helpful, I'm definitely what I can to take the lessons you've shown and apply them to my own stuff. I make my own special effects so far I have beam attacks. Like say an atomic breath or an energy beam. I want to go ahead and have them set up without needing a stand for something and we don't have to always leave them up against another figure. Do you think that ruptured will work for that as well? Also what kind of editor app do you use I want to start making my feels better. I'm at 104th subscribers and I really want to give them some good stuff. Do you have any other tips? I also forgot what can I do about sound editing? I want to add special effects sounds like gunshots screaming and stuff like that and explosions. Can you tell me what a pie chart download or something?
I can try to answer stuff like this in an upcoming video. As for the energy beam idea, I don't know if these techniques will work since I have only ever done my energy beams as digital effects and not using the props that the figures came with.
you said you like making fantasy matches how about this taz vs stone cold Goldberg vs Stone Cold Brock Lesnar vs Stone Cold Brock Lesnar vs Ultimate Warrior Goldberg vs the Ultimate Warrior taz vs ryback RVD vs ryback Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar Bobby Lashley vs Ryback Bobby Lashley vs big E
I don’t think it truly matters if you plan to edit it out, but I go for regular sewing thread or very thin string and try to match it to the background color if I can

Awesome! When I make a second video like this I will be sure to include that in there. That's a great tip for sure.

True!
Could you do part 2 with what programs to use. how to use/ get music, sound effects , your own commentary.
High Light use iMovie you can do it on like iPhone or iPad. On android, best to use KineMaster. To get music and avoid copyright most of the time I just record the song from like a Bluetooth speaker or a laptop or something. To use your own commentary just record your voice on which ever software you’re using
Watch nlw for what to use , that's what I watched when I started
Theres an OG to every community on youtube. And for the Wrestling World you sir are the Goat.
Huge thanks, man! Happy to still just be doing what I enjoy haha.
@@CaptainMcKayRandom no problem
Thank you cap I feel this helped me better with what I’m doing I have a suggestion to people use a box lid then use the small rings ropes and turnbuckles and cut holes out
That was in Fact CRISPY, Props Capt. to Capn
Captain this totally helps also keep the bucks hairdo it suits u
Haha thanks, it's not going anywhere anytime soon!
Looking at this video it definitely helped me out because I'm definitely starting a pic fed and I'm planning a big event
Some great advice. Just started a stop motion federation and definitely learned a lot. Love the elastics trick
Glad to help! Anything you can do to make animation better and more fun.
I've made my own with lego. I made lots of cool things and played wwe figures for 2 years. Now I'm, going to return, Im so excited :)
I pull some of my figure storylines from classic literature. Shakespeare has a lot of easy translatable stuff.
You are multi talented stop motion maker
Good video
Thank you!
It's always a blessing when you upload ♥️
Great insight and advice
this video came at a perfect time for me, as im in the process of building a roster and ring for a stop motion fed, biggest issue im facing currently is a lack of space for a set. i might just elevate a table like you have! great video as always!
Good info I'm always thinking of new ideas to have fun with my WWE figs and Marvel legend's

@@CaptainMcKayRandom Thanks bro . Thats kinda what was thinking too . Keep doing what your doing friend
Love this. Makes me want to dive back into stuff. I really enjoy that you take the time to do these types of videos. Good stuff.
Thanks man! It's fun to do videos like these from time to time. Glad you checked it out!
You are one of the best thing to this keep doing good things
i been thinking about making some stop animation to but not for sure just yet i been playing around with it for a few weeks just to see how to make it and stuff like that
Honestly, if you have the time and patience, it's really a cool hobby. Just take your time and enjoy!

Same, would be nice to get a more in depth of this awesome tutorial.
I could try something like that in an upcoming video, sure!
@@CaptainMcKayRandom thank you man, I need as much tips as I can get

Thank you! I believe that was mbg1211 with that tripod string technique. I couldn't tell you which video it was where he showed it though.
@@CaptainMcKayRandom I thought it was! Thanks mate I'll keep searching his uploads :)
_Thank you for doing this video!_
Your hairs looking nice in this video, cap.
That was great advise! Definitely people should listen to u, u even animated for WWE!hahaha I like the advice for the paper on the VHS tape. Always used VHS tapes but never did the paper thing, it's a great idea and I'm definitely gunna use it!
Glad you could take away some useful tips from this video!
Thank you for this amazing video. Great tips that could really help me out, and I’m sure it will help many others. Awesome to see how you started your federation, or like the setup. Anyways, could the rubber bands be like the ones from that loom kit (wristband maker)?
I'm not really familiar with the loom kit, but if they're small elastic bands then I believe they SHOULD work okay.
Thank you so much for this video, really needed it. But do you know where to get the crowd pop up anywhere other than extreme sets?
Not that I can think of unless you know someone who is selling theirs. Maybe you could find someone selling the old one if they want to buy the newer version?
@@CaptainMcKayRandom, thanks
You can print out a crowd, expand it,and put it on a poster board
Plz do part two
I want to, but I need feedback first - what else would you want to know?
I would like to know how to edit pictures
Please make more wresling episodes
Working on the next JWF PPV show - which you saw the arena for in this video!
Awesome
This video was awesome and really helpful, I'm definitely what I can to take the lessons you've shown and apply them to my own stuff.

Captain McKay Random Alright then, I'll be looking forward to seeing your next video. Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a great day!
One of the biggest tip you forget was just have fun it's your show so do what ever you want if you want to push Zack Ryder then do it just have fun
My mom wlnt let me buy a good ring so I am making one and I could only find a 24 by 24 inch canvas to use as a frame. It is huge!!!
nice
I Found a good NXT ring at Biglots for 20$ Its a good size
What camera do you use because I love the quality and clarity of your shots
For most of my animations in the last couple years, I used a Nikon D3000.
Thanks for the tips but I just want to know what do you think is the perfect amount of champions and the prefect roster size??????
I'll keep this in mind for the next video, have an answer for you there!
What if your not doing stop motion
This applies to Pic feds too
If I wanted to make my own intro, where would I get music that I wouldn't get copyrighted for?
@Captain McKay Random What's up, what series of Kane is that? 😁
I don't actually know haha. I got it loose at a toy show a few years ago.
@@CaptainMcKayRandom lol ok
This Is Awesome Caption What About Championships
Good question - I'll keep it in mind for another video!
you said you like making fantasy matches how about this
taz vs stone cold
Goldberg vs Stone Cold
Brock Lesnar vs Stone Cold
Brock Lesnar vs Ultimate Warrior
Goldberg vs the Ultimate Warrior
taz vs ryback
RVD vs ryback
Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar
Bobby Lashley vs Ryback
Bobby Lashley vs big E
What about a hand fed?!
Video needed more Sid. Otherwise, it was very informative and entertaining.
Next one will be presented in Sid promo form. Half shouting, half whispering, ALL nonsense.
Randomly came across this video today! Thank you for tips! Would appreciate any tips if u fall across my videos!
Is that Matt Jackson
What kind of string is the best to use?
I don’t think it truly matters if you plan to edit it out, but I go for regular sewing thread or very thin string and try to match it to the background color if I can
Captain McKay Random Okay thanks man! I’ve been making a few and I’d say they’re pretty good. Hopefully they’ll look as good as yours one day!
I am sorry but can someone please explain what is "Pic Fed"?? Thank you!
It's an action figure federation that uses photos and text to tell the story and matches, instead of stop motion animation.
@@CaptainMcKayRandom ohhh! Thank you very much Captain McKay!! Your Godzilla stop motion was too awesome BTW!!
Didnt know one of the young bucks did fedding
I'm the Old Buck. My brothers are the wrestlers, I'm the TH-cam animator.
The Godzilla aftermath sequel
When will Godzilla aftermath sequel will come out
Personal pro tip get poster board and geeenscreen it with real fans
That's an option, but people don't always have the right kind of setup or lighting for a huge green screen behind their arena.
Captain McKay Random That is true but if it is possible I think it is best because it is very cheap
