What ya mean "as a kid" ? You're either a kid or you're not ! Lol I'm not a kid , but at 55 , I'm glad to say that MY gun noises , and other sounds of carnage , are better than ever ! And my toys ?.....little me would be green with envy ! Here's to never growing ALL the way up ! GREAT vids , definitely a labor of love !
this is exactly what we all saw when playing with miniature soldiers. i have watched everyone of these and have loved them. i have go into animating thanks to the wonderful times i spent imagining miniature battles
Another masterpiece, you never fail to impress me with these videos, animation is amazing and so are the VFX and story, great job mate and cant wait for the next one!
thank you for this. Truely, thank you. Your work is amazing, clearly better than what I can do, and your film skills are superb. I honestly cannot wait to see it.
It seems the more you do this the better you are getting. Especially that little teaser at the end. Good work and thanks for the content. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
@@TheME2Legion I was the voice of Praetorian, the mission commander relaying orders to the units in the field. Basically the first guy you hear in the video. :)
Man, you tell a great story!! Between that and the increased developments with your filmmaking, these little gems just keep getting better and better. I really hope, at some point, you can do another Q&A or a How-To video. There's some new stuff here that I'm sure we'd all like to know more about. For instance, how did you get the monitor operator in the command center to move his arms?? Regardless, great job and am looking forward to the next one.
What a great way to end the series, or should I say, season. I don’t remember how I found you but I was just blown away with how amazing the animation was. It’s so clean!
I love this series so much. It has bin a long time since the last. But the Wait paid out well. Thanks for your hard work and i love how i am able to see the improvment in your skills.
Damn I just clicked this video thinking what is this ? Black star initiative taken this war to a whole new level with models and cgi and camera angles that only are found in professional productions. Amazed by the creativity and effort you put into it ❤
Every mother of a small boy needs to watch this for educational purposes, so she understands why all the stuff is standing around on the floor again and why she just cannot put it all in shelves again. 😂

I love watching these, I have always wanted to find someone who made stuff like this in stopmotion form and are well done with good story and animation. I noticed and admired how you made a good action movie with an original plot, without a bunch of cussing or overdone gore. That is hard to find these days, and I really appreciate you doing that. I am excited for season 2, great work!
to end the year, a good video, I didn't remember that this series existed but I watched it again and it gave me goosebumps for every episode I watched again. greetings from Uruguay and happy new year to all
Never and I mean never will I get bored of rewatching these. the story the voice acting, the animation all top-notch love it keep up the excellent job mate!!!!!
4:36 God I love explosions. 4:40 Still kinda weirded out by his arms moving tho. 4:54 imo? Perfect place to put in Rough Journey. 5:06 continuity question; What happened to those improved armorplates? 5:09 mild CGI nitpick? maybe. iirc the downwards muzzle blast should be spreading across the front slope, not directly in front of the hull side. 6:12 I see that detail. god these are good. A tiny little turret traverse so that it's properly covering the hallway is excellent. most would just have it slide into place. 7:55 I like this detail. The vehicle skids into place to block incoming fire. And those particle effects!
Damn that's exactly how I would make my battles n wars when I played with my little plastic army soldiers and paratroopers when I was a little! Great times Great memories! 🤘🖤🔥🍻
Ty for this. I am clearly not the only one that this triggered a nostalgia for the hours upon hours spent playing. I am in awe at the bravery of these little men and women in the face of more technologically advanced adversary. YO JOE!
What a great grand finale of this eight part series. The progress and improvement that was shown through this has been amazing. Hopefully we will see these characters again in Season 2. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.
Very nicely done! I can appreciate the time you put in to this and it shows. I’ve done a little stop animation,a lot of work. (A labor of love) thank you for sharing. JC : )

Also great job it’s amazing
nyeh
ok so
as a second gen chinese american
*some of the voicelines,aaaugh*
is there any potential for people to send in voicelines
's a good animation, though, all aside.
In season 2 use music from Battlefield 2 modern combat. They can easy help in your video and are very good too

It seems the more you do this the better you are getting. Especially that little teaser at the end. Good work and thanks for the content. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
The fighter jets looked insane on this one! Nice cliff-hanger at the end, keep it up.
Awesome quality! Happy New Year, Black Star Initiative!
This is truly brilliant what we all imagined as kids playing war games 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Amazing job man! This was a real 10/10! The end was a real cliffhanger, can't wait for season 2

I can't find a stopmotion that beats this, amazing effects and movement and overall a great stop motion, I love the story and can't wait for season 2!

It really warms my heart to know that D’s toy soldiers all United to protect a living room
Better storyline and acting than in many Hollywood productions. I'm serious. 👍

That's why I wait and tell him to take his time , if you take your time the project ect will turn out nicely
Hey your finnaly back! Glad this series is still going on. What a great new year's gift man.
ah yes my imagination when playing with miniature toys back when i was a kid, made me smile today, cheers! 👍👍👍
Now that was amazing can't wait for part 9 hopefully comes out
I appreciate that this style of stop motion is still being used it’s a lot of hard and long strenuous work so I give you props !

That's sick! The amount of work that went into this is incredible
OMG what a great New Years present! Happy New Years man!
Yes new video! I am a big fan and I try to make army men stopmotions… You are my big example!!!!!!!!
Блин офигенно и так масштабно казалось будто что на этот раз яшеры выполнят свою цель
По вот этим видео наверное можно новую игру выпустить😅😅
Согласен и очень радует что не Россия тоже играла важную роль в этой битве
This was wonderful! The channel motivated me to paint some of my own models and get back into stopmotion on my otherwise dead channel.
Imagine owning these toys and coming back after these battles wondering what the crap happened to all your stuff.
Best late Christmas present ever.
Such impressive work, cant wait for season 2!
He makes the best army videos he is so OG ❤
Excellent way to kick off the new year.
This is a wonderful job I loved every minute of it
Thanks for all your hard work. Happy Hogmanay!
This is just awesome
Love the plans that you used.
Keep up the good work and have a happy new year
Wow, just incredible! The sound, the camera angles. Very impressive!
No wonder it took a long time best stop motion ever
That intro, was epic man. Basically blasted my headphones while at work to watch it
Hell yeah that means season 2 will be fire see y’all alll in the next one
Ty for this. I am clearly not the only one that this triggered a nostalgia for the hours upon hours spent playing. I am in awe at the bravery of these little men and women in the face of more technologically advanced adversary. YO JOE!
Great work as always. Kudos to your dedication.

Enjoyed the whole season, can't wait for season 2 to start. Awesome job.
You’ve really stepped up your special effects, this is the best in the series.
This stuff is amazing good. I’m still blown away
"Drop Bear is moving into the bedroom now" had to re listen to it to make sure I was hearing that right! Hilarious! Beware the drop bear!
OUTSTANDING. This is high speed, low drag. Just need some paratroopers and a C-130 for the future. Thank you for this and Happy New Year.
I second this
Holy fuck the ending is making me go into deep theories
I love this channel these videos inspired me to start my channel
I wasnt home and come back and just see this masterpiece and I had to watch it
I just discovered this series, you sparked my childhood interest once again
This was so amazing, great storytelling and animation, perfect for start the New Year!!
This is better then the crap on TV!
This guy makes movies better than hollywood
Very nicely done!
I can appreciate the time you put in to this and it shows. I’ve done a little stop animation,a lot of work. (A labor of love) thank you for sharing.
