Stop Motion Mortal Kombat – Fight Scene

Stop Motion Mortal Kombat

Check out our first stop motion Fight Scene!

My stunt friends and I love to make stop motion videos with stunts in them, often about gaming.. We give you.. Stop Motion Mortal Kombat!

Below is a quick rundown of the shoot, but watch out for the actual Behind the Scenes video of our stop motion fight scene in the next couple of days! It will be on the youtube channel!

OK, let’s get to it! This stop motion fight scene was VERY fun to make! We filmed it in Santa Clarita, and the whole shoot took us about 4-5 hours. Kyle Chebbi (Stop Motion camera and co-director) and I had been planning this shoot for a couple of weeks, and as soon as our schedules lined up, we decided to go for it! I posted a note on my facebook wall the day before, asking if someone wanted to be a part of a stop motion video.. and my stunt friend Joe Sobalo replied!

We set the stop motion fight up for the next morning, Joe and Kyle got to my house around 9am, and we drove out to the location in Santa Clarita. We stopped to get some waters (very important when you’re filming on any location!), and hiked 10 minutes off the main road, out to our cool location. It was at this point that Kyle and I realized we had filmed an instagram “tester” fight video there exactly a year before!

THE SHOOT

About half of our filming time went towards coming up with the “live action” parts of our video, while the other half went towards filming the Stop Motion Mortal Kombat fight scene. Kyle and Joe were really fun to work with, and we came up with the comedic beats on the spot! I love it when like-minded, positive people come together on a set! It makes for such a rewarding experience.

In the United States or in the United Kingdom, the cases of these injuries are reported from young male personalities and the results come in form of erectile dysfunction or impotency. generic cialis online buying this
The stop motion fight part was a bit tricky, trickier than I anticipated. The parts that we had to pay close attention to on this one were; the fact that there were now two people to keep track of during the picture taking, and the fact that it was my friend’s first stop motion shoot (Joe did an AMAZING job, btw! picked it up quick)

POST PRODUCTION

When I got into the edit, I realized that because we filmed under some high powered electrical lines, we had some strong interference noise on the video. After trying several times to remove the noise in Premiere Pro CC, (watching tutorials, etc), Kyle and I decided to just do some “ADR”! ADR stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacement. This meant we had to re-record some of the lines onto our camera, then lay it over the original audio track (deleting the original). This made for an interesting looking clip of me slapping myself uncontrollably as Kyle walks by! You can see that clip on my instagram, or when we post the Stop Motion behind-the-scenes video in the next couple of days 😉

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video! We’ve been getting very good responses from people so far, and think that we will make more stop motion fight videos soon! If you feel like it, please share Stop Motion Mortal Kombat with your friends! And leave us a comment on the video with any ideas, suggestions, or feedback!

STAY AWESOME!

Stop Motion Ice Skating Christmas

Stop Motion Ice Skating? YES! We have done it again!

It’s Christmas time, and we have just released our newest live action stop motion video! We used the film making technique called “stop motion animation”, which was used back in the early days of cinema to animate objects, but we put our own twist on it by doing it with people!

Anyways, without further adieu, check it out below!

We had A LOT of fun with this shoot! Here’s how the whole thing went down..

We got the idea for this Stop Motion Ice Skating video, after we did one of our Instagram “tester” videos with Kyle (camera). You can see our ice skating tester video here.

Once the idea for Stop Motion Ice Skating was born, we spent several weeks just letting it simmer on the back burner of my minds. Then I dove into youtube search and did some research on real figure skating moves. Then I made a loose “stop motion shot list” of moves I wanted to film, as well as a simple “script” for the talking parts. Then came the several weeks of waiting for snow in California!

As Christmas approached, Mary and I had a day of “location scouting”, where we drove an hour north to Frasier Park, CA, and checked out the potential filming spots. On our location scout we didn’t find much snow, so we waited for a “snowy” text from a friend of ours until we set the shoot date.

When we got the text, it was time to GO! We drove up to Frasier Park on a cold morning, and filmed the whole stop motion ice skating video in 5 hours.

I’ve been getting faster at editing the stop motion videos, so the edit only took one day this time! Luckily, I was able to find some ice skating sound effects by looking around youtube long enough.

On inspection of the results, comparing the 2 groups: One group with a high sat-fat / high cholesterol diet on line cialis new.castillodeprincesas.com and The other group with a low sat-fat and low cholesterol diet reduced the risk of heart disease.
We blew our own expectations out of the water yet again, and the shoot could not have been possible without our awesome team of friends! Allen Niles did an amazing job with acting, helping to write the dialogue, (and helping me to stay balanced on that rail slide!) Kyle Chebbi did a fantastic job with camera, and co-directing!

Here is our behind the scenes video!

More specifics: After shooting all of the pictures on our DSLR, I import them into Premiere Pro as an “image sequence”, then slow the speed of the resulting video down to whatever I work out the math to be. (In this case, it was 50 percent). After that, I can go in and resize the images until I get the framing I like… then it’s time to add in the sound effects! This is usually the part which takes the longest, as I have to look through the internet to find suitable sounds, then time them to the video. Overlaying music helps out A LOT!

Good Vibes were had all around, and we hope you enjoyed watching this video as much as we enjoyed making it!!

PS: “Where have we been?!”
After being a little “quiet” on the channel, I’m happy to announce that we are going to be producing regular content again! I’ve been busy working with new people, seeing who has good intentions and vibes, and organizing a team to help take the youtube channel to the next level.

The channel “Rustic B” may or may not go through another name change at some point in the future, to make sure that everyone feels welcome as part of a team, and to represent our mission statement better. Our mission statement is: “To spread the power of Optimism and Mindful Positivity, through making content with Good Vibes”

Do you have any ideas for a new brand name?
