uh hey, my name's ostrich and i'm working on making bionicle stop motions. However, my vocal range sucks , so I can only voice Ahkmou and Turahk. I already have most places filled, but I still have some more large roles open! This movie will be a much more character oriented mask of light era series, with the focus being on the attacks of the Rahkshi (who are all unique characters, build and personality wise!), who are my favorite Bionicle villans. While Kopaka, Makuta and Onua are pretty straightforward, Kuurahk is supposed to be kind of insane and laughs alot and Vorahk is the blunt leader. Space sheet: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/436561278232690700/525109949202956320/tryouts.png (Note: Makuta is open and I am awaiting a response from who I want to be Takua/Takanuva.

Some context: I'm the guy who made the BIONICLE: What Really Happened videos that satirized G2 a couple years back. I said to those who were asking that I was probably never going to make another BIONICLE-related film, but now that (I've sort of) done that I figured I would share it with the community. This film is primarily live action, but one of the protagonists is a CCBS figure composited into that live action world. I've never seen this sort of hybrid attempted in a low-budget fan film before, so hopefully it works. I was careful not to market this project as a BIONICLE story since the character in question is very much a toy and the story is not set in universe, but I thought you guys might enjoy!

! So a while back I made a stop motion animation and I decided to share the process with you, since it's really simple and I think there are people here that might find this useful. Anyway, here is the film: WARNING: The film was made for an environmental competition and not for Bionicle fans so a lot of things were changed (names for example). Focus on the animation and not on the story, because it's not really connected to the Bionicle. THE FILM The Process: First, the backgrounds. I borrowed them from MNOLG and MNOLG: The Bohrok Swarms (by Nuparu77) by taking in game screenshots. Then I took these screenshots in to Photoshop and I put different textures over them, changing the blending mode till it looked right. Then I also added some additional lightstones and glow and that was it. For the characters, I shot a few different motions on a green screen and then I cut them out. That way I could use the same footage in every scene. This is how an unedited picture looked like. Then I painted the glowing eyes and did some shading. I did about 5 different motions from the front and 2 from the side for each character. For each motion I shot approximately 4 images. It is important that the body of your character doesn't move between different motions or you get stuttering video (every motion should start with the same (or at least very similar) image). Then I took everything to Premiere Pro (a video editing program) where I put everything together and IMPORTANT: changed time interpolation to OPTICAL FLOW. It made everything more smooth, but it is still not perfect. You might have spotted some weird thing going on at the edges sometimes. It can be masked out, but I think is not that distracting. As you might know, the first Bionicle models were not very mobile, especially the neck. That is why I used pieces of wire and it worked great. I am not saying this is the best method, and it can certainly be improved, but it worked for me. If you have any more questions or suggestions, reply.

There was an old Youtube video where someone compiled all of these different lego stop motion videos from who know how long ago, and awarded one for each category. A few films that came to mind (not titles, just elements) were as followed: One about a Sci-fi-ish film noir, one where a time traveler visited humanity's future to find they're all dumb and child-like (probably based on a movie or something, it was in french, maybe), one where a dad takes his kid to the library (and someone [the librarian?] said "Go Go Gadget Koopa Shells"), one about a robot (brick built with arms using the hinge and pins) who had no legs (or something), and some others I don't remember. As a long time fan of lego stop motion, it's depressing that I don't remember any of the shorts, and I would like to know if anyone has at least a link to the awards video with them, or at least the website they were hosted on. Thanks, -jemm13 Edit: I found one of the shorts, it was one of the Henri and Edmond shorts, so I may go off of that, and the video may have hosted stuff from Bricks in Motion. My fears are that the original awards video was taken down for whatever reason. But I still have hope.

I dug out some of my old collection of Bionicle from waaay back in '01 and decided today would be as good a day as any to make a video of them. The Video is short, only about a minute but it showcases most of my collection as it stands. Hope you like it and Happy Easter to everyone here on BZP from my Bionicle collection. I wanted it to be longer but I accidently hit the complete button during filming. Questions and comments are welcome and desired.

EDIT: Toa Bumblebee mentioned that this needed more pictures. I apologize that there weren't, but my camera needed its battery charged and I had lost the charger some time ago. Finally managed to get it working again, so more pictures as needed. And yes, this is based on the actual dinosaur by the way. Here's the wiki for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suchomimus Suchomimus is one of the popular groups of dinosaurs known as Spinosaurs, which include the infamous Spinosaurus aegyptiacus as one of its members. It is also one of the most complete specimens, with most of its skeletal structure pieced together via many specimens which includes its ribs, hips, most of the skull, and the massive thumb claws from which the family is so famous for using. Adult members are estimated to grow an average of 11 meters (36 feet) in length when fully grown, making them massive theropods and one of the largest in the group with only Spinosaurus being bigger. Suchomimus lived in Early Cretaceous Africa and may have been one of the largest predators in its ecosystem. Suchomimus, like other Spinosaurs, was believed to be a specialist and a fish hunter, much like crocodiles and bears. It would have used its long, crocodile-like snout to snatch prey from the water's edge; the teeth perfectly designed to grab slippery fish due to their straight and conical shape like modern crocodiles. However, these jaws weren't very good at tearing prey apart, and unlike crocodiles it couldn't twist itself into a death roll in order to tear flesh. Instead, it is believed they used their signature claws; of which the thumb is shaped like a massive, killing scythe that can tear through flesh; in order to cut apart their catch enough to eat it. Bears use similar behavior today when catching fish, using their claws to help tear their catch apart. Suchomimus retains much of its almost Baryonyx-like traits, which means that while some evidence of a sail is starting to show they don't yet have the classic spine that makes Spinosaurus such a huge predator. Still, its spine is covered in large dorsal growths that gave its back a very pronounced bump, indicating that whatever Spinosaurus needed its gigantic sail for started with dinosaurs like Suchomimus, though we still don't know what that reason could be. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I made this not too long ago, was hoping that I could do some stop motion with it sometime in the near future. When I saw the CHI Cragger set with that massive set of jaws I couldn't NOT get it for myself, and I've been messing with the parts since. That tail and that nice crocodile-like skull work perfectly for some kind of dinosaur, so I thought why not build something like a spinosaur? The trouble of building anything Spinosaur related out of bionicle pieces has little to do with their spines on their backs or their mouths, which are actually really easy. The problem always lies in that special little adaptation they've got on their thumbs; they have these massive claws that they use to tear through flesh, theorized to be the way that they actually tear apart food, since their mouths were built for grabbing fish and other slippery prey instead of tearing it piece by piece. Cool, right? Not when you're building a decent-sized MOC with limited parts...yeah. I ended up managing to kind of cheat and build a custom finger using pieces from another set, but it took a while to get it to work the way I wanted. Can't wait to start making stop motion stuff with him, he's going to be a lot of fun to work with. Of course, it wouldn't be a fun dinosaur movie without an opponent, would it? Hmm...I wonder who he'll be facing? We will have to see...
