like, as a professional stop motion animator, there’s a very good financial reason that every single movie post 1990 uses CGI special effects instead of stop motion

@MooXProductions It's so time consuming. Sadly stop motion is only slightly cheaper than animation in specific cases

@ChimalpahinXIII stop motion is animation

hey while you’re here check out this stop motion film i worked on for 2 years

@MooXProductions Idk that much about it but doesn't stop motion have to be done basically 100% perfect for it to look fluid?

@KJpixel14 yeah pretty much

@MooXProductions I’ve been building puppets & stop mo puppets for 15 years (including Universal Studios Transformers costumes) & for me, robots are so much less interesting to create than human, animal, or fantastical characters.

@PuppetLauren i’ve been building for way less time but robots just speak to me on a fundamental level idk

@MooXProductions Movies would take like 10 years to make, I mean that’s probably an exaggeration but stop motion is not an easy thing to do and is very time consuming

@MooXProductions I just finished budgeting for my pilot and I'm still going to be paying stuff off through January lmao

@MooXProductions Bruh

@MooXProductions A stop motion transformers film would be baller tho

@MooXProductions It’s also takes fucking forever to do

@MooXProductions Boy, have I ever told how I decided to make stop motion for my college project due to my Multimedia course cause I said "it's easy". How wrong I was. Still worked out well, but had to do an internship in the college cause my classroom was the background of the action, lol

@MooXProductions The only reason travis knight and the team at Laika get to do what they do is because his father is the owner of nike and he can just make an absolutely spectacular film, that bombs at box office

@MooXProductions Question: wouldn't it still be cheaper in terms of budget but not in terms of time or mampower?

@MooXProductions Well.. In a way it is. BUT doesn't mean it's actually cheaper. Tons of work will need to be put in there. Especially if it's done by 1 person... Stop motion isnt a bad idea but... No. It wouldn't work.

@MooXProductions I won't claim to be an expert on CGI or Stop Motion But a good stop motion movie like Kubo cost $60 million, the most recent transformers movie cost $200 million. So if CGI is cheaper, then its not being used properly if its budget goes this much higher.

@MooXProductions I don’t see why it wouldn’t be cheap.
