This claymation is... different, and it is pure art.

Think there’s a problem with the video because it didn’t show up in my subscriptions




Looks like people are able to see it now and be blessed by this creation 👌🏻 well done lee 🖤

When "the show must go on" is taken literally

3:06 is this a callback to when the mice put on sunglasses when the rocketship blasts off in Wallace and Grommit: A grand day out?

This video is amazing, Lee.

I don't understand how did you film some frames yet. Could you make a video explaining how did you do this animation, please?

I hope you keep making stop-motion and clay-mation videos for a long time.

Greetings from Mexico.

Crew member: "I've turned one of the band members into a Cronenberg abomination, I'll just keep turning the wheels, that'll solve the problem"

[CRicardo]

Haber conocido primero a lee hardcastle y luego a portugal the man, y ahora ver una colaboración entre ellos. No tiene precio

[Anonymous-vtmf]

As always at the highest level, Hardcastle...

Amor al stop motion y amor a la música epico

[bondfall]

This is the only time I've watched a Lee Hardcastle video and come away saying "aww, that was cute."

[ari-dynamicarchive]

If they ever brought Celebrity Deathmatch back, you should be in charge of the animation and the show itself.

Very good congratulations 100 out of 100 stop motion and song 👌👌👌👌
