I Finally Did It! I Made a Tutorial for my Custom Figures!

After two years, I finally decided to make a brief tutorial for my custom figures!

800 pictures taken at 24 FPS. 8 and a half hours spent on animation (not including editing or tutorial) Created on an iPhone 11 ProMax using Stop Motion Studio Pro. Edited video with Adobe primer pro.

After I started really getting into Lego stop motion, I was never planning on animating with these figures again. But out of nowhere, after two years of being uploaded, all of my custom figure videos blew up. I had countless comments asking me to make a tutorial! I was never planning on making a tutorial because I feel the figures are not ideal for stop motion. But I felt I could not ignore the over 170,000 views that all of my custom figure videos have accumulated over the last week!

I was planning on just making a tutorial for the new Lofty figure. And after nearly completing the video, I found out that almost everyone was more interested in the old Lofty figure! So I went back and added him to the video.
I still feel the new figure is much better. It’s more to scale with Lego and Mega Construx figures, and it has a simpler and cleaner look. But that’s just my opinion.

Thank you all for your support and kind comments! You’re the best!!

Personally I think that the old figure looks more stylised and cooler, despite how unconventional it is for stop motion. It is also neat to finally see the figures that you made being used in a recent video.

I understand the whole custom figure animating pain, after I had seen yours for the first time I decided to make on for myself and now, after seeing this video i realized a couple things, first of all I built the whole limb system wrong, and second of course was how hard it was to animate. Maybe I'll try building it the "right" way...we'll see

I liked this. It's like a stikbot, but made out of paper, cardboard, and pipe cleaners instead of plastic and bungie cords.

i love this tutorial, and i really like the design of the hips for the first figure you showed, i never thought of doing it that way.

one thing i would actually recommend that could make it a lot easier to make the figures, and make the limbs less frigile, is using premade paper straws for the interior. they're much stronger than rolling a paper tube yourself and have the same dimensions basically

Try watching this at .25 speed. I’m sorry.

I am going to create an army of Lofty’s now 😂

Thank you so much Loft Studios for tutorial!

[Stinky]

Bro, I just found this stuff not even thinking of something like it, saw the 2y old trailer, and your voice was so goofy, now it’s a lot better

Okay, I see no one is talking about how SATISFYING that intro is! Good work btw!

[BrickStopmotions]

Nice! I sense a Custom-Figure vs Lego battle coming soon...🤔

[yrucbvi]

Why is there a new one though? Yeah I don’t get it. Can you also Mecca Lofti and the Mecca Godzilla 0:05

[priverbars]

this is absolutely crazy, yesterday i had seen your original videos and then the very next morning you upload the tutorial

[nancylacsinto]

Its ok if this channel didn't made a turtorial about the figures i was amaze how he made mechagodzilla out paper and more

[zolden]

FINALLY!!!! It you took you so long I figured it myself and made animation using the figures I made for my FMP. but I am so happy you finally did it!

[craftykit]

I would suggest using copper wires, but they’re not fluffy like pipecleaner so they don’t stick in place as well

[RocketRidge]

The amount of time it probably took to animate this is admirable, looks like an awesome project dude!

[All_ideas_studios]

I really enjoyed it a lot thanks for this video however I was also thinking of entering the world of animation

[LaweMajid]

This is so smooth man keep the good work❤

How did you make your MechaGodzilla because I’ve been remaking my own Mech but I don’t have the right Lego pieces (I mostly prefer to use legos instead of cardboard and King Kong glue)
