Netflix should use this version of the intro for their stop-motion films

Netflix should make this their actual intro! It adds so much more character and charm to the brand!

Since you've done Netflix you have to do the Disney+ one. This was literally incredible!

[MuazOsman]

Those three days' work produced something great 🔥

[loser_town]

Netflix should pay you for this awesome work!

I love the part at the end when you talked about the "why". I've recently been working on creating new instagram filters to post every day and people ask why. Is there money in it? Maybe at some point, but for now the why is because I want to and it's a new fun way for me to create. Not everything needs to be a side hustle. You can do things because you enjoy them and I think that sometimes get's lost in our culture today. If something goes viral and you somehow make money, that's fantastic, but I think it's super important to have things you do simply for joy.

I never know what to expect from you Kevin, but you never disappoint! 😍

As another animator, I'm curious why you hot glue your stands to the floor as opposed to only sandbagging them down? You are the only person I've seen use that technique, wondering what the idea is there. Does it add a significant amount of strength more than sandbags?

if Netfilx ever makes another stop-motion movie/series, they should use this man's amazing work

I’m really impressed with the way this whole video was shot and made, let alone the final product!

[aujifo]

This video reminded me of the art show Art Attack with Neil Buchanan. I used to watch it all the time with my siblings when we were kids. My Mom did, too. Such good nostalgia!

You're such dedicated to what you're doing, love it !

[tonfilmwerk]

Wow! Professional stop-motion animation looks awesome! When u see tv series (or movies) like Shaun the sheep you know what an incredible work there is behind the scenes. Your work is fantastic! 👍Thank you for this behind-the-scenes video and an insight into your thoughts.

[RSpudieD]

That is pretty much spot-on so well done! I hope you're considering doing more of these process videos like you used to do. They're cool and I enjoy watching everything unfold and your explanations for what you're doing. I was surprised at how it's been over a year since the last one before this.

They should totally use this for the intro of the new Pinocchio movie coming out later this year.

[WanML_DragonMasterSCE]

This should be used for children shows and movies in Netflix, nice. All of that hard work was done correctly.

Normal people: “I just watch TV during my free time”
Kevin: “I made a yarn version of Netflix.”

[Atmos_Glitch]

Holy crap that's pretty much an identical yarn version wtf?!

And it only just took three days?! I'm not underestimating the time and effort taken but from the end result you would have thought it'd taken longer no???

The process reminds me of how broadcasters in the Eastern Bloc during the 1980s used physical objects to do special effects on intros since they still didn't have access to 3D CGI unlike the US, Western Europe, and essentially almost everywhere else at the time. Imagine how innovative, imaginative, and mind-blowing our animations and special effects would have been these days if people knew how to animate like this ninety years ago.

I saw this in facebook and I'm glad I found the full version here
