Eric you did an excellent job on this one!!
Puppet? I expected better :cries:
Still sweet though.
Oh,and also, you cheated on you're budget by using stuff from earlier episodes. EVIL!!! Muahaahah!!!
I must admit, a bigger budget would have made this build a lot better. My favourite hobby, but my least favourite episode. Better luck next time guys...

PLEASE INDY MOGUL!!! please i need to know where the indy mogul/nextnewnetworks place is in new york,new york. i NEED to know where exactly, PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE 8TH NOVEMBER
Thats creepy.
They probably dont want you showing up on their doorstep.
actually its probably because november 8th was almost a month ago!
Are you gonna cover your method for makeing the outfit?
Cause If not I was gonna make a vid asking thread Banger an easy method, figured it might be a difficult task for them since makeing things small is much harder then doing full size clothing, At least I think so.
I'm dumb, dissreguard last comments.
I MISS THE COLBERT REPORT TOO!
Nice puppet I like it. I didn't realize the Nightmare Before Christmas was all stop motion, it must have taken them forever.
i need a cheap green screen editing tool i looked at adobe premium but its alot of money. Im on a 20 dollar budget. So if you could help me that would be awesome.
the puppet is great but you need to take more shots to make it look smoother.
Why did the nightmare before Christmas have to turn emo? It was one of my favorite movies...
At one point in time I made a stop motion of a whole bunch of rubber ducks coming out of a toilet, then a last rubber duck exploding out with sewage all over it. It was surprisingly smooth. (not choppy) And it was my first shot at stop motion...Too bad it was made on the digital blue... I can't figure out how to export the video.
I LOVE STOP MOTION
Thats where I'm a viking...check them out

Dude, what's up with the Navy commercials? What's going on here?
No commercials, no BFX. It'd be nice to not have to rely on advertising, but if we never get any, they'll be no money for the show and we'll be gone!
Good episode, but the ad for Threadbanger was the best part. Hilarity!
i love this video its so funny and cool
that mini eric is cooler then the regular eric
where can i get an external microphone for a mini dv camera?

I NEED A CHEAP GREEN SCREEN EDITING TOOL!!
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Download WAX or T@b ZS4, they both do greenscreen. Indy Mogul even has a link to them on the right side of their "about" page. Click on the "about" button at the top. Now stop with the posting off topic stuff.
Excellent episode, to stay on topic.
Thank you :)
i downloaded them but they wouldn't let me add my vids for editing
I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What format are your videos? .avi, .mov You might need to convert them somehow to a format it says at the websites these programs can import. You might find more help at the forums.
i love the how the fuck am i gonna make this work comment. and congratulations steve! you now have 50 cents in your college fund! lets just hope it doesnt start to rap then get shot, you really need that money.
Hey, check out this Feedplayer :D

what was the music called at the start of this video (the pert where he first say the puppet with erics face)
Cool episode. I was wondering if for the budget it might also be possible to use one of those artist dummies (eg http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/36953500). It'd require some reworking but all the body parts seem pretty cool.
PS why doesn't stopmotion erik have glasses?! I want to see a stopmotion steve shoot him!
Two of my favorite things, Indy Mogul and Stop Motion coming together!
AHHH!!!!!!! I love this episode! This is one of my favorites!! AHHHHHHHHHH
the more frames the smoother the stop motion looks, take more photos then speed it up to match what you need for speed. Gj though. Also, is it sad that I failed the anti-spam question...what year is it...
just whut i needed :] but i cant fnd armature wire anywhere but everyone says u can get it at craft stores but ihavent had any luck D:
You guys should have a tutorial video on 'How to film at Night- and make it look good!'
I've had this problem. Because I don't know how much light to use, or any of that stuff. So please, do this.
YES! Please! I neeed to know how to film in a dark enviroment! Pretty please with sugar on top!
why dont you put the build plans up anymore?
