FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What software do you use to make your videos?
A: I use Windows Live Movie Maker to create my animations.
Q: What camera do you use?
A: The camera I use is a Canon EOS Rebel T3i.
Q: What software do you use to edit your videos?
A: All effects are done manually without the use of editing. I occasionally use Photoshop to do minor things such as color correcting certain frames.
Q: How many Frames Per Second do you use?
A: Most of my stop motions run at 0.09 - 0.06 seconds per frame.
Q: What music is in the video?
A: Music: An Ode To The Abyss
Q: Where do you get your sound effects?
A: Here's a link to Sergeant Major Avery Johnson's Channel. He takes sound effects directly from the Halo games, so all the sounds are authentic! / channel
Q: How do you get figures to walk?
A: I frequently use an adhesive material called "sticky tack" whenever I am positioning a figure to walk or when I'm having trouble balancing it.
Q: How did you get so good? How do I improve?
A: The ONLY way to improve your stop motions is to continue practicing. I've been doing stop motions (off and on, mostly off) for about 3 years to get to my current capabilities.
Here (below) are a few key beginner mistakes and fixes.
1a. Light flicker - individual images' lighting doesn't match perfectly, therefore, when the pictures are played quickly together, it appears as though the stop motion is flickering.
2a. How to fix the issue:
- Close off all sources of light (especially natural light from the sun).
- Position a lamp pointing onto your stop motion set.
- Added benefit -- Lighting is a principle element of composing intriguing stop motions.
1b. Unnecessary or unwanted camera movements that cause the stop motion to appear as if it is violently shaking.
2b. How to fix the issue:
- Use a tripod to hold your capture device. A tripod also enables you to position your camera from (almost) any angle.
- If not a tripod, then tape your camera into place
- If not tape, then use a form of sticky tack or similar substance.(tape/sticky tack may damage or leave residue on certain surfaces, use your personal discretion to decide if it is necessary).
1c. Not implementing properties of physics - To make a stop motion appear real, you'll have to apply the concepts of real life to it.
2c. How to fix the issue:
- You don't need a Master's Degree in physics.
- Understand that objects accelerate and decelerate (in stop motion, this is occasionally referred to as "easy-in and easy-out)".
- An object moving slow requires MORE images and as it moves faster (hence accelerates) it needs LESS pictures. When the entity comes to a stop, slowly take more and more images until it is no longer moving.
- This is unrelated to acceleration and deceleration, but figures shouldn't perform an action that requires force without some sort of
prior action to prepare for it. For instance, if a figure jumps it shouldn't simply propel forward. First, it must bend its knees and then swing its arms backwards in order to prepare to thrust itself into the air.

These are just some miscellaneous stop motion scenes from old projects that I never finished... I have trouble coming up with ideas for stories, and when I do, I rarely if ever complete them.
I'm a perfectionist, so I tend to think all my stop motions aren't as good as they "should be", and thus I either procrastinate or cancel all of my ideas before seeing them through to fruition.
-Dawson
Im so glad that you uploaded a new video!
Axiology Studios
Same
Axiology Studios create some sort of discord or some thing for fans and you to brainstorm ideas for stopmotion story's
Axiology Studios keep up the good work
Can i send you customs
Magnificent as usual. Man, I'm drooling.
Thanks Mootroid! I'm glad you enjoyed! :D
MootroidXProductions when's last conlony part 2 coming out. Just kidding.
Axiology, please come back. You’re the main reason why a lot of us even got into Stopmotion. Even a 3 second clip of a spartan or elite shooting is better than what any of us can make lol.
SpeedyNoob! Hey man, sorry! I'm alive and well, I plan to post some random 3 second clips... Or something, haha. Hope you're doing good.
Dude, no words, every animation you make is so freakin incredible, I strive to be as good as you one day, your my role model and I’m so glad you got into animation because your a freakin legend, seriously. Your animation is so good it could be in a film, keep up the freakin fantastic animations ;) can’t wait to see what you come up with next
-The Axe Of Badl
Thanks Badlaxe!
It's an honor to be your role model! :P
No problem man :) keep up the good work 👍 can’t wait to see future content
Also, just one question, what lighting do you use in your videos? They are amazing
I use lamps for all my lighting!
Thanks 👍
How are the customs so INCREDIBLY AMAZING?
I spend a lot of time creating them, and have plenty of practice from all of my failures! :D
@@AxiologyStudios you should more custom tutorials👍👍😃
@@AxiologyStudios bruh at least just the elite commander (i think theyre called commanders. Anyway, the big silver elites) as a tutorial?
How did you make the one at at :56 it looks sooo amazing
Wai...
Wha...
Why was I never notified of this?!
Technology these days is a buncha baloney.
I think you can click a "Bell" symbol next to the Subscribe button and it'll notify you instantly when I upload.
With that said, you'll probably not be getting many messages. :P
Axiology Studios
Well, consider the bell rung! 🛎
Woohoo! :D
I like you timo
1:18 - amazing explosion
1:06 - jawdropping hopping
0:45 - so simple, but proves simplicity can define complication
*Halo wars music starts playing*
4 months, 4 months is the delay between a lot of axiology studio’s videos. One month, one month and axiology may publish another video if not it’s because.. he’s dead..
*Halo wars music stops playing
It's been so long!... But I'm alive. Sorry, haha. I got a good laugh out of reading this, Clic. :)
@@AxiologyStudios I just went back to watch this video again for nostalgia and found this comment :D So glad to see you are alive man. You've missed a lot. Do you have any uploads planned?
@@Stinger11Studios
Nostalgia!?
Yikes! ... I suppose the dust is quite visible, by now. :P
I've been thinking of posting more incomplete projects. Else, they'll never be posted at all.
After that, I have a basic story I am writing...
-Dawson
Its so beautiful
I have too much to say! First of all, this is incredible! This is awesome, this is mind blowing, etc. I can tell a huge amount of work went into this ! The customs were very well done 👍 the lighting amazing as always! Looks like the spartan/ elites / ODST’s are on a half glassed planet! Incredible job, also, I forgot to congratulate you on your 5000 subs! So, there. Good job again! I love this so much! - The Bro Of The Stopmo!
Also... did you get some new editing software? Because at the end when the little destiny thing ( I have no clue what it’s called ) was floating beside the guy... I know you can’t do that with movie maker...
Thanks Bro!
I think the floaty guy is called Ghost, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, I edited that scene frame by frame using Photoshop! It took well over an hour though, as I was very meticulous... :P
Axiology Studios oh!your animations always inspired me greatly! Thanks for the epic upload!
Axiology, it is called a ghost.
Good job 👍
That white spartan is beautiful😎
Thanks! :D
It’s not like your stop motion is beautiful, I’m not crying out of amazement! You are!
Do you think you will ever to a tutorial on how to make the high charity Council Members along with the General and the Spartan?
Amazing animation btw
Every time you upload, I'm left speechless at a beautiful, life-like animation. Everything from the lighting to the subtle movements you get your little plastic figures to do. All this and no VFX - wow.
Thank you! I appreciate your thoughtful comment! :)
Easily the smoothest animation for halo stop motion I’ve seen in a while, phenomenal work Axiology.
The elite honor guard,councilor and general make me want to cry of joy because their so beautiful to look at
Mr. Axiology I Don't Feel So Goo-...... Oh wait, I gotta watch this new upload before I fade away, brb.
-The Tie of the Brad
Fade away? That doesn't sound too good. :P
Axiology Studios oh, it's joke about the new avengers movie. Besides that I've been wanting to tell you that I won't be suprised if a company find your animations and recrute you in. You stuff is absolutely breathtaking. I dream of being as good as you one day... One day.
Haha, I wish someone would offer me an animation job! It'd be a dream come true! :D
INFINITY WAR
The fact that you used lego pieces instead of editing in muzzle flashes is great, shows just how different you are from the others. Here, have a sub.
Actually pretty beautiful to watch man, even unfinished clips
The music makes every scene dramatic. Its fantastic.
Thanks! All of the music from the Halo franchise tends to have that effect! :D
Despite having no knowledge on Destiny, you managed to do awesome scenes with exceptional lighting. Great work here
Man, I didn't know it was possible for someone to be this good with Mega Bloks stopmotion...
The elite commander looks sick!!!
Thanks man!!
Your animations just get better and smoother! Your style of animation is so unique! I loved every single bit of these clips! The Lighting was beautiful!
Thanks Wooz! I find it intriguing how essentially everyone has their own "style" of animation, which appears to be something that naturally occurs! :D
Your videos are soooo beautiful!
Thanks :D
Hey, if you have time could you check out my channel, it would really mean a lot to me.
I watched some of your stop motions. I can tell you put quite a bit of time and effort into them! Keep practicing! :D
Thanks! I didn't actually think you would watch them! 😂
This is pure art. You have nailed the physics of anatomical movement. Wonderful stuff.
I never thought stopmotion could feel so brutal. I literally cringed when the poor marine got run over by the ghost.
Excellent work my friend
Haha, I actually laughed at that part... I think there's something wrong with me. :P
Regardless, thank you for your kind words! :)
Stop this is to good I keep running out of words to say these stop motions are absolutely beautifully made
Thanks Pheonix!
YES this is so great to see your animations and your skills.. omg your animations seem really more perfect than before and the lighting is so great in every scenes I would love to see a complete animation from you I love everything of this video it’s just perfect nothing more :D
Thanks Clic!
You can thank my lamps for all the lighting. :P
That Elite walking is...
Hella amazing. I love it
I didn’t know toys could have an elegance about them until I saw this clip, and let me tell u, I’ve seen a lot of this kind of thing before. Well done.
Thank you! Your thoughts mean a lot to me! :)
So gorgeous! Even these are all just pieces and singly scenes from your mind, they all tell their own stories. I just love how your videos work, with a relaxing music on the background, and with your lovely cinematography, I can just sit back and try to figure out what story is being told and I love it! I love your style and athmosphere! Such an inspiration!
Thanks Yadiel! That's a very thoughtful comment, I appreciate it.
I often feel a bit discouraged to bother posting these sort of animations since they're incomplete and seem a bit disorderly. I'm glad that you shared your thoughts with me, as it's nice to hear that they're still enjoyable for you. Allowing your imagination to roam and create your own stories through the animations isn't something that had crossed my mind before.
Thanks again, take care! :)
-Dawson
You are very much welcome! :)
I think you shouldn't have doubts about sharing any of your work with us. It is true that you cannot please everyone, but you should also have your own freedom as this is your channel, and it is your way of working. And I would love any kind of stop motion as long as it is from you haha! They might be incomplete but I think the way you put different scenes with different stories feels so bizzare, and feels as astonishing as it is! I mean, this is your style and I don't think anyone should interfere with how you decide things to be. I am wishing luck with whatever projects you plan on doing and life, hope inspiration keeps you company!
Simply incredible. I’d love to see a full length halo animation with a good story, and I’m 100% sure you could pull it off
I've had a few ideas for a full story stop motion floating around in my head for a while. I'll try!
This is the best quality mega bloks animation I've ever seen,best movement,great scenes just amazing in general u should be proud
Thanks man! :D
Axiology Studios thank YOU for inspiring me and replying
Axiology Studios can u do some destiny mega bloks videos since I think it looks the coolest but do what ever u enjoy most and also I think close combat (fists , knives) looks awesome so pls do that
The elite walking animation is just amazing!!!!! 1:19
Sorry 1:26
@@stickplistick3643
Yo thanks!! It's really difficult to get juuuust right.
Yeah like exactly how they walk
Warlock is my favorite, so I really liked this music and content.
This is so awsome when the honor guard take his sword out it made me try that but mine failed
Always exceptionaly done :) beautiful lighting
Thanks, I'm happy to know you noticed the lighting specifically. I spend way too much time trying to make it look good... :P
Axiology Studios as an animator myself, lighting is always something I really want to strive for, so seeing it done so well makes me really appreciate it.
Love your work,the animation is so smooth and better yet is the fact that mega construx is pretty difficult to animate do to extreme flexibility but then no ankle joint
These are absolutely great! Very fluid and life like movements. Keep up the great work! I especially love that silver and gold Elite Councilor looking figure.
Thanks Ebomb! I wish they would create more variants of elite armor, but until then I'll just keep making my own customs! :D
No problem Axiology! I do as well, I am getting tired of the Covenant Remnant elite armor :/ You do a great job on those customs, I just wish I had skill to mold or sculpt custom armor like you do! I will just have to stick to building and painting for now.
Dude I love these, id love to see a full movie of this
These scenes are exceptionally special
but srsly I totally get where your coming from with the whole "they're not good enough" thing. I'm the same way with my animations. Keep it up man they are good even if you can see a million flaws I couldn't see many. As for making up stories I have no trouble with that but I'm always changing them or thinking up ways that the story could have been better. These are really cool man makes me want to get off my lazy ass, move a little bit, then sit back on my lazy ass and animate.
Haha, thanks Basil! Your comment gave me a good chuckle. :P
It honestly means a lot to me hearing someone else say they struggle with the same thing.
I don't have many troubles with coming up with stories either once I start trying, but I typically get stuck where I come up with a great ending, but can't decide on the middle, or something like that. Then I go into a phase of constantly revising my ideas, but nothing is ever what I want it to be -- "perfect". It's not a conscious decision to want things to be flawless, either. It's that when I create something, deep in the back of my mind I feel the familiar sentiment that it could have been better.
I'm glad I could be an inspiration for you! Finally, thanks again and take care!
-Dawson
This reminds me of when I still loved halo
Good job this is so smooth I have never seen something better
Ur elite walk animations are perfected
*0:30* Wow I've never teared up during a mega bloks animation before..
Absolutely Amazing!
I am also trying to make stopmotion videos as good as yours, You inspire me to create and get better everyday!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I remember seeing other peoples' stop motions and always wishing I could do the same. It makes me so happy to know I could pass on the torch, so to speak, and in that sense inspire others.
Take care!
-Dawson
You are the best stop motion you tuber I love the halo mega construe videos
I have no words. All the words i have is this is amazing
Thanks! I like the Vulpix profile picture! :D
Axiology Studios Thanks! My friend sent me this picture so i decided why not have it as my profile picture?
I really love your work, it's been very inspiring to both my father and I. I would love to see more animations of elites, the way you are able to make them move is top notch!
Thanks Lil Legend! I'm glad to know you both enjoy the animations.
Animating the elites is certainly a challenge, I'll make more animations focusing on them. :)
I love your stop motions because they are so smooth
Thank you, it takes quite a lot of effort to make them "smooth"! Glad to know my hours are spent well! :)
SOOOO flowing!! Congratulations! Very good work😉👍
Thanks Joris!
wow these are incredible and well worth the qait that halo 2 councellor was sick!!
I have a question, what lights do you use for the muzzle flashes?
Thanks Flood Maker!
I use a flashlight and point it on the area that I want to be illuminated. For the most part, it's that simple! :D
Amazing as always Axiology! Look forward to the next one :D
Thanks :D
The Elites are PERFECT
I love this, it’s a masterpiece, doesn’t matter to know destiny it’s still amazing
Yeah, the Destiny stuff was actually a year old now. I had it sitting around and didn't think it was worth posting since I didn't know anything about the games... Yet, here it is now. :P
I love Destiny, it’s a good game with a great story.
Watching the ODSTs fall dead is kinda heart wrenching
The general looks VERY good
This is the best stop motion I ever seen
Thanks bro! :D
Those are some really smooth scenes
Thanks bro! :D
it looks so real and amazing i have watched over 40 times now amazing
40 times!? My goodness, that's some crazy dedication. Thank you! :D
ya i have a stopmotion fenatic and this just pushes my pation sorry if those are spelled wrong
oh ya i shared this now 5 times
Oh my god... this is frikin amazing. I wish I could have as much detail as you. I hope someday I can be just as good as you. Thanks for being such an awesome inspiration. - The Elite of Reconnaissance
Thanks Elite of Reconnaissance! I enjoy being able to know I can inspire others with my animations! :)
Axiology Studios np man, you really do. Keep up the amazing work, my dude.
SO SMOOTH ITS AMAZING
Great video, nice animation, Ive just started using Mega Bloks instead of Lego, they pose so much better, just subbed and look forward to seeing more =)
Nothing short of amazing. Keep up the great videos! You inspire me to keep going with stopmotions! :P
Being an inspiration to others means a lot to me, so thanks for telling me! :)
No problem! I love your videos. They're beautiful!
Another good stop motion from Axiology Studios
Thanks:)
THIS IS PURE SKILL!!!!!!!!!!
This is out standing!! Keep up the good work

These are really smooth
Thanks!
Axiology Studios hey I give credit where credit is due
I love halo and all halos (except halo 5)
And now I love this
You have a lot of potential, my dear friend
It’s CZcams channels like you that put the stop motion in stop motion.
It's been too long since I've had a good Stopmotion to watch.
There are plenty of other CZcamsrs that make amazing stop motions! Just keep your eyes out for them! :)
Axiology Studios yeah but who has your frames and hard work? Lol.
I glad you still upload:)
I know you have college stuff you have to do, but whenever I see this on my recommend section I hope you posted something new so I check your channel, and then I realize, oh I forgot he has stuff he's doing. Well keep on making these AMAZING animations and can't wait for your next one
Thank you Henry! I appreciate all the support, sorry I can't be more active. In due time... :)
Great work as usual, I get so happy every time you upload. You have the best cinematic lighting and scenes it is just so realistic. Well done man you're great.
- The 11 of Stinger
Thank you Stinger! Half of my effort when making a stop motion is trying to make it look cinematic. :P
Nice job Brandon bravo
I liked it was way better than the ones I watch but this is freakin greaat
Thanks Alex!
Dude I like this man good work
Thanks!
Man your work is magnificent keep going with it :D
Thanks :D
Siiiiii esperaba tu vídeo haz tutoriales te lo agradeceré mucho. Te mereces un like.
Lo siento, no hablo español muy bien.
Watch this video:
czcams.com/video/uDqjIdI4bF4/video.html
This video teaches 2D animation, but the concepts apply to stop motion too! :)
Axiology i had thought you weren't gonna post but you did but im a huge fan of your work keep up the good work
I'll make sure to keep it up! :)
Muy bien echo este vídeo se merese un premio etaa bien echó felicidades
I love it this is a great great stopmotion test
Thanks! :D
That is amazing. 10/10 I love the new elite general he looks so accurate and style. And the arbiter looks amazing. I have an idea What about a Spartan doing a back flip off the desk and landed on a elite and waved
Sure, I'll try a few backflip animations. :)
i hope you continue your work
Very nicely done
Yay your still alive. BTW great work.
:D
I love your work men, yo have all My support
Thank you Max! :)
Suggestions: An Elite General with two Ultras walking in slow mo the General has a sword and the Ultras have Concussion Rifles, then a Jackal Phalanx with Skirmishers poking out and shooting focus rifles and needle rifles from behind the phalanx, a Rocket Hog shooting a Banshee, a Spartan shooting a squad of Brutes using brute plasma rifles and spikers and maulers and brute shots with a leader using a hammer, and finally a Spartan hijack a Banshee and then turn around and blow up some Shade Turrets.
Good gravy, that's quite intricate! I think I'll borrow some of the ideas, but probably won't be able to create an exact copy of what you wrote. Thank you! :D
Hi axaology!! I just wanted to say how awesome you are! I just love your videos and you inspire me to do awesome stuff like you do!♡ and my idea is for to do a story like a man died for his friends♡♡
Wow this is amazing great job
Thank you Nova! :D
You are the most incredible animator I’ve ever scene!! I can’t describe your talent in words!!! You should get paid millions for this! Seriously though, just, W O W. You also need millions of subscribers! I do animations, but compared to you, my animations are like that of a 5 year olds!
Thanks!
I just watched your "Brute Encounter" stop motion, and it's actually very well made! Keep practicing, you show great potential! :)
Thanks! :D I now feel good inside!
These are fucking awesome dude!
The legend returns
But only for the moment, as I will soon disappear again! :P
Those customs are insane!!!!!!!
Thanks! They take plenty of work to create! :)
Axiology Studios would you do a how to video if you haven't done so already?
Perhaps I'll get around to doing one eventually. For now, though, here's the basics:
To create an elite helmet, first get a piece of cardstock paper.
Using pencil, draw one side of the helmet. Then, fold over the half.
Cut the whole section out, then, while the paper is folded, cut along the lines of the pencil.
This will make whatever you cut out symmetrical.
Next, you can add epoxy and other details to create the rest of the helmet.
That's essentially all there is to it!
Axiology Studios hmm that's pretty neat, I'm definitely trying that
As always, fantastic!
Thanks!
0:49 that animation skills though
Thanks! :)
Also nice job on this it looks amazing
Thanks SkySky! :D
