Stop motion animation that uses Playmobil to tell the story of Martin Luther, and the Reformation. Over 4000 individual photos bring to life scenes from the life of Luther like the castle where he hid as an outlaw, Wittenberg where he taught, the monastery where he was gripped by the Bible, and the Imperial Council at Worms.
Here's the script from the Martin Luther video:
This is the story of Martin Luther.
He got up to some pretty adventurous things. He was kidnapped by knights on horseback; lived in disguise in a castle and helped some nuns escape from a monastery, by hiding them in barrels.
But as a young man he was troubled by a deep sense that he wasn’t right with God. Once, in a thunderstorm, a lightening bolt nearly struck him. He thought he was going to die.
He cried out for help to one of the saints, saying rashly: “Save me, and I’ll become a monk”.
He survived, and so, true to his word he gave up his studies as a lawyer and became a monk. His friends and family said he was wasting his talent.
In the monastery he started reading the Bible. He discovered that it was God’s mercy & love that was all that was needed to be right with God. For the first time in his life, he found a deep peace with God.
Luther was invited to be a lecturer at the university in Wittenberg. He taught through books of the Bible. His lectures were popular, even ordinary people from the town came along.
In those days the Catholic church was telling Christians that their good behaviour could earn them heaven. Luther knew from the Bible though, that no amount of good works could earn you forgiveness! Not even the pope was able to give forgiveness from God - only God could do that.
Luther saw that the church had left behind what the Bible taught and was even making things up for it’s own gain. He decided that he must teach against these false ideas.
He made his complaints public by nailing them to the place in town where people published important documents…the door of the castle church.
He explained that it wasn’t possible to buy God’s forgiveness or to live a life that was good enough to deserve to know God.
His writings, showed that God wants to forgive the wrong we have done. And that this is only possible because Jesus, the son of God, came to pay the punishment our wrong deserved. Jesus did this as he died in our place.
Luther's ideas quickly spread throughout Europe thanks to a recent invention - the printing press.
The pope wrote a document saying that Luther had to take it all back. And if he didn’t he’d be treated as a heretic. Luther refused and publicly burnt a copy of the pope’s letter.
Luther’s ideas shook things up religiously, politically and culturally. He was summoned to stand before the emperor and answer for his supposed crimes of explaining what the Bible said.
The emperor declared Luther an outlaw, banning his literature. That’s when he was rescued and went to live in disguise in a castle. Dressing in knights’ clothing he changed his name to knight George and grew his hair and a beard.
He spent his time translating the New Testament - this again was published widely, meaning ordinary people could read the Bible for the first time.
Luther secretly returned to Wittenberg. He continued to write books and translate the bible. He also got married and had a family.
Europe was buzzing with Luther’s message about the Bible.
Today, 500 years on, the truths of the Bible that Luther knew continue to impact millions of people.
People who have come to know God personally, knowing the peace and forgiveness Jesus offers us.
The forgiveness that Luther found is still available today.
We can all be in a right relationship with God because of one man - the Lord Jesus Christ. - Zábava
Probably the best vid I had to watch for school
Also watched this for a school project

Wonderful work! A story well told. We watched it twice with our 4 year old and 5 year old and they want more. Thank you!
Thank you very much for doing this video. Very creative. Love it!!!
Such a great re-telling for this years anniversary!! Great work - so much respect for the patience in crafting this story!
Thanks Rachel. It's certainly been a test of patience and perseverance taking all the photos. But it's been fun to see it come together and I've learnt so much about how to make a stop motion animation through it.

Video is good but information is sad
This is excellent! I've been searching for the right way to communicate about Luther's life to a Sunday school group of pre-k through 6th graders. Without a doubt this is it. Thank you! It is extremely well done and informative.
Brilliant. Glad it'll be useful. It can be downloaded free from www.gochattervideos.com/martin-luther/
Very good video, very helpful to present to our children the story! Thank you!
The just shall live by faith(Romans 1:17)
Wonderful. How long did that take to make? It was worth every minute!
A great little video. I trust it receives a wide circulation. The blog post from Tim Challies yesterday should help.
Awesomeness
Please animate "On the Jews and Their Lies". I will not be able to complete my home school curriculum without it
wow thats nice
Glad you made this. I want to see more stuff like it.
A great way to tell the story. Expertly done. Love it.
Thanks Jayne, I definitely learnt lots making the video. Glad you like the re-telling of the Luther's life.
Hehe, brilliant! Love it that Mike Reeves provides the voice over!
Yeah he was really kind to be up for helping out. He's got a nice deep voice and he knows his stuff about the reformation.
Will u do anymore reformers?
This is a masterpiece! ❤️❤️❤️I was wondering if there's already a version of this work in German. Thanks in advance.

Btw at 0:11 how the f*ck did you make him move like that?
woaaaahhh watch the language
Thanks for sharing this amazing video!
Thank you so much!
Great work! Brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment.
Cute video, but you left out the part where he took books of the Bible out that taught things he didn’t agree with.
You mean the Apocrypha? Even the early Catholic Church agreed those aren't God-inspired. Jerome, for example, identified them as being non-canon. The Roman Church still used them because they believed they were good for teaching.
Hi Neve!!!
This is great!
Nice stop motion I Love it :)
Thanks glad you enjoyed it.
🆒!
Brilliant! I love it.
Brilliant! Well told too!
Amazing work. And an even more amazing gospel of God's favour towards us in Christ!
Great video! I will gladly share it. Keep up the Go(od) chatter! :-)
Thanks Norbert, glad you liked the video. Cheers for the comment.
IT IS AW SO ME !!
Wonderful! Can we have this in German...?
A wonderful way of telling the story of Martin Luther! Congratulations!
Thanks Meta, really glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks so much!
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed watching it.
well done!
Today, Nov. 2, is All Souls Day in the Catholic Church, the day we pray for all the poor souls in Purgatory. If we pray for them now they will pray for us when it is our turn.
Wonderful! Does anyone know if there is a German translation available? Not only subtitle...
Sadly there's not a German version. We were able to translate into Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and French but we couldn't find a German organisation or church that could help with recording the voice over in German. Sorry we've not been able to make it in German this time around. Hopefully for future videos.
Fantastic. Folks from our church are asking for more.
Terrific!
Thanks Dominic, glad you enjoyed watching it.
🤩🤩👏🏻
Can't wait to show this to my students in October. Thanks!
Brilliant. Glad it'll be useful. It can be downloaded free from www.gochattervideos.com/martin-luther/
Simply brilliant.
Superb. Thankyou.
Brilliant!
happy deformation day
It was his spiritual,director, fellow Augustinian Johann Staupitz who pointed out the Bible to him……..this forum teaches substutionary atonement, whereas God loves always, before and after sin…….Jesus is God’s love for us!
This is great
Thanks Mary
LOVE IT!
I'm raised Lutheran and nowadays an atheist. I must still say that comparing all different Christian views, Lutheran views seem to be the most free
Ryan does love kianna
Thanks so much for this. Just right. It's a gift to the church.
Thanks Dave, Glad it'll be useful for churches. It can be downloaded free from www.gochattervideos.com/martin-luther/
Great video! We just did a give-away of these Martin Luther figures to celebrate Reformation Day so we'll also be sending this link to the winners. Many thanks from Good News Broadcasting Association.
So many historical lies and innacuracies so beautifully portrayed with fun Playmobil toys!
Excellent! I will be using in school lors
Awesome. Hope it's really helpful for showing in your school.
i love kids
So good! And I think that even Aussie kids (and adults) will have no trouble understanding the British accent! 😜
That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing it with Aussie friends.
Uhmmm yeahhhh you skipped the part where he came back to his hometown in revolt, known as the Peasant Revolt of 1522
A vital message and profound truth so simply told.
Thanks Robin. It was fun to make it. Glad the message comes across clearly.
ryan loves kiana sheffield
How clever - great way to reach children!
Thanks Anne, we're hoping it'll get shown in lots of churches, youth groups and schools. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
So clever :)
Nice dan and 10ofthose
