XWF Raw International: Steve Mongo Vs. Kane

[Midnight]

This was my first attempt at doing a stop motion match between Kane and Steve Mongo, for this reason the match was short, thanks for viewing, any advice is appreciated

















(Note from the Mod: This test match was shortened for the sake of preserving bandwidth, as per the pic fed rules of this board!)

Hey, just a few thoughts;
You said this was a stop motion project, what did u mean by that? like stop motion video?

Good first attempt, but your figures are very stiff, and you had a few blurry shots too.
Here's a link to my 1st attempt, I too had a few blurry pics.

I couldn't really follow the match, did Kane get pinned and then throw Mongo off the rope cuz he lost?

Are you going to start a pic fed?

Again, good job, can't wait to see more

[Midnight]

thanks a lot for the suggestions, too be honest i don't really know i'm new to actually posting these matches, i guess a pic fed, yeah Mongo won the match and Kane attacked him after, I'll put up another one soon and I'll try with what you suggested, i like yours as well, thanks a lot for your input it really helps, one thing i dont know is how would i do still pictures of them in the air??

A few friendly tips. You had some blurry pics. To fix that, have the camera as still as possible before each shot. I'd imagine you use a tripod, but if you don't, get a tripod. I know it's the style of figure, but your poses were stiff, meaning you didn't bend the joints that much, which gives it a un life like feel. We pic fed here, which usually has commentary under each picture depicting what is happening or the story of the match. Good effort.

Ok, hopefully with my second practice match it will be smoother and this time i will use mattel figures bc they bend better, thanks a bunch for the advice i will be doing all of that, also i have a website for my fed here let me know what you think, thanks:

i used fishing wire to get action shots in the air. most of us use that bc its clear and harder to see than other wires.
I tie one end to a figures waist or leg or what have you and tie the other end to hooks i put on the ceiling of my room.

other ppl hold the wire in their hands, but you gotta make sure not catch your shadow in the pics.

Pretty cool website! Looking forward to Clash of The Champions.

The poses were really bad and it was hard to follow because some od your sequences didnt make sense.

Alright thanks again everybody, i really appreciate it, i will try harder next time, which will be soon

I withheld from replying before, since I was not sure what you were trying to do, but since you seem to want to continue this all I can say is your stuff could benefit from smaller sized images, less blurry shots, text commentary and less stiff posing, but everybody else already pointed much of that out. I would not worry about mid-air shots until getting the basics polished off. You can still have a cool match with no figure suspended in mid-air like a Matrix movie. Have fun.
