The Covenant Invade my Mail - Halo Mega Construx/Bloks Stopmotion
Фильм және анимация
A lance of Covenant spec ops infiltrate a cardboard box space station. Will they find friend or foe inside?
DISCLAIMER: This video is not an entry for TheDomains Toymation fest 2022 - Just a fun video made with the prizes I got from Toymation fest 2021 for coming 2nd place.
I had a lot of fun making this video, this one is long overdue. It is a little rushed, but I'm satisfied with how it came out. Hope you all enjoy :)

Probably the only elite commander I've ever seen care about his grunts like that
This is INCREDIBLE! I hope you're still entering the ToymationFest too!

Hi domain
There is something so wholesome about seeing an elite acknowledging an Unggoy’s actions 😂.
You literally captured the mannerisms of the covenant/banished races perfectly, that elite was more believable to be an elite than any of the halo 4/5 elites we saw. Absolutely perfect
Some cool facts about this video😎 -I made the micro fleet Covenant Cruiser exclusively out of parts from the halo 5 wraith (Wraith Ambush DPJ93) set. -The custom Grunt masks, CE Jackal helmet and H2A Elite head were all sculpted and painted by me. -That TheDomain symbol that generated a small key in the hand of the Elite: I just made up as I animated. I'll figure out its significance when I eventually make a part 2 :) -The orange Spartan Recon I won from the competition doesn't have a silver visor printed on his helmet - so it just appears as black. Part of the reason I didn't have him jump out his packaging and attack the lads is because I count it as a rare misprint. I think it looks really cool. -The Marine Sniper uses Kat's voice from Halo Reach. -The Green Hazop Spartan's head has a bit of blu tack in its neck socket - I did this so his head would stand slightly higher on his neck. -That flashbang the Hazop threw came with the Marine Sniper, so I guess you could say some time passed between shots and he looted her corpse. -That bubble wrap was possibly the same bubble wrap that came in the toymation fest parcel. -That Chonky spartan drawing is 100% Chonky Chief (confirmed). -I didn't actually code my blindbag before I opened it - so I brainstormed multiple different scenarios on how the Covenant would fight (or ally with) the figure inside. -The Prowler's turret makes the same noise as the Phaeston from Mass Effect 3. -The fluff I use for explosion effects was harvested from a toy my dog savaged. -The boxes reactor is both based on and uses sound effects from the reactors of High Charity in Halo 3. -TheDomain named Abraham :) -The final shot of the box exploding was actually the parcel that the prizes were sent me in. Thanks for watching this animation 💜

Glad to see you back! The sets are great as always, and I loved the uniqueness of the story, and the concept of seeing random sets all combined into one story is really cool! Great video and keep up the amazing work!

Legends always gets Remembered but Heroes Never Die. Great to see your still making videos! Love these creative ones!
Dude.... This has to be one of the most clever ideas for Halo Mega Stop Motion that I have ever seen. Thanks for putting as much effort as you do into your animations.
That mini build for the boarding craft is SO ridiculously good - I absolutely love all the tiny details you added into this video. And how could I not mention that INSANE Active Camo transition. Brilliant stuff dude!
The way the grunts are actually respected by their team is kind of strange 😂

Lol fr abraham is amazing
That elite must have been incredibly competent he kept a grunt alive for the entire mission somehow.
This was awesome! The walk cycles are smooth, and are not too fast or jerky. The movement in general was nice and convincing, the characters really seemed to come alive. The subtitles fit extremely well, you did a great job on blending them with the body language and voice lines. I'm glad I could help!
Absolutely amazing! The way you get attached to the unggoy (Abraham) is something not many stop motions can achieve, keep it up!
This is incredible even the appearance of the weapons and the covenant
My favorite so far. Really felt like a real halo scene but with mega with some of the humor.
I like how you used the sets you got from last toymation fest like the skiff, turret and the hero’s. Nice animation
That was by far the most creative Stopmotion video I've ever seen! The animation was crazy great and seeing the packages to the figures and having those figures then show up is so cool! Amazing job on everything!!
And rest in piece you mail, there probably was some expensive stuff in there (the cyan Spartan) just for it to explode.
You’re finally back yay😊
This video is just amazing, i come back here for insparation every few days, i wish i could animate like you! Maybe i will eventually but for now your my favorite animator!

@@sassycrocodile this video is what is getting me back into mega construx halo after years of not getting involved in the community and collecting many thanks Mr. Crocodile.
The way the Elite took out that first Brute was Brute-al! I loved it
Excellent work on this! The audio syncing and animation were both great! Main reason I haven't done stop motion is I despise walk cycles. You did a great job there!
A happy ending for an Unggoy, loved watching this
And the one energy sword swing was smooth
What a cool animation! Having sets inside the Amazon Box come alive is so awesome. It reminds me of the movie Small Soldiers. Absolutely love this

That’s genius, using sticky tacks to help the figures stand
well done this is a very good stop motion of halo 10 out of 10 great job
Abraham an Kenny (idk i jus wanted to give the elite a name) are my favorite duo now
Awesome stop motion love the part when the elites shields went down and the jackal tried to cover him
Absolutely fantastic! So many little details. Things like cutting the bubble wrap with the energy sword, and all the practical effects. And seeing the old sets and figures was really nostalgic! Also your walk/run cycles are still super smooth
This is the best unboxing video. Ever.

this is how i imagined my megabloks as a kid, this is awesome!
This was really fun to watch and it's really creative! I also love the grunts
Better than Netflix
Also the masks of the grunts are great!👍👏
That custom spec ops grunt is awesome
and when the world needed him the most, he came back.
Love how you added a tactical communication between the elite and grunt, how he gave covering fire!
I loved everything about this! Especially the custom prowler!
Mail is temporary, the great journey is forever!
Dude this was incredible
And the elite is like Rtas Vadum, both caring for his men and a smart leader.
Nice prowler custom. Makes me want to buy the skiff intercept even more

And the chonky master chief was funni
Those costumes are amazing
This was my favorite character
Good to see you back man, I love your stopmotions.
It is always a treat to view your work! Sadly I am in a hurry right now but I will finish it later! I like the custom grunt masks and the "toy story" like idea. Great job!
What can i even say? One of the best stop motion animators in the whole internet!! Keep it up!
Bro this is like the 4th time I've watched this amazing stop motion!
man, your stuff are amazing, glad see you post again, and my man the work is awesome, smooth animation and the lighting was on point, just keep it up.

Muy interesante bro el como el Covenant invade tu correo
I love the Custom models they look really nice!
That was awesome lol takes me back to my childhood
DANG dude is that elite a custom cause if so you absolutely killed the head
I love the way u make this!🎉
I like how creative this is.
And the spec ops grunt with the gas mask with goggles is a cool guy, can hit a foe while the foe is driving, smart enough to use a body as a body shield, and doing what the elite tells him.
Dang, the whole concept of this stopmotion is so unique, pretty rad!
Fr this is like so accurate when I get it :)
A minor, yes. But after all, a true elite
This is mind blowing, it’s incredible.
Amazing just what a work of art
Legit so cool!! it's been awhile since I've watched these kinds of videos, there was always just the same good ones, the great kings. Now there's a new king to the table.
That was incredible, you should continue with a series. I congratulate you, my friend, it doesn't matter that it takes a long time, it's worth it.

Dude this is absoluteley amazing
you're better than almost every one yet love the 40k ones surprised you haven't made a movie that would be cool but when i tried to do a stopmotion i couldn't figure out how to make the elites walk
this was awesome, I loved the paint jobs on the figures/guns too!
So sorry your package got blown up, those were some cool figures!
This was super creative and really enjoyable!
Cool Video with funny spezial effects. Big greetings from Vienna/Austria
I really appreciate the Halo 1 death animation you threw in there with the blue Spartan, amazing animation all around. Every detail was filmmaking perfection 🙌
