The concept seems far off, especially for those of us who aren\u2019t so artistically-inclined, So it\u2019s awesome to see that this particular filmmaker, <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2018\/08\/17\/awesome-fan-made-stop-motion-video-using-gundam-models-is-a-gundam-fans-dream-come-true-\u3010videos\u3011\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rihito Ue<\/a>, took to YouTube with his own special set of skills to make a short video using a viable replacement for animation and artwork: <em>Gundam<\/em> models.<\/p>\n<p>In a stop-motion video, Ue takes his own selection of Gunpla models and puts them to work in \u201cOne Shot Gunpla: The StopMotion Works.\u201d The video takes inspiration from one popular scene from the original <em>Mobile Suit Gundam<\/em> anime, and it recaptures the spirit in a play by play that\u2019s 100% accurate to the original, even with anime audio as well as video from the show itself, which Ue left on TV while posing and filming the Gundams just so. You\u2019ve gotta hand it to him, as this obviously took a lot of work to put together.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2flcML-AabQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ue also took the time to include laser weapons, explosions, and other fun touches to the video, and different types of shooting techniques to get it just right. The shots were filmed with one take, and it\u2019s impressive to see what all this director was able to accomplish using household items and amateur techniques. It really makes you wonder what kind of work a polished professional could put out if this is the work of an amateur.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wQiGl44kxD8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in watching how Ue put everything together, you can check out a \u201cmaking of\u201d video above, which should answer some of your questions.
