Film out now (scroll down to the bottom)!

I'm making a stop-motion film about Johhny Thunder. Whilst the film isn't finished yet, I'll post behind-the-scenes videos here as they come out:

Episode 1: Building the Jungle set and designing characters

Episode 2: Building the office set

Episode 3: building the cave and tunnel

Episode 4: building the airport

Teaser trailer:

Final film released on the 1st of June on the Yellow Frog Studios YouTube channel:

What do you think of it? I'd love to hear some feedback, as it's my first stop motion film.

Impressive work once again! I like the new Indy hat on Johnny more than I thought. And these scenes are beautifully made. Keep up the good work!

Great job so far! It's very interesting to see your work process. Is it possible for Johnny to wear a simple hairpiece in the plane or is there not enough space?

Thanks, wasn't sure about the Indy hat at first, but now I'm a fan of the Indy hat too!

It turns out that he does fit with the Indy hat, after I've removed his backpack and modified the interior slightly. Good idea, though, I'l keep it in mind for future places where he can't have his hat.

Ah yes, it's better when Johnny can wear his (Indy's) trademark hat! Looking forward to the next episode! Keep it up

Thanks, as I haven't made any real stop motion films before, I'm not confident it's 'top quality', but I appreciate it.

Poor red panda 

Great job all around! The shot of Johnny falling into the tunnel looked great! But how is the water not flooding the cave? I also liked the shot of the plane flying across the map very much

A fun little adventure. The ending was quite unexpected.  Good work! This be a good start for even grander projects in the future.
