So this is how pros does it huh!!!!! I want to do something like this!!!
Wow, it came out great.
I love those Figma commercials, can never get tired of them. Ever. As for Mikuru or Haruhi, I do prefer Mikuru. Can't stand aggressive/tempered, whimsical and nosy girls (even if she's tsundere). So Haruhi do not want. Sorry. XD
I see Haruhi as having a personality vs Mikuru not have much of one at all. Mikuru to me is just too quiet.
Well, of course Mikuru is a moe blob so I can't say I love her either. But I feel she can't have a true personality as Haruhi has pressured her very very early and leaves her no choice. :P
You get involved in the most curious things, Danny! This came out great, looks like some fun, right? The commercials came out great, makes me want to buy from Figma. I sure do love Mikuru's cuteness and her "eyes", but I LOVE Haruhi more, she has this attraction I can't explain...
nice
Neat setup, would have taken a lot more equipment a few years back lol. Me being a big figma fangirl nowdays, i really like this article. :3 In case of Haruhi or Mikuru, i don't know, personaly i tend to like Haruhi more but i like all the figmas out there... if i could only take one with me it would be hard to decide. x.X I mean... they are all great... i hope there will be a Yoko (TTGL) figma sometime, with that nice rifle. (prolly the first time i really could spot a character i would like being made in a figma, not considering the ones that are out already and the ones we know coming!)
wow the voting is pretty intense, everytime I see the page (or the moment I voted) the percentages have changed for a couple %... Still, it looks like Mikuru is the favorite here...
Danny were you involved in the production process at all? Or was this one of the perks of having your blog.
Kind of involved ^^;
Damn it Danny, why am I so envious of your job. Can I become your intern =D.
Will announce intern info when the time is right ^^
Cool, even though I probably wouldn't be useful. Only things I can do is make music with FL Studio, draw (getting better =P), and write. Unless you need someone in the creative department, I'm gonna be hanging out with my mobile home. (eats expired food inside a carboard box in a alley way)
Any need for an Engineer?? *grins*
nice behind the scenes! would have been better if the stop-motion parts were a tad longer...
wowness! thanks for sharing with us Danny! The CMs are so damn cool! :D stop motion is very hard work ^^;;;
Woooo! I balanced the poll Mikuru-chans way!!! She's just too cute! As gutsy as Haruhi is, the noises that Mikuru makes are just adorable!!! 52:48 to Mikuru!! Woooo! Used to be 52:48 to Haruhi! Spose not many people have posted yet lol
Yuki ^_^;; and lol at Itsuki who has to be kyon at the same time..
Yuki, FTW.
53/47 Haruhi! ^_^
having worked with japanese companies, i'm surprised it only took a day ^^; the attention to detail is sometimes... excruciating
nicee
Mikuru. Nuff Said.
7 people full day to film the 1 min clip? i wonder how long did takeguys on youtube to make those 3-4 mins long video with gunplas and skygirls figs
HARUHI FTW!, anyways, the "CM" was very good, I was expecting some kind of 3D animation but it looked awesome like that too, so, was that really Yuuki's voice actor? cuz that was pretty cool.
LOL there's no kyon! But theres 2 itsuki
Wow.. The CM looks awesome.. Those guys are great in doing such work.. I wonder how long other people took to do such videos on youtube?? Well, the video makes me decide to buy more figmas for my collection.. ^^
Looks great. Did a couple of TV commercials too as I’m in advertising. Here, we call them ‘TVC’s. You did all your editing on your Mac?? No need to go to a production house to do it? Wow!! That must really save a lot of time and $$$!! Was lucky to do the last photoshoot for a press ad (not TVC) in Japan Hakone middle of last year. Free trip to Japan is always good!
Is the guy in the middle of the second last picture the person who did the stop motion? He looks very young.
Yep - very young.
is he the one who sis the gundams/plamo stop motion dance?
Interesting to see how these "ads" were made. All the effort and time required to film just a few seconds. Can't wait until I get my haruhi figma in a few days time.
That's so cool you got to be there, those commercials are really cute!
Those 2 CM were no longer available :(
That's weird. Youtube did show the message of "The video is no longer available" when I tried to fiew it the 1st time. Now I can view the CM
Haruhi for me. Nice CM I like the stop motion, I know that something even as short as this can take a long time.
Can't wait till someone make a HHY stop-motion version with all five characters.
Danny, I think that light measuring thingy is like that histogram in a DSLR and photoshop. Gotta make sure the graph isn't steep on the extreme ends...
Great commercials! They filmed and cut them in one day? Fast. And Danny, you should have included Nagato Yuki as an option too:)
I think I know which video that guy made with slow motion, I remember seeing it once. A guy with great talent will be noticeable appearantly~ I always liked Haruhi best but Mikuru isn't so bad either. So are the Nagato and Tsuruya, and maybe also Kyon's sister and even Asakura are good...
Danny, thanks for showing us the commercial making process! I'm so thrilled to finally see the behind the scenes of the CM. I just absolutely love the Figmas, though I may skip the guys of the SOS Dan.
Haruhi has more character, but Mikuru is simply cute. Like them both, but in the end voted for Mikuru.
ahhh, it made me feel like getting them, but.. i'm now aiming for Lucky star series only >_< SO HARD TO GET LS SERIESSSS. each person are limited with one. >_<
Haruhi for me, and those commercials were good =D.
I love Mikuru's eyes but Haruhi's personality is more to my liking. On the stop motion action. I've worked on some amatuer stuff myself back in college so I know how much of a pain in the ass it is but also how much fun it is as well.
effort + perfection = a great CM ^___^ gotta love those stop motion animation ^^
I agree with Henry. And mikuro-chan fan here ^_^
how come yuki is not in the poll? i believe she has lots of fans too. persoanlly i like mikuru more. whenever she gets bullied, u have the rush to go and protect her. ^^;
Agreed - needs more Yuki. Actually I was more of a Haruhi fan until I bought the Max Factory Yuki figure - she has so many looks! ^^
*Borrows a book to read up on Final Cut* LOL! Sweet! Man I'm jealous! I wish I was there to witness this too! My wallet! Oh no....
In desending order: Yuki, Haruhi, Mikuru :)
no love for mikuru abao. :-(
Behind the scenes again, eh, Danny? You lucky sod. I really think that box-opening was totally useless, I know I have to open it to get to the goodies...Still, it's a very creative commercial and I whish it was longer, but then it had taken ages to shoot is. As for the girl, I can't vote because I can't decide. Actually, I have a thing for Tsuruya, is that weird?
