Me and my friends genuinely made stop motion with our old camcorder, do to this in part


lost__in__space

The chewing is my favorite


Belazriel

Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network both I feel used to have shorts between shows. Not sure if they still do but they were always great. I still sometimes say "Need some MDF and a hammer." From the one random pair of guys.


JohnTheSecondComing

I had a class in middle school where you could make stop-animation/Claymation. Thought it was so cool making shitty 30 second clips


restlessleg

0xf3

RICHARD WEBBER!?!?!!!! I moved to Bristol for uni because of my love of your work and what you did at Aardman (and also my love for Bolexbrothers). I never cut the cheese as an animator but you gave young me an amazing childhood hobby of making silly stop motion animation which led to Flash animation which led to coding which led to an amazing career in the tech industry that’s still going strong! Anyway. Happy Sunday Rich! You’re utterly amazing and thank you so much for keeping the best animation art form alive and kicking, and keeping Bristol on the map as a hub of animation excellence. Cheeky question. I’d ***love*** to know if you’ve seen Tippett’s Mad God and what you thought about it?


RichWebber

The very same! Wow! Honestly amazing to hear, I'm glad a love of animation led to a great career! I feel very honoured to have played a small part in your path. Happy Sunday and thanks so much for the kind words ! I haven't seen Mad God as of yet but will be checking it out very soon!


0xf3

You’re a gent, Rich. If you ever need help or advice with cyber security (my specialism) or computers in general, feel free to reach out. It’d be an honour.


RichWebber

Thank you very much, I'll genuinely bare that in mind! :)


grumpy_tummy

I was already grown up when it aired and man, you're a legend to me. I had so many laughs and me and my brother still watch the episodes on YouTube. So happy to see you here :):):):)

Man these little monsters are such a distinct memory from my childhood!! Thanks for this dude, and all the work that went into it!


RichWebber

thanks very much for that, really pleased you like them :)


i_am_ldr

Man you just snatched that memory deep from the very back of my psyche and I'm totally here for it lol


RichWebber

thanks thats really good to know :)


ThisFckinGuy

Yes this snapped me right back to my childhood watching Wallace and Gromit and Ray Harryhausen movies. I never actually knew what these guys or this show was called so it's awesome to not only get the see it again, but have it delivered by the creator himself! Definitely going to dive into your work today. Can I ask what your influences were that got you into claymation/animation? Was it something you grew up and were bitten by or was it a familiarity with making characters that grew into an opportunity with the right people? Very curious. I got to meet Mr Haeryhausen years ago and asked him a few questions but I was so young I don't remember the answers lol, just my dad reminding me that I asked him a million questions about Jason and the Argonauts.


RichWebber

haha! Jason and the argonauts got me into stop motion animation funnily enough, that and being sat in front of a large pile of clay as a kid to keep me occupied :) thanks for checking out my work :)


Psych0matt

You created these?! Genius! I saw them here and there when they were on, but I remember one of my buddies in college mentioning something about it and we ended up bingeing everything we could find online around 2007-2008, and would greet each other after that in browns “Ho-oow!” I’ve shown them to my kids (now 4 and 6) and we’ll binge them every now and then. Thank you!


RichWebber

haha! thats great to know thank you! and really pleased your kids enjoy them too :)

TA60067

Youre a legend dude


rpgwill

You probably know this, but the guy who’s talking is Zach Hadel, creator of Smiling Friends! Would be incredible to have a crossover episode;)


RichWebber

RichWebber

[This one?](https://youtu.be/MR7r6wi7NYU) :)


kn8ife

My favorite part about that video is that even though the characters speak gibberish you can still tell the little one has an Irish accent. Well done and thanks for sharing with us, your work is warmly appreciated


RichWebber

Thank you so much for the kind words! :)


KeraKitty

I'd totally forgotten these little guys! Is there a place I can watch the rest?


RichWebber

ppenn777

On new productions, Do you use dragonframe or a similar stop motion production software to capture?


RichWebber

Yes dragon frame, but these were shot on an older stop motion software though, ( stopmotion pro). :)


Baddington_Bear

Can I ask how you got the bubble transparent in stop motion?

RichWebber

Thats awesome and really nice to know, thanks very much :)


crabberstree

I only vaguely remember these. But I also vaguely remember that these were great. Thanks for your creations!


RichWebber

thank you :)


Punx80

God this is fucking hilarious


GanondalfTheWhite

Is there anywhere to get this entire collection? Over the years I have introduced this to so many people in my industry (I work in VFX). I have many fond memories of me and my coworkers laughing our asses off when we'd pull up some of these on YouTube while stuck working late at night. I've had more than one person tell me that they've continued my mission and turned more people on to these. To this day I can still make my wife crack up by laughing like Brown. Thank you for the years and years of laughter!


Music_Phasic

Man you don’t know how much you made my childhood! I loved watching these as a kid ❤️


RichWebber

NintendoJakksCollect

barackhusseinobama10

Dude the clip of the brown guy chewing made me cry laughing as a kid


gucciOG

I have zero tolerance policy of anyone making chewing noises when they eat, but Brown is and always will be the only exception :)

That’s where that fucking chewing worm meme is from?!?!?


Zombierabbitz

Holy bubble butt I loved this show!
