BIONICLE: Death Of A Hero - Full Fan Film

BIONICLE digital stop motion fan film, interpreting the events of the 2007 IGNITION story “Death Of A Hero“, by Greg Farshtay & Stuart Sayger. Created in dedication to the memory and legacy of TheShadowedOne1, who sadly passed in late 2022. The Toa Mahri — Jaller, Hahli, Kongu, Hewkii and Nuparu hold off the unrelenting attack of the Barraki as Matoro ventures deep into the unknown depths, clutching a mask that may be their only hope to revive the Matoran Unvierse — but at what cost? Taking inspiration from both MNOG and early Biotube stop motion animation, the film is made up of over 1,500 individual frames posed and rendered in Studio (done one-by-one, exactly as you would do with physical stop motion). The rest of the effects and editing have been done in Premiere Pro, using many assets available through Envato Elements. - Direction, Editing, Animation & The Mask Voice — msw41 - Co-directing, Audio Engineering & Toa Nuparu — Joe Hunt / Punkle0 - Toa Matoro / Turaga Nuju — Will Engel - Toa Jaller — Alex Mitts - Toa Hewkii — Colby “Mechranium“ Acott - Toa Hahli — Cassandra “kithandwa“ - Toa Kongu — Chris “chrisdaartist“ - Kalmar — SomeWeirdDroid - Ehlek — Aquacron - Pridak — Piotr “PilotFretka“ Wilk - Turaga Vakama — Thomas Barker Music (in order): - Imagination Carousel — Abstract Aprils (licensed from Uppbeat) - The Quest — Arend (licensed from Uppbeat) - If I Knew — AK (licensed from Uppbeat) - All MNOG Music – Justin Luchter - Dying Of The Light — Roo Walker (licensed from Uppbeat) - Matoro’s Sacrifice — Made by msw41 & Punkle0, using “Lyra (Nadav Cohen Rework)“ by BPMoore, and inspired by the music of Justin Luchter, Nathan Furst & Cryoshell.
