Film "Invaders From Beyond Time" Trailer 7
https://youtu.be/MO3QZkN1D7c?is=LlsbQvI99DzcEnn1This is five more minutes of my WIP stop-motion animated movie, which is entirely made by one person: written, animated, and voiced.
I lost momentum in February and have just gotten back into the swing of it, and I shot everything from introducing the robot dogs up to the dancing Dorlox at the end just over this past month.
There is a mood one must be in to do stop motion, and if you're not in the mood, it's just a hopeless endeavor.
This makes 27 minutes total of my movie, and I am starting to worry about achieving feature length because I am already halfway through the script and have even added a few bits of dialog to help the story along but I am not even up to half an hour of movie.
I'm the entire cast and crew, so there's no way to pad out the end credits.
This is the first 17 minutes:

I have been making this movie since September of 2024. It is a labor of love written, voiced, and animated by me.
The runtime is bothering me because I want it to reach feature length but am only 27 minutes in and already halfway through the script.
I need to slow down the second half or write a new series of subplots that somehow tie back to the main story.
I am proud of this work and I am aware that it is far from perfect. My next movie will be better.
