This has been a labor of love that I tried twice in the past.  Once when I was a kid and again in the mid 90's y after I saw Alex Newborn's "Whoever dies with the most toys wins" at his house.

It basically uses some stop-motion, simple puppeteering, and my first attempt at "special" effects .  

 It is meant to be a fun way to share my custom figures and dioramas.

I could have spent years animating each shot with pain-staking stop motion and gotten some fans on the message boards to make up some amazing special effects...that was not the goal.  It is meant to have a simplistic, almost child like feel.  It is the film the 8 year version of my wanted to make.

I only used 3 3/4" and smaller figures to keep it from getting out of control with 12", busts, statues, and lifesize props.

I purposely left out the dialogue, I felt  it would have made the project too long. Thus cutting the dialogue allowed it to move at a quicker pace. I did use sound effects and music to capture the feeling.

Each chapter has been/will be released every couple of weeks.

I used a simple Canon Digic DV camera and Pinnacle Studio for editing.
