Hi everyone Here is the first part of a stop frame animation ive made using one of my rorkes drift dioramas. Not very accurate. Inspired by 'ZULU' Couldnt add any music, as it was a struggle to make it with windows movie maker freezing and and then losing everything i did ( i must say its not as good without music)
Next parts coming soon...(if movie maker becomes alot more helpful)
Joe. That’s fantastic. How long did it take to film that? The soldier making a loop hold in the wall is excellent. Seriously mate weldone.

hi joe. Well done again, really enjoyed the hospital battle scene. cheers 90th.
hi the final third part is ready at last! i dont know if a zulu has ever been compared to a domino-that final battle scene was a killer when all the model zulus are close together, when one falls, they all go!
Here it is...
thanks joe
hoping to post an update on my isandlwana model soon!

hi joe. Well done again , looking forward to your next one. cheers 90th.
Hi all, Just though I would post this video of the full 3 parts put together, now with sound including gunshots, zulu chants and bugle calls!!! Much better with the sound, much more enjoyable and intersting!
And also just to let you know there is also a 'missing scene' which I forgot to add, hopefully that will be along shortly!
thanks joe

Joe. That was brilliant. It seems has though you have captured the whole fighting scene, right down to Chard sticking the shield in the ground. Where else could you go with that? I really enjoyed it from the start to the end. How many times have you watch Zulu, the soldiers in the hospital making the loopholes, right down to dragging out the wounded pure excellence. I’m already looking forward to the Battle of Isandlwana. I would hate to think how long that would take to complete.
Hi Thanks for the comments, there would also be another scene with fighting in the hospital, if, youtube would let me upload it (I'll try again tomorrow).
Isandlwana, will have to wait for a bit, due to the fact I have no Zulus in that scale!
I don't remember the last time I've enjoyed watching the Movie Zulu Joe you've brought it to greater heights. Thanks for the time an effort spent in sharing it with us.......The1stLt aka Joe
