Hey steemit community! My name is Tyson James and I'm a professional stop motion animator and filmmaker, and am super excited about this platform. My goal is to establish an animation community here on the steemit platform, with an emphasis on the stop motion industry. I love to critique animation, discuss projects, and the state of the animation industry overall, so if that is something that interests you let me know and we'll get a conversation going!
Here are several links to check out my work if interested:

great work @tysonjames, and welcome to STEEMIT! :) that's some really amazing stop motion animation there! You should stop by the Whaleshares Community on discord. I think you may find at least a few people quite interested in learning more about your work, and possibly even rewarding you for creating some as well! :)

so glad you stopped by, you came by at a "quiet" time, but I'm sure you'll feel "right at home" in relatively short order!
I also felt compelled to share some of your great work with the group already too! :D

welcome to steemit. That is some awesome work you do there. I have always been fascinated by stop-motion animation, but the closest thing was a movie I made with my brother and father , back in the 70'ties using legos , and a super 8 camera. I look forward to see more from you and to follow your initiative. you might want to reach out to @charlotteblacker. she does stop motion too.

oh and by the way. it is always a good idea to include an image in your posts. steemit is not able to generate thumbnails from videos(at least I dont know how) . If I post a video, I always make sure to also have a still, which can work as my thumbnail image. Something to catch peoples attention

Hey thanks, I appreciate it! Ya know, lego films have been making a comeback, so maybe it's time to pull out that super 8 camera again...
Will definitely take a peek at charlotte's work!

Hi Tyson,
Welcome to Steemit! Your work looks amazing! I'm a CG-artist / Cinematographer myself. Also done some stop-motion projects a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Would be great to talk shop!

I'm a huge fan of stop motion animation. I've watched all of Ray Harryhausen's movies several times. He was inspired by the original King Kong, which is a masterpiece.
I love your duct tape tribute to Tron, imitating the light-cycles. Fantastic!

Wow great work!! I love stop motion - I've only attempted it a handful of times in my life but I have a huge admiration for it. You've got the antics down beautifully.
Definitely following - and I'll probably join any animation community you start haha!
