Frankly, SS7, I would have to vote against it.

It's not personal, but the last three movies were not... (sorry for being blunt) good. I don't want to sound rude, but unless you greatly step up your stop motion and story delivery, I do not think that a prequel trilogy should be done. I watched most of your original movies, and--while the premise seemed good--the delivery was lacking. The fight scenes weren't done well, and some of the dialog and plot points were a little wonky.

I'm not saying I'm a good video maker--all my original stuff was s**t and you can find proof of that--but I don't think a prequel trilogy would be the best course of action for you at this time.

What I would recommend doing instead would be shorter installments. Maybe five to ten minute shorts with closed stories to each of them (or short story-arcs spanning three to five episodes). That way, you can practice with stop motion, direction, and storytelling. This way, you can advance your talents. Slowly, your ability to make videos will evolve and become better. Plus, people on YouTube would be much more willing to watch shorter videos than massive movie trilogies, and you may get more longterm viewers as well.

Basically, I'd suggest practicing more before doing more movies. That way, when you do begin to do bigger stuff, it will far outshine anything you put out originally.

Hope I didn't sound mean or put you down or anything. I just wanted to be honest with you. Hope you do keep working on videos, though. Practice makes perfect! Every new thing we do always builds up on what we've done. Just keep working, and eventually you might produce some gold!
