Amphibia - M67

At last our first video of the year, and actually this is also technically the 7 year anniversary of the first video on our channel; Slime’s PSA about double posting. So hurray, we’re ancient!

also also got 3 bonkle vids in the works

[Leoxander]

Seven years!?

[Cordax]

Very nice, I was waiting for y’all to do an episode about amphibia!

[Waj]

@Leoxander

Seven years!?

No score and seven years ago, a group of moderators brought forth, upon these TTV Message Boards, a new podcast, conceived in spite of the admins, and dedicated to the proposition that all videos are created collaboratively.

@Cordax

Very nice, I was waiting for y’all to do an episode about amphibia!

Glad to hear it, hope you enjoy the episode!

[Ghid]

man you had the opportunity to say no score and seven years ugh smh smh ugh smh

[Waj]

Seven years and I still can’t write a parody. Actually here, in the spirit of collaboration (definitely not theft) I changed it.

history is a lie

We’re launching a BIONICLE Documentary Series on a new channel!

Been hinting at it since 2021

@Waj

The reason for the constant hiatuses is because we’re working on a new series for Modularity, and have been developing it since May 2020. I’m not going to say what it is, but if you like our concept art episodes, you’ll definitely like it.

@Waj

Oh yeah, I mentioned that we’ve been working on a new series for Modularity. I’ll confirm that it is indeed about BIONICLE and that the Rebel Nature interview was just a small part of our conversation with Faber.

@Waj

Man… 6 years…

151 videos edited…

ALL JUST A PRACTICE ROUND.

NOW:

@Waj

I’ve mentioned we’ve been working on a new BIONICLE series these past 2 years. Hoping to get it out soon.

@Waj

Things didn’t quite go to plan this year due to certain circumstances that I won’t go into, but 2023 should be the year we finally release our new BIONICLE series

The first episode releases August 10th on the Behind BIONICLE channel.

There’s a lot I want to say about the details and development of this project, as it took a lot to get going, with initial plans stretching back all the way to late 2016, but it will have to wait.

(We’ll make a new topic for it once the first episode releases, since ‘coming soon’ topics aren’t allowed on the boards).

[Ghid]

lol that youtube channel thumbnail is great

can’t wait to see what you guys have in store. I’m sure you’ll do it justice!

[Rukah]

Intriguing to say the least

Behind BIONICLE - We Uncovered The Truth about the Origins of Constraction

Our New BIONICLE Documentary Channel & Series!

The first episode will be releasing on August 10th @ 11 AM EDT on the Behind BIONICLE channel, https://www.youtube.com/@BehindBIONICLE

It’ll tackle the untold struggle of pitching the concept of LEGO Constructible Action Figures (constraction) to LEGO TECHNIC. That is, it wasn’t Christian Faber’s Cybots project as most had assumed. This is not a story that’s been told before, as we were the ones to uncover it. The person who we interviewed had been granted permission by the LEGO Group to share their story with us, along with never before seen concept sketches.

Since the series will be interview based we will be making a companion podcast called “Closer Look” that will release here on Modularity, where we’ll further discuss our research/findings.

Oh wow
Looking forward to watching this on Bionicle Day!

[DuneToa]

Wow! I should definitely watch this!

Behind BIONICLE E1 will be premiering in 30 mins!

The Untold Struggle Behind BIONICLE

[Ghid]

Some of these '96 sketches for the collectible characters (collector, evolver, etc.) need to be a mocing collab, those designs are super fun.

Regardless, this is a well put-together video with information that I’m really surprised hasn’t come out before now. Fantastic journalistic work, fellas; can’t wait to see the next video.

Also great job on the art, Pakari, it’s solid

@Ghid

Also great job on the art, Pakari, it’s solid

@Waj Excited to finally see this project come to fruition! I gave it a full watch-through a couple of days ago and haven’t had a chance to put my thoughts out there, but my goodness did you blow me away with the production!

I’ll be honest that for a while I felt like I probably could have done a better job on the art, but I think the animations and effects you added pulled the entire thing together, I was literally stunned!

And of course, I was very honored to have had the chance to help you guys tell this never-before-told story! Episode 1 was fantastic, and I can’t wait for the next one! Well done!

Thanks man! Tbh I felt like I could have done a lot better job with the motion graphics and effects. It was great working with you on this and I think your artwork really added a lot to the presentation of the story.

Also on a related unrelated note, Behind BIONICLE now has its own boards topic:

Behind BIONICLE

An Interview Based BIONICLE Documentary Series Our first episode explores the true origin of LEGO Constraction; it wasn’t Christian Faber’s Cybots. This is not a story that’s been told before, as we were the ones to uncover it. Originally this series was made for Modularity, but we decided to branch it off onto its own channel and we briefly explain what it’s all about here: [Our New BIONICLE Documentary Channel & Series!]

Behind Behind BIONICLE - A Brief History

This project started out as an idea I had all the way back in late 2016 when I was editing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84n1wUZNY1A&amp;ab_channel=Modularity">Connecting the Joints</a> for Modularity. I got Slime involved in early 2017 and based on an idea I had…

[Waj]

Finally taking a closer look…

Origin of LEGO Action Figures - Closer Look

Meant to get this done sooner, but yeah this is a companion podcast to Behind BIONICLE episode 1. I explain a bit of why it’s taken so long to finish episode 2 in the description.

@Waj

If anyone has suggestions for other sites we could be on definitely lettuce know

For extra sites, have you considered misskey, pixiv or bluesky to post blogs? Also I would suggest speaking Japanese if you are going to post blogs on misskey and pixiv.

Also for the next Modularity episode review, how about doing a review on James Gunn’s Creature Commandos?

[DuneToa]

@Au-Plau-Se

Also I would suggest speaking Japanese

That might be a problem, seeing as I don’t know whether any of the mods know Japanese well enough to speak it for an entire episode.

[Au-Plau-Se]

@DuneToa

That might be a problem, seeing as I don’t know whether any of the mods know Japanese well enough to speak it for an entire episode.

That will not be a problem. There is Duolingo as well as Google Translate.

And speaking of, to the Modularity team, is fanart okay with you guys? I will give full credit.
