Kenshen Productions: About Kenshen Productions

Kenshen Productions is an amateur video production team made out of Kenneth and his multiple personalities. The beginning of K.Productions traces back all the way to 2009 with my first full feature film which was an adaptation of the Japanese hit movie "Crows Zero". Under the banner of Penang Crows Studios, I continued to make short films and music videos with a bunch of friends. (Click here to view the full list of videos by Penang Crows Studios).

In August 2011, I made my very first transformers stop motion video, Transformers Light of the Moon Episode 1. Initially the series was planned to be a one-off with only 3 episodes. During post production, it was extended to 4 episodes to keep each video below 10 minutes. Due to the encouraging response to the series, Episode 5 Blackout Attacks was made before a 4 month hiatus.

I am largely inspired by other stop-motion youtubers such as Patrick Boivin, Counter656, Jordan Tseng and our very own Malaysian, Harris Loureiro. Though my videos are no where as good as theirs, I still hope it is adequate to be entertaining.

The series continued in February 2012 with another installment of 4 episodes. While the first 5 episodes were based on Earth, the second "season" was targeted to be more of a background story, telling the history of Cybertron and how Optimus Prime came to be. Season 2 ended in May and Season 3 did not come out for another 7 months.

In between the seasons, K.Productions made figure reviews as well as music videos on various genres. Finally in January 2013, Season 3 arrived in what many claimed to be the best season yet. Featuring another 4 episodes of Cybertronian history, this installment focused more on character development of individual transformers.

Due to a hectic 2013, the transformers series was put on hold for an entire year but is finally back with Episode 15: War . A considerable improvement in graphics can be seen due to the usage of Adobe After Effects in post production. (To know more about the software and gadgets I used for stopmotion, click here . )
