Many of our readers have seen plastic Gundam models (otherwise known as Gunpla) before. Some may even own one or two and others may have amassed an impressive collection. However, some hobbyists take their passion for Gunpla even further, making videos about their Gundam models and sharing them for others to enjoy.
If you search for Gundam model on YouTube, you'll mostly find hobbyists unboxing, building, painting, and customizing Gunpla. However, among these hobbyists, 雪代 YUKISHIRO stands out by combining god-tier stop-motion animation skills with a passion for Gundam to create truly amazing videos.
Those skills were featured in a recent video he posted on his Twitter account which looks so good you'd think it were an official commercial!

Not only does the video show off the featured Gunpla very well, but the cinematography is also remarkable, with production values rivaling a professional video. The way YUKISHIRO focuses on individual parts and highlights the sense of drama is remarkable.
It's no wonder it's so good: It took him no less than 4 months and 8300 photos to create this masterpiece!
As he explains in response to a question in the comments, he created the sequences where the parts are flying by erasing the elements he used to position them afterward with video editing software.
As you can imagine, the video elicited numerous comments both in Japanese and English expressing their amazement and praise. For example:
