Life of the Christ

Currently in production

Life of the Christ is an in-production stop-motion short films focusing on the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ with a focus on his ministry, relationships, and humanity.

As I work on this project, some chapters will go up on YouTube independently, while others will be part of the final short film. It'll all be free on YouTube! The first episode, The Nativity of the Christ is live now and can be watched on my channel.

About

My name is Benjamin Ely, and I run the animation studio rioforce.

I've been an animator for over 17 years. Telling stories is what I was made to do, and stop-motion animation is the perfect medium to make my ideas a reality.

I post most of my animations on my YouTube channel, where I also I upload stop-motion tutorials to help teach and inspire others about filmmaking.

"Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
