Life of the Christ

Currently in production

Life of the Christ is an ongoing stop-motion animated series of short films focusing on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ with a focus on his ministry, relationships, and humanity.

This project will be compiled into a feature length film once completed, but you can watch chapters as I release them on my YouTube channel. The first episode, The Nativity of the Christ is live now and can be watched on YouTube.

About

rioforce photo

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."
