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 in the meantime you can watch episodes 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

My name is Benjamin Ely, but I'm called rioforce on the internet.

I've been an animator for over 17 years, and still enjoy every moment at the animation desk. Telling stories fuels me, and animation just seems like the perfect medium to do that. I specialize in stop-motion animation, working with companies such as Stikbot and Jazwares, but am also skilled in CGI animation and video editing.

Inside the realm of stop-motion, I primarily enjoy animating with LEGO brand toys for personal projects. This is called brickfilming. However, I'm always experimenting in new mediums and with new products in my drive to always make something better.

On my YouTube channel, I upload my stop-motion animations as well as tutorials and teaching videos to help others learn about the craft. Please check some of them out below!
