ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE SHED - Stop-motion short 

Was I the only one having waaaaay too much fun with "Ah, you little shi...."

That snail was adorable.

How the fuck did you tame that snail. Great video, best stop motion I've seen in quite a while! Awesome job!!

The snail-horse made my day

That was really well done. I like how the snail was among the fastest thing in the show.

Thanks for all the nice comments over the past year. This film's got me to some great festivals in the last few months, and now festival seasons over I'm happy to change this from an unlisted video to a public one. All the best and thanks again! Barnaby Dixon

Holy shit this is intense, the music, dramatic zooms, snails, guns and girls all combined to make this epic piece.

the thing that makes it a kicker for me is just how did you get that snail to do what you wanted :P great video man

the best kind of originality! loved it!

Holy.....this is one of the most creative stop-motions I've ever seen! I made sure to share it. This deserves *all* the views! The brilliance level of this is through the roof. I'm still scratching my head wondering how you did much of it. xD

hope that snail doesn't charge by the hour. fun video

I love how the snail peeps his head up into the shot at the end of the video :)

Kick ass! I'm a stop motion freak, and I haven't seen anything this creative in a long time. It was Microcosm and Toy Soldiers and a spaghetti western in one, but more fun. MORE PLEASE!

lol the snailhorse was awesome. I hope that doing this film paves he's way to stardom.

Brilliant. Perfect mix of humour and tension. I love how you can always instinctively read the the characters' emotions and expressions even though they don't have a face.

This is one of the most creative things I've ever seen. You animated marionettes a live snail with stop motion. You absolute madman.

Bravo!! Best stop motion i've ever seen. Very creative and good lighting and filming.

Never seen anything like this. Pretty awesome. Pretty damn creative at that. But uhh.. watch for Peta lol.

Just watching old Barnaby videos, this is one of the most unique animations I've ever seen and holy shit is it well made + the music and camera work is the cherry on top

The snail is my favourite. It's really cool how you kind of broke the fourth wall, too. Overall it's very creative and well done. :D

That restored my faith in humanity. Amazing work. Thanks for sharing!

I am blown away by your talent and skill. Made me smile a lot

This is amazing. I love the title, and the design of the puppets go wonderfully with the surroundings of the shed! Hit all the wonderful tropes of westerns, and of course that horse snail had a silly smile plastered on my face the whole time. :) Thank you for making and posting this!! Hope all is well.

Watched this video 3 times during the past year...keep LOVING how you managed to put in so much little details while working with the snail.

This is absolutely brilliant I am sharing right away!

This is amazing! Great and creative use of the insects!

I remember this from a whole back, didn't realize till now that you were the one who made this. I love the use of the bugs as animals, that was so clever. Same with that forth wall break. Great writting

The guy who created this is a genius!

I wasn't expecting the 4th Wall to be smashed like that. But I love how it was done.

That was great, I loved the snail, cowboy interaction, Bravo, can only give 1 like, but I would give this 5 stars.

Yaaaay i actually claped when it ended. ....my stop motions will never be good like this.

That ending though!Brilliant!

I liked how the snail was a horse it WAS SO CUTE!!! I LOVE SNAILS AND SLUGS!!!!!

I've been looking for good stop motion for a long time. Here it is!

haha fucking awesome, love the snail

This is an incredible film! Keep up the originality!

Hahaha! that was really well done. I love how you used the bugs and snails as characters.

You are the MAN, congratulations I love your work!!!

That snail is now immortalised in this short film. Amazing work. Liked and favourited.

This was SO fun to watch. My partner came over to see what I was doing and we were sucked in suddenly to the point of gasping at the plot twists. Brilliant!

Holy shit, that was such a charming movie. Really good work.

This is the first time I see a fourth-wall break in a stop-motion short.

This is my favorite western. Love the snail mount!

What a great little short! I literally laughed out loud.

Dude you have an awesome talent in cinematic ! Great work, this deserves more views!

This is an awesome video. I wish I could be this creative. This is one of the mist impressive stop motion self made videos I've ever seen

Brilliant! I think you Ray Harryhausen would be proud. I think Quentin Tarantino would love this.

HOLY CRAP this is amazing! The amount of work and effort put into this must have been ridiculous but it turned out really really good :D I am so showing all my friends this

Wow, superb work, the details! The animals, and combining of shed/real world sounds! Well done, sir, well done

I wish I could like this one 1.000.000 times =D

Wow. Just wow. There are no words. *applauds*

I honestly can't praise and thank you enough. This was a treat to watch. This is real treasure. Thank you so much.

So awesome best use of seven minutes all day

The best stop motion i have ever seen! Keep up the good work!

Saw this on BiDiPi and had to watch. I'm really glad I click it, because it was one of the best stop motions I've ever seen. Awesome music and great use of snail :D

This is literally just too cool. The music made it even more intense, & I loved the snail!

My jaw never stopped dropping, I nearly had to pick it up off the floor!

May your brilliant creativity never be thwarted!

wonderful recreation of a timeless classic... done in great and innovative stop-motion such an excellent piece!

I just loved the snail effect! w

This is brilliant! Never thought that snails can be made cute.

That was awesome!! The camerawork was sublime :)

This was awesome! I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed watching this video. Great work, it absolutely blew me away, and the snail! I loved every bit of it!

Ha, that was cool! I really liked how you had a live snail with stop motion and how you broke from their reality to show the puppeteer, great job!

Loved the use of bugs.

I absolutely love it! That was amazing! :D You do great work!

Thanks for all your comments guys, truly appreciated ;)

I loved the bugs and the sounds Ohmygod amazing

This is the best stop-motion video I've ever seen, bravo Hope to see more of your work in the near future :)

You sir, have earned a place in my favorites.

This is awesome! I love stop motion and you killed it here. So creative!

That was so very awesome!

how many takes did it take to get all of the bugs and the snail to work so perfectly like they did in the video?

(I watched this hours ago but forgot to comment whoops) I've now also watched all of your animations and I have no words. I'm completely blown away by how much time and effort was put into all of these and how skilled you truly are. I love seeing this more serious side to your work, where there's a story being told and a much more serious tone, whereas with the puppets, obviously it's also incredibly hard work and insane skill but it's more humorous and lighthearted. Your work is really well-rounded, it really covers a lot of bases! I'm even more excited to see what else you do in the future, knowing what you're capable of.

To add to all that was said, beautiful continuity!!! Really well done and very enjoyable piece of shooting... both meanings. :)

I was gonna make some witty comment but wow man great stuff! It must have taken forever to animate. Props!

The end part with the hand was clever af

but how did you convince the snail to play along? it didn't look like much in the beginning, but it was awesome. great work!

Incredible work Barney. I hope you go far. You sure have the skills too x

I’ve never seen anyone animate with insects, amazing

This was so well made! I love the music, snail, and the grungy look of the cowboys :). Thanks for creating and sharing this with everything.

Best stop-motion ever

Best Western I've ever seen

How this and many of your other videos do not have millions of views is beyond me !

Well written, extremely well shot, well edited in regards to both audio and visuals, well constructed, all around amazing work.
