Timeline
Previous	BIONICLE Mata

BIONICLE Nuva is a comedy-action series created by Jam Pot Studios and is hosted on the video-hosting site YouTube. It revolves around the Toa Nuva and their adventures on Mata Nui during the attack by the Bohrok Kal, and is being released concurrently with BIONICLE Mata. As of February 2015, production on the series is on an indefinite hiatus.

Production

While creator had the idea for Nuva earlier in the year, production on the series only began shortly before the release of Fire & Ice. While it began as predominantly comedy, the writer intends for the series to occasionally take a more serious tone and deviate into action where possible.

After the release of The Suva Scuffle, it was decided that Nuva and Ids5621's Mata would exist within the same continuity, despite their differing visual styles.

A still of Po-Wahi from MNOG, digitally animated to fit the visual style of the series.

Pohatu, with two small Rahi magnetized to him. The Matoran figurehead was a cutout, standing independently from the backdrop.

The animator has had to improvise many parts over the course of the series, from not possessing any of the Turaga's actual feet to the lack of 2003 Le- and Onu-Matoran sets.

Tahu, as seen in The Suva Scuffle. The series is noted for its heavy use of MNOG stills for backdrops, as can be seen here.

Lewa walking through a blizzard in Ko-Wahi. The snow was added digitally, as was the motion of Lewa bobbing up and down as he walks.

A silent Toudo leads Lewa through the blizzard.
