From doing a little stop motion, I realize how hard it actually is lol. It requires you to brainstorm and plan beforehand, and have loads of patience. This video was super informative! Thanks brotha
For me, stop motion production and post are about the same but I tend to skip storyboard and script completely. This is because I usually have the story in my head, the main idea, which I hold onto throughout the whole production. I write the script for longer projects tho. I think that the only useful time to create a storyboard for stop motion projects is when you are working with other people. This helps other members of production to understand what the entire film is all about. But when I do all the work alone, no storyboard is needed, since there is no one else working towards the same goal.
I’ve always struggled with two aspects: getting good, cinematic, yet colorful lighting and just trying new animating techniques in general; it takes me a lot of time just to learn a simple punch animation that’s different. Watching stop motions, mainly Linkinpop13, as a kid inspired me to eventually make my own, and from then on I learned to develop a passion for VFX and now I know what career I want and am working for. I am forever in debt to what Brickfilms have done for me in my life. always great to here from you, and we are awaiting the next continuation!
My and my friend always love to do stop motion with movies and legos even though we’re kids. We are so interested in it and it is our hobby. This guys inspires us and shows us how to do stop motion.
Great information. I write a script and then go from there, as I can see it play out in my head. My first animation was like a comic strip and little movement (I chose dolls that have limited articulation). But I learned from watching, reading, and just trying new things. I'm still really choppy as I have a camera that cannot use stop motion software and so I simply wing it and try my best. What I found interesting was that the improvement from my first comic strip limited motion first video to my 5th is a huge jump. It takes time, patience and perseverance. Stop motion is so much fun and a rewarding hobby.
im a 2D animator, i really enjoy and respect any form of film making that uses stop motion or animation in general, i really love your videos they are really great, from the ,music, sound effects, story, voice acting, YOUR BACKGROUNDS MADE OUT OF LEGOS I LOVE THEM SO MUCHH OMGGG, keep it up man :3
Thanks for making this! Your my favorite Lego Stop Motion Creator, and you've inspired me to do a Lego Stop Motion myself too! I'm doing Lego Minecraft, but I need to have a Village setting, and the actual Set that Lego made is over 800 dollars! So here is a video idea that I hope you can make: Could you please make a video of what pieces I need and how to build your MOC Villager House and Town Hall? If you do actually make that a video, then thank you.
Next idea: Lego 🧟♂️ APOCALYPTIC BREAKDOWN SEASON 1 Episode 1: The Start of the Undead Pandemic A man is seen coming out of his grave with a very damaged and bleeding face. Cut to a city, where a cafe worker is seen with her boyfriend. They suddenly hear a loud explosion and check to see the whole city in panic. They also see the man from the start, with a lot more zombies. The zombies approach the cafe and some people, including the boyfriend, get bitten and die in the spot. The last scene in the episode is the cafe worker running while crying from the loss of her boyfriend, without knowing someone is watching her run into the woods. Episode 2: The Woodlows The cafe worker is gasping for breath and checks clearly that there are no zombies in the woods, but soon find out the zombiefied man from episode 1 is chasing her. He soon gets shot and faints for a moment. We see that there is a man named Louie and he shot the zombie. While running, he explains to the cafe worker that his name is Louie and that the zombies never die. The only way to kill them is to wait for them to starve for two years. Until then, they have to stay in “The Woodlands”, which is a place that used to be a homeless shelter that got transformed by people from the wilderness. They predicted the zombie outbreak and decided not to go to the city, and Louie was in charge of rescuing people from the city. The episode ends as they reach the Woodlands, to see the people there called “The Woodlows”. Episode 3: Time, Patience and Blood 🩸 Cut to an year later. The cafe worker’s name is revealed as “Jane” and she has been staying in the Woodlands for an year now. Her new boyfriend is now Louie, and they plan on getting married the next month. Suddenly, while they are eating breakfast, the rescue team comes back with 5 survivors from the city, Emmit, Jack, Lester, Anne Mary and Parker. It is revealed to us that Anne Mary has discovered a cure and begged the rescue team to rescue them. Cut to a month later, Louie and Jane are married and are friends with Anne Mary. Meanwhile the four men, Emmit, Parker, Lester and Jack have formed their own group called “The City Hounds”. Sounds more like a football team to me. People from the Woodlands are slowly moving to support The City Hounds, hearing that they will be raiding the city the next day. Although Louie suggests that they should wait until the next year, when the zombies starve to death, but they refuse saying that the food source is dirty, and soon, their food will run out. People make weapons for the raid and start going out. The remaining people in the Woodlands is Anne Mary, Louie, Jane and the Rescue Team. Also 3 people named Jason, Tania and Howard. Their food source is running out, so they decide to hunt for a little bit. Luckily, they find undamaged cows and pigs, along with some carrots, potatoes and fresh water. The episode ends with a bad feeling of the raid going wrong, a feeling that the city hounds are losing the raid. Episode 4 (Finale for Season 1): Time is running out, Impatience and Flesh 🩸 🧟 Anne Mary has now finished the cure. She plans to meet up with the city hounds and release the cure to the open, yet Louie and Mary are not a fan of the idea. First of all, nobody knows if the city hounds are alive and secondly, they don’t know if the cure works or not. Anne Mary becomes very frustrated and leaves with the cure in the night, looking for the city hounds. We see Anne Mary reaching g the city and finding Emmit, Parker and Jack, hiding in a corner, seeming frightened. When she asks what’s wrong, a zombified Lester bites her, which causes all the cures to splatter all over the place. Emmit manages to save one bottle of the cure, and the men are seen running back to the woodlands. We also see Anne Mary getting eaten alive by lots of zombies, just like in most zombie movies. All the zombies storm to the trio of men, eventually almost catching up. Parker suddenly apologizes and says that he should never have asked them to raid the cities, before jumping into the storm of zombies to buy time for the two to run. The two push the gates of the Woodlands open and close and lock them right away, screaming like girls. Louie and Jane punch them in the face for being idiots. The four suddenly see the storm, hundreds of thousands of zombies coming to the gates. They barricade the entrance with spiked walls and cannons. Jason and Howard shoot at the zombies while Tania and Jack drop the remaining bombs to the zombies. Louie gets a bow and starts putting fire on the arrows. This burns lots of zombies to the ground. Emmit is a big wussy so he hides with lots of food and water in the basement. The zombies manage to make it through the gate and start overpowering Howard and Jason immediately. Howard and Jason retreat, letting the zombies detect Emmit, eventually biting the little man to death. Meanwhile, Louie knows that if they stay like this, they will all die anytime soon, so he asks Jane and Tania for the bombs and a jacket. They don’t get what he’s saying but does as he says anyways. Louie suddenly says that it was great knowing all of them, after stuffing over 30 bombs in his jacket. He says that he loves Jane before jumping into all the zombies, eventually killing him and all the zombies. Everyone is seen crying for Louie. The next scene is a cut to 5 years later, there is a giant statue of Louie and The Woodlands has developed into a village. Jane is elected leader of the village, and Tania has released her own hit bakery. Howard and Jason are best friends now, they own a very big company called “HJ Corps: Woodlands”. The first season ends as Jane talks about civilization developing again, and that there will not be further chaos. The post credit scene shows a infected Anne Mary in the basement of HJ Corps, locked in a tube full of green liquid. She manages to break out, making us think that the zombie outbreak may start again.
Ive started using storyboards but only for major fight scenes because improvising them isnt working out, although im still going to improvise more minor fight scenes
Were are you? Are you okay? When’s the Halloween competition vid coming out? Are you getting close to finishing part two of “The Night Of The Nether? ? ? ?
Hey I was the guy from the stream a while back- Mathias- but when if you know do you think you’ll do a stream and also post PT 2 of Night of the Nether
Hey Mathias I’ve been thinking about you man! I’m in college so I don’t really have access to my set much of the time but I hope to get back to it soon! You can follow my Instagram to stay updated on the latest! @theactionbrick
Stop motion today is hard and requires a lot of patience even with current technology, what Ray Harryhausen did in his day must've been extremely hard.
Great tutorial bro! A bit random but I'm trying to improve at animation and it would be great to get some advice/feedback on my recent videos? If not all goods, awesome vid man!

Hey TD bricks
That Harry Potter one was great

As a stop motion creator I can say it is very difficult it takes a long time and you cant have any natural light
yep

LegoAnimations6370 I do the same I feel doing it this way saves time
What i would do
I’ve always struggled with two aspects: getting good, cinematic, yet colorful lighting and just trying new animating techniques in general; it takes me a lot of time just to learn a simple punch animation that’s different.
Watching stop motions, mainly Linkinpop13, as a kid inspired me to eventually make my own, and from then on I learned to develop a passion for VFX and now I know what career I want and am working for. I am forever in debt to what Brickfilms have done for me in my life.
always great to here from you, and we are awaiting the next continuation!
Impressive and interesting. Cool idea for shooting the rope separately 👌 turned out sick!

Are you ever gonna do another stop motion contest
Were are you? Are you okay? When’s the Halloween competition vid coming out? Are you getting close to finishing part two of “The Night Of The Nether? ? ? ?
What editing software do you use ??
How do you do the lighting
watching this cause I have a stop motion project due tomorrow and I only have the storyboard done...
Question about contest: I didn’t see my entry in playlist so was wondering if u saw it
hey a question for the stop motion is always an animatic or not necessary
Which program do you use to delete the holder from the finished film?
Hey I was the guy from the stream a while back- Mathias- but when if you know do you think you’ll do a stream and also post PT 2 of Night of the Nether
Hey Mathias I’ve been thinking about you man! I’m in college so I don’t really have access to my set much of the time but I hope to get back to it soon! You can follow my Instagram to stay updated on the latest! @theactionbrick
@@TheActionBrick I don’t have Instagram just yet but ima get it soon so I’ll keep that in mind. Hope your doing well😄

Hi do you have discord
Can you made a video how to download stop motion studio pro in computer
I now you voice from Steve :D
Something that kinda bothered me about this was that the string went behind the figure and not in front.
tbh, stopmotion si harder to make that a 2d animation. who agrees?
What is your FPS?
Either 10 or 15.
Can you please remake the clash royal video as a rematch of each players
Great tutorial bro! A bit random but I'm trying to improve at animation and it would be great to get some advice/feedback on my recent videos? If not all goods, awesome vid man!
Bruh i can do that with code lyoko toys
