You must have a dope sheet to check off which directions each character is moving and to keep track of them all, even with playback in Dragon there are some insanely complicated movements to keep track of.
Really interesting and impressive seeing how many layers of composting you use to create the final shot! I find it hard to keep track of more than 4 characters at a time.
Dude you are so talented! Thanks for sharing this with your adience. I was speechless when i saw the video and now i habe an idea of how pro you compose the scene, keep it up
Awesome! I'm going to try to do the same kind of thing with my up-coming Hobbit movie coming out this April! I hope I don't fail with it xD I'm fairy new to after effects, but i know how to do some awesome stuff with it already!
great Video....great work..such patience....I would probaly smash a couple sets in frustration in only a couple hours in...and have to start over....we love the behind the scenes.....
I know it's a lot to ask but it would be very helpful to see a more detailed video of how you go about compositing in After Effects. That piece of software is about as powerful as anything commercially available to film makers, and maybe especially animators, but as you know it has a learning curve that's more of a 90-degree angle. Anything a little more detailed would be most appreciated.
Man how do you keep track of so many characters walking at the same toms and remember who taking a step and who is in mid step? I ask because it is always a tricky thing for me. I rarely will do large group shops with more than 2 or 3 characters because it is hard to make them all look fluid in their movement
Iv'e been doing stop motion for a year and I just started compoziting and it turned out pretty sweet and I was wondering if you would recomend any free compozoting sortware. I curently use gimp and hitfilm for my comps.
I think it would be cool if you could make lego videos that is like 10 minutes long and maybe you could make hole series of episodes that way. It should probley take more time but i can wait :)
Do you recommend a free program to use greenscreen? I'm planning to do a remake of Master And Commander; The Far Side of the World. I got the ships, and want to recreate a fight scene when the HMS Surprise confronts the Acheron. There's this big scene of 3 seconds when you see the Acheron opening fire on the Surprise, further away. That scene I want to make with green screen, but I want to learn it at first and have a simple cheap program to use.. Got recommendations?
from my experience, after effcts is a program that very difficult to use.it makes the computer very slow and makes very large files(30 secs=800 mb).and in priemre ,it's difficult to use the more i add layers lenth and effects, do you have same problems and how do deal with them?
Hey man I am a huge fan of your videos! I know you're really busy but I was wondering if you could give me some tips. I have just recently "dipped my toes" into green screening and I could use some advice.
Where do you get all the orcs and goblins from? Do you buy the just the minifigures, if so where, or do you keep buying the same set repeatedly. Also, can you make some videos with the new lego The Hobbit the Battle of the Five Armies sets?
I was wondering what editing system you use. It looks really cool and I may want to purchase it so if you could tell me, that would be awesome :D And also EPIC VIDEO!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDD
Hey, just wondering: I know you do Lego versions of trailers. Are you planning on doing one for Avengers Age of Ultron? That would be awesome! Love your work!
This must be the coolest job on earth
It is pretty awesome, but it takes a lot of effort to turn brickfilming into a career.
Can you make a video where it tells you how to use green screen?
I re-watched the actual video of the retelling of The Hobbit over and over again to see everything that was going on in this shot.
So much work for a scene that only goes for a few secs. I know what that is like! A real pain in the butt to move 50 army men at the same time.
So creative. Love these behind the scenes videos. Great job, It really does look pretty sweet.
How do you plan the composites so well so that they blend together? Thanks! : )
You must have a dope sheet to check off which directions each character is moving and to keep track of them all, even with playback in Dragon there are some insanely complicated movements to keep track of.
Can you create a tutorial for duplicating? I really want to make a huge army!
That’s pretty easy, just select the track and press “Ctrl D” for pc or “Command D” for Mac😊.
How do you do it on mobile?
@@scoutanimations. scam im guessing
@@freebrickstudios2132 in most mobile editing apps there is a “copy” button

You are awesome and amazing. I could never be as good as you!

Goblins and Orcs are different creatures.

I can't wait for his new lego gardens of the galaxy mini movie to come out
You sir, are a genius!
Awesome shot! I think that it took a "little" while to render all...
It's done now! (I Thought I might as well it's been 4 years since you commented that)
Some dwarfs some bats some goblins some goblins and some goblins... too much goblins

Is there going to be an side by side version of the trailer battle of the rice armies like u did with the desolation of smaug?? Would be awesome.
Man how do you keep track of so many characters walking at the same toms and remember who taking a step and who is in mid step?
I ask because it is always a tricky thing for me. I rarely will do large group shops with more than 2 or 3 characters because it is hard to make them all look fluid in their movement
My software allows me to playback a shot I am working on, so I can just take a look at my characters to see what they're doing.
mine too. its more of a discipline thing I guess
BrotherhoodWorkshop what oftware
BananaMan Dragon Frame
Awesome bro
Yeah, really awesome.
Wait so each of those Orks in the helms deep video were separate layers? Wow.
