Thank you very much, Benjamin! I'm always happy to hear that children enjoyed watching the magic of stop motion animation. My 7-years old daughter is my benchmark, she reviews every piece of my work, and we watch a lot of other LEGO stop motion animations together. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Great brickfilm! I like your uses of light effects and the animation of the destroyed skeletton! And the set are great too! A good alchemy to make an D&D ambient😍By the way, I had a lot of fun with the special guest at the end🤣
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Yeah, I must admit I was struggling a bit with a proper ending. The goal was to make it memorable and to keep it as an open-ending for a potential sequel. It think the current ending does the job well - I see in the analytics that many viewers scroll back to this scene pretty often :)
Thank you for your kind words! I must say that I put a bit of a preasure on myself with those materials documenting progress as well as with the trailer I released about three weeks ago. And the first pre-release render had a few issues I was not super happy with, but I was able to fix them for the final release. I'm happy it's out there, the positive feedabck is very uplifting and I already started thinking about next projects. Thanks for the support!
Wow. Splendid job, man. The ambient at the end hits really well, 🎉 and he is very cool but yeah, I understand that chorus of nos... 😅 Vines were cool, but so was the fire afterwards. And both were IMO shadowed by how charred skeleton turned to ash. Torch flickering was a bloody good touch, so were different voices. Oh, it was very hard to see in the night. I'll rewatch on max brightness. Bravo. 🎉❤
Dear Lord, this is absolutely magnificent! :0 I am beyond impressed, the whole vibe you're creating with the lighting, cinematography, set design, animation, voice acting and sound effects is truly amazing! Top notch! The immersion into this fantasy world is absolutely incredible! And that ending was also hilarious! xD Fantastic work! :D
Thank you so much for your kind words, Maxi! ❤️ It makes it all worth the effort when such a talented fellow stop-motion animator recognizes all those difficult parts. Thank you, my friend!
Indeed, I think this project deserves a dedicated behind-the-scenes video where I could share some interesting tricks I used to achieve desired look & feel. I've been recording timelapses during ~70% production time and I don't want this to be wasted (I've put just a small portion of them in the closing titles.)
wow this was truly excellent I hope your channel gets more attention I'll make sure to share it in a community post! I loved the set design and voice acting everything was super well made. Also I liked the inclusion of the time lapse of you setting everything up. The ending was a funny twist 🤣
Thank you so much for your kind words! The twis in the end was something I wanted to put in a different animation, but then I realized it would be a perfect ending for this one - memorable, and it is still an open ending that can lead to a sequel video. It feels like I had a good feeling about it :) Thanks for your suppor, Rio! Merry Christmas!
I have question about torches in the hands of minifigures. Did you somehow light them up, direct on them light from different sources or you add it in post production?
I used small LED lights I bought from Aliexpress (link: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oB2EO55), model/color name 10PCS1220227-Y. These are 1x1 round plates with small LED on top of the stud. Then I attached 1x1 transparent orange round plate on it and then I attached a flame part so it was lighten directly from the bottom. I also used a 1/4 diffusion filter on the lens to soften the highlights and get this hazy aura around the flames. No other post processing needed.
Btw, if you take a closer look, you will see tiny cables behind the minifigs in the scenes where the torches were used :) I didn't bother masking them out, this way it feels more natural imho.
I haven't have a chance to do any commissione work yet. But who knows what the future brings - if I build up my portfolio enough to attract someone for a paid gig, I would consider moving a bit away from my software developer job :)
You can email me at the address in the channel description, but I don't promise anything. My pipeline is full right now, with the main focus on the "Unfinished Quest" sequel and one new project I recently started, so I won't commit to anything while those are ongoing.
I love how you created druid spell of vines trapped skeleton.
Thank you! Yeah, I took three takes on that single animation and the final effect was definitely worth the effort.
The set design was just excellent!
Thank you!
This is really good! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for your kind words!
Very well done, my children and I have watched this several times, catching new details each time!

Amazing movie! I love the detailed setups and the story! Great twist at the end 🤣. And I hope for a sequel to the unfinished quest ☺
Thank you! Yeah, I'm happy this video is finally out, and now I can start thinking about the next one 😉

Fantastic! Did not disappoint after watching the work in progress videos! Your sets and LED lighting are so effective - looking forward to more!

Oh wow, what cool lighting, sick! And great use of the new 3-in-1 set too 😄
Thanks! I bought 31120 3-in-1 set just to shoot that scene 😆
The quality of the animation is insane!
Thank you for your kind words!
Amazing! I love the vibe of this film, and the shots are beautiful
Thank you so much!
This was awesome! Great work, what an achievement! Made me want more of the series.
Awesome, thank you! I plan to release a sequel in the first half of 2025, stay tuned!
Amazing! More D&D! :)
Thanks! More to come! 😁
You should make a video about how you make these stop motions with some tips and tricks! :)

Amazing shots and a really good story! 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for your kind words! I woudn't exchange viewer satisfaction for a milion views :) I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!
amazing movie!
Thanks!
Brilliant animation! The lighting really elevates every scene. Will you be continuing this story? I want to know who kidnapped Arlen.
Thank you! Yes, the story will continue - I guess the sequel could be titled "Finished Quest" to emphisize closure of the story :)
Awesome !
Thank you! Cheers!
Sooooooo good
Thank you!
Really great!
Thank you!

Do you do commissioned work ?
I haven't have a chance to do any commissione work yet. But who knows what the future brings - if I build up my portfolio enough to attract someone for a paid gig, I would consider moving a bit away from my software developer job :)
@ is there any way I could get in contact with you, to show you some ideas and see if there is a chance of working together on something ?
You can email me at the address in the channel description, but I don't promise anything. My pipeline is full right now, with the main focus on the "Unfinished Quest" sequel and one new project I recently started, so I won't commit to anything while those are ongoing.
It was really well animated. I LOVE your set designs 🔥
Fantastic story-telling overall 🩵🙌🏼
Thank you so much for your kind words! Take care, and Merry Christmas!
@BrickinAwesomeMovies of course! Merry Christmas! 🙌🏼🎄
