  • The 2014 film was an animation feat - but it was built on the legacy of homemade fan movies.

    When you watch installments of the Warner Bros. line of Lego movies, it's hard not to be struck by how realistic the animation is. It isn't quite traditional stop motion - but it sure looks as if it could be. That's largely thanks to the work of the animators at Animal Logic, a Sydney-based visual effects studio that has worked on The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie, and the upcoming The Lego Ninjago Movie. Powered by live action filming techniques and a close attention to detail, the studio has helped reinvent what Lego animations can look like. But they owe a lot of that aesthetic to the influence of fan films. Since the early 1970s, enthusiasts have made home movies with their own Lego sets. They're called Brickfilms - and they've grown into a sizable community producing great movies and helping many young animators get their start. The Lego Movie animators learned from what made those home movies so good by embracing the limitations of the medium, and creating a world that anyone could could rebuild at home.
    Check out some of the Brickfilms we showed in this video:

    Honestly one of my favorite parts about the LEGO movie is the fact that it actually looks like a LEGO movie. The mix of the realistic lighting to literally everything being made of LEGO bricks gives me a warm feeling inside just like when I was young and playing with my bin full of legos in the basement.

      Phil Lord/Chris Miller have a talent for taking a premise that seems like another lazy cash grab based on a preexisting IP, but then transforming it into something much better. The 21 and 22 Jumpstreet movies are great movies especially considering that they could have been schlock like some recent dredged up 90's show movies like CHIPS and Baywatch. I haven't seen it but Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which was also written by the pair, is also well regarded.

    • @MiniTruckMatt
      @MiniTruckMatt 7 лет назад +83

      Stop motion would actually most likely be a lot faster than CG. With stop motion all you have to do is movie around pieces at 24 images per second of video. With CGI, you have to CREATE 24 images per second of video. Actual lego pieces already have dings, dents, and various textures to them. With CGI all of the fine detail has to be created. I feel like animation would take much longer than traditional stop-motion.

    I'm born in a year 2000. When RUclips was created in a year 2005, I didn't pay that much attention to it. But I remember when my big brother showed me a Lego stop motion somewhere between years 2006 and 2007 (I do not remember correctly)
    It was one of those typical Lego stop motions which had 009 Sound System music and blue screen with white text in the beginning. The animation was pretty rough and maybe 8 FPS. (To think about that video today, there is NOTHING so nostalgic than that memory)
    Since those years I had always wanted to do Lego stop motions myself.
    Then in a year 2011 I created my channel and I have since then done Lego stop motion animations.
    It's something that I'd never want to quit.

      You're only 2 years older than my son, I remember watching LEGO stop motion videos back then too (I was just older, lol). Normally I don't click on commenters channels, since their comments always sound like shameless self promotion. Yours however, sounds more like you simply take pride in what you do, and after watching several of your videos, you should! You've done a fantastic job of them, keep it up!

      that's touching but you say "I'm born in a year 2000" instead of "I was born in 2000" same with "when RUclips was created in a year 2005" should be "When RUclips was created in the year 2005" then with "Then in a year 2011" should be "then in the year 2011"
      sorry if you think that is mean or whatever but i just had to correct it.

      nope, it was based on a real theme. basically, a 4+ theme meant to be a bridge between Duplo and regular System. big figs you can't take apart and all buildings and vehicles were big junks that plugged together with built-in pegs.
      fun fact: the minifigure of harry potter's hagrid the Half Giant was based on these jack stone figs.

    The brick-like environment really made a huge difference. That is something that also most if not all LEGO video games are missing.

    5:25 this is such a great case-study for how derivative works ought to be treated under copyright/trademark law. A fan makes a derivative work and Lego has the ability to shut it down. Meanwhile, Lego makes a work that's highly derivative of what those very fans make and everything's fine and people even seem to think "wow, it's so cool that they made shoutouts to all the fans in the form of deriving (or even using verbatim) their art!"
    Anyway, it sounds like Lego came around pretty quickly. But not every company does, and maybe the law ought to be structured so that both individuals and companies are always treated equally when it comes to derivatives, by code.

      I concur, however I think that parts of why the companies do things like that is that they sometimes have to. As them not doing anything or even allowing when people do stuff like this or the "Classic World of Warcraft" servers could (to my understanding, as a layperson) very well lose them at least parts of the things that protect their Intellectual property. Meaning that if they don't do anything now that could be used against them when they try to use the IP laws against someone who E.G. does something similar but more commercial (As in: If they don't stop Fleay, Warner Bros could potentially make the Lego movie and use Fleay as a precedence in court).

      my big issue with that is that most companies out there tend to lose money due to these "fan art" and that "fan art" is using their copyrighted characters or trademarked products such as the lego block. and thats why its illegal, they are making money off somebody elses characters which is still intellectual property of the "lego company" i dont think lego should deny these people that put so much time into this art, but instead promote it and make both parties money. as lego has a huge marketing division im sure this wouldnt be an issue, the content creator would have to sign over 50% of the royalties though. making it a collaboration product as appose to just being a lego product.
      they have to do this every time they make a movie anyways, just with the film company. but this could make them be able to release more content, in a shorter amount of time, and possibly give more people the chance to get heard out there.
      sure you can make a youtube channel.... but not EVERYBODY watches youtube.

    This is so cool! I used to be ultra into stop motion animation, but I kinda fizzled out of it a few years back. But seeing this- it sort of rekindled something. I really feel like trying my hand and it again. Who knows, maybe I'll fall in love all over again.
