Wow.. that is truly amazing, Philip! So detailed, really incredible... I will download it and watch it on my big screen in my living room! Great job man. This made my day! I'll forward it to all the musicians involved. Hippie-dude is happy :-)
Well, I'm sure it will really look more amazing on a big screen. I'm glad you like it, this video is a personal milestone in many ways. Thank you for making this possible, I feel honored :D
Send it to the singers too; I'm sure they'll love it as much as you will, Arjen. P:S: I love this whole album in general. So much so that I keep envisioning it as a science fiction movie musical. (I'm working towards being a full time filmmaker) 🙂🙂
I laughed out loud at the Russell Allen reveal--perfect 'casting' job! Amazing work, both in terms of assembling and editing the whole thing, but also with the narrative. I've not read the lyrics to The Source yet, but this helps put everything into perspective. Thanks for the great video.
RippinReg. OMG, I I'm laughing my ass off. that is absolutely brilliant. Your caricatures of all the musicians is so funny. I can't imagine the time You Must Have Spent to make this. I'm sure I speak for all the fans that we all enjoy this tremendously.
Ahahah the Lego characterizations! Extra score for Tobias' smirk and outrageous captain outfit... and Hansi with the astronomy uniform XD Imagine upgrading this with some bricking maniacs who build epic models of Alpha, Starblade, and Y, and then you'd do camera pans and moves through it! You should contact some Bricking Bavaria people! It would be the music video of the year, man! >:D
This is an absolute banger of a video! Love that you also included the violin, flute and cello players.😊 If only I had the parts to make myself such a President...😂
This is amazing, best way to start the day... the way they play the instrument is fantastic, so coordinated like the original... thank you so much for doing this
I cracked up when Hansi Kürsch just slid onto the screen like "YES" holy shit I'm in giggles This is my new favourite thing on all of yourube now. Amazing job
Wow is very awesome! Ein sehr guter aufwendiger Brickfilm und sehr gut Umgesetzt. Ich habe mich richtig wie in einen richtiges großes Musikfilm gefühlt. Die Musik hat mich einfach hineingezogen! Einer der Längsten u d Größsten Meisterwerke von Reg Jackson! Thumbs up! 😊😃😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️🎞🎹🎸
This is amazing. The amount of time and effort that had to have gone into not only animating but building some of these setpieces is crazy. Tobias' minifigure was also completely on point for his character.
So much fun! Thanks, dude, I laughed a lot! Especially at that big smile of Arjen at the end of his solo. :D I can´t imagine how much time went into this, so congrats on your patience. Also, I work in a theater, and let me say that this felt like a performance, so well done. ;)
Wow this is superb. This is the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips. You've got talent. Doing the whole album would be a lot of work but I'd love to see Everybody Dies next.
Would be awsome if they would actuelly make that but i doubt that.... I guess for now I have to be satisfied with having Lego-Tobi as the singer of my Band in Lego Rockband^^
I laughed so hard when the captain turned around and we got the see him xDDD It was so cliché, and the captain looked exactly how I imagine the eccentric Tobias would look like as a Sci-Fi captain. That scene was peeeeerfect for Tobias. The whole video made me smile all the way through wp man!
What an amazing(ly hilarious) video! :D I love how you captured the dramatic feel of the premise but still managed to work plenty of humor into it - and the little references to the original video are brilliant, particularly Arjen's - or well, Hippie Dude's solo. Great job, I loved every second of it!
Thank you very much. Good to hear that i got the balance between the serious topic and the "Lego-humor" :D I'm a big fan of references, so I had no other choice ;D
RippinRegJackson You are very welcome! :D That balance was definitely there, well done! And references are awesome if you ask me, so feel free to keep that up, shouldn't even wánt to make any other choice! :)
Thank you very much :D Yes, he knows about it, I asked for his permission before. He even got it whitelisted by the lable so it won't get deleted and shared it officially. :D
RippinRegJackson if the guy has any good taste in your videos he should let you do videos for the entire album and convince his label to back you up financially.
Well, Arjen and I came to the conclusion that doing the whole album would take too much time. Time I don't have besides my work for my university degree. But maybe nevertheless there will be another Ayreon video one day. ;-)
@@salamanderavem3782 well, I was doing stop motion animation for eight years and I think I will make it at least for another eight years. But only as a hobby. ;D
RippinRegJackson im excited. I hope your hobby does well. I use to do stop motion but slowly moving to other stuff. Its very challenging. I hope things goes great with that for you 😋
@@salamanderavem3782 yeah, it's challenging, indeed, but also very fulfilling. I love to do it, to show a song or tell my stories that way and I met a lot of new friends over time. So yes, tings go great! :D
I'm sorry, I had not much time, exams and other stuff to do. But there's a new music video in progress (not with Ayreon, but another awesome band). It will be there this weekend I think. And some day in the future, there will be another Ayreon video as well, if I get the permission to do another ;-)
Thx :D I think he'll let me, he liked this one, so I think he would accept another. But first, I wanna do more videos with own storys, I didn't do that for a long time. It will be in german, but I will make english subtitles. :)
Me: watches Ayreon videos daily for the last year. Also me: casts lego videos for my kids RUclips: only recommends this video today. I believe in nothing.
RippinRegJackson you know what that’s an excellent point. If I had the budget or time for it I think making a lego movie for one of these albums would be the absolute most fun thing I could do. Legos and filmmaking are two of my favorite hobbies and I never get to do either of them
Yeah, it would be a pretty awesome project! If I had the budget and the time, I would propably do a plenty more of Lego videos... something to dream about :D
Wow.. that is truly amazing, Philip! So detailed, really incredible... I will download it and watch it on my big screen in my living room! Great job man. This made my day! I'll forward it to all the musicians involved. Hippie-dude is happy :-)
Well, I'm sure it will really look more amazing on a big screen. I'm glad you like it, this video is a personal milestone in many ways. Thank you for making this possible, I feel honored :D
This is amazing. The action parts at the beginning got me started and then that zero-one part! Very nice!
I think you should consider RippinRegJackson as the creator of a clip for your next album :)
Well, did they say anything yet? Who's the most impressed after you?
Send it to the singers too; I'm sure they'll love it as much as you will, Arjen.
P:S: I love this whole album in general. So much so that I keep envisioning it as a science fiction movie musical. (I'm working towards being a full time filmmaker) 🙂🙂
I love how TH-1 looks like an ultramodern gas stove.
OMG OMG OMG. That is WONDERFUL!
Thank you!
World: *ends* Arjen: *gleefully plays dramatic music on keys*
I'm going to have to dislike this solely because you didn't name this video "The day the world bricks down"
:-D
But seriously?
Nailed It.
Also, gonna go copy Arjen himself and Chromecast this to a big screen!
You're right, that would have been a nice title, too xD
I laughed out loud at the Russell Allen reveal--perfect 'casting' job! Amazing work, both in terms of assembling and editing the whole thing, but also with the narrative. I've not read the lyrics to The Source yet, but this helps put everything into perspective. Thanks for the great video.
Amazing. I know it's unlikely, but I'd love to see the whole album like this!
We'll see what I can do ;-)
RippinRegJackson good luck, buddy! This is dynamite! There''d should better be more than this. This is rocking!
lego the source movie would be nice
RippinReg. OMG, I I'm laughing my ass off. that is absolutely brilliant. Your caricatures of all the musicians is so funny. I can't imagine the time You Must Have Spent to make this. I'm sure I speak for all the fans that we all enjoy this tremendously.

It would be a very huge project, but it would be epic indeed. Maybe, one day in the future... ;-)
This is so amazing
HUAAHU WOOOW.. The violin is a crossbow!!!! ahuhauah really creative... great job and song!
Thank you! ^^
Not every instrument has it's Lego version yet, so you have to be creative. Took the idea from another Lego music video :D
Absolutely brilliant on so many levels, pure genius.
That is jus amazing! A true artwork. Any chance you keep doing all the songs from The Source? :D
I already thought about that. We'll see :D
Great! Just subscribed to get the notifications if you do :)
Plot twist: The March of the Machines will be the most difficult brickfilm.
Absolutely amazing job!!! I enjoyed watching every single second of it.
Tobias was awesome but then Sir Russell Allen showed up and stole the spotlight! Great job and keep 'em coming!
This is an absolute banger of a video! Love that you also included the violin, flute and cello players.😊 If only I had the parts to make myself such a President...😂
Thank you very much! :D
Yeah, I was pretty lucky to have the presidential parts, some of them are a bit older. xD
I lost it @ 11:37
That part was one of the funniest while shooting the pictures and cutting this thing :D
Lmao same here
You amazed me, Sir. Thank you so much for this. 💚
I love the violin!
This is amazing, best way to start the day... the way they play the instrument is fantastic, so coordinated like the original... thank you so much for doing this
I cracked up when Hansi Kürsch just slid onto the screen like "YES" holy shit I'm in giggles
This is my new favourite thing on all of yourube now. Amazing job
YES, I had fun while creating this scene, too :D
Who you calling a rube!?
Incredible!
Arjen was out jogging
WONDERFULL!!!
That's definitely the best fan video I've ever seen !!!!
Thank you! :D
Wow is very awesome! Ein sehr guter aufwendiger Brickfilm und sehr gut Umgesetzt. Ich habe mich richtig wie in einen richtiges großes Musikfilm gefühlt. Die Musik hat mich einfach hineingezogen! Einer der Längsten u d Größsten Meisterwerke von Reg Jackson! Thumbs up! 😊😃😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️🎞🎹🎸
Vielen Dank, freut mich sehr dass es dir gefallen hat. :D
Ich betrachte dieses Video auch als persönlichen Meilenstein, in vielerlei Hinsicht. :)
genial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Amazing job!
This is awesome. I don't know why, but the Hansi lego guy made me laugh because of its grin.
A very catching smile :D
This is amazing. The amount of time and effort that had to have gone into not only animating but building some of these setpieces is crazy. Tobias' minifigure was also completely on point for his character.
Thank you! It was a lot of work building and animating this, but it was also great fun! :D
I found this awesome video with speed of light but better late than never:)
It won't run away ;)
Wow! Again wow! Plus all the funny details like the subtitles and Arjen‘s smile at the end of the solo. Awesome job!!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! :D
Wow great
And poor C-3PO
President had a secret resentment towards machines…
Absolutely love this Lego mini-movie! Amazing and extremely detailed work! Well done!
Genial trabajo, ¡muchos éxitos!
Ist ja nicht so, dass ich bei Ayreon sowieso schon am Fangirlen bin, aber...Tobias Sammet wurde einfach perfekt getroffen
Du hast Tobias getroffen? Wow!
Wow wow wow!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! ^.^
Genial!
Masterpiece!
Wow, this is awesome job!
Tobias was my favorite part, I have been watching a lot of live Avantasia videos and you captured him so well
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I've seen Avantasia live as well so I had a clear picture :D
The day that the world "Brick" down
I mourn for this missed opportunity
That's AWESOME! :D I'll wait for the other songs!
So much fun! Thanks, dude, I laughed a lot! Especially at that big smile of Arjen at the end of his solo. :D I can´t imagine how much time went into this, so congrats on your patience. Also, I work in a theater, and let me say that this felt like a performance, so well done. ;)
Thank you! I'm glad you like the video so much. I spent a lot of time on this, indeed, but I had also a lot of fun with it. :D
This is awesome! I had so much fun watching it! Thank you!
Freaking amazing job!
Wow!! This is fantastic! Great job!!
That się soooooo sick!!!!! Lego masterpiece to a masterpiece song 😎👌👏👏👏👏 well done!!!
Thank you! :D
Crossbow violin, EPIC! Great job, I enjoyed it so much. Keep up the good work :D
Thats the advantage of Lego. If there is not the right brick, you just build it or take something similiar :D
Great job. Looking forward to Sea of Machines and the rest :)
We'll see what I can do. I don't want to promise too much ;)
This is totally awesome! Well done!
Wow this is superb. This is the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips. You've got talent. Doing the whole album would be a lot of work but I'd love to see Everybody Dies next.
Better late than never:
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Thank you! :D
Damn, I love your Lego version of Tobi as the Captain! I want him as a keychain^^
You may suggest it to the Lego company ;-)
Would be awsome if they would actuelly make that but i doubt that....
I guess for now I have to be satisfied with having Lego-Tobi as the singer of my Band in Lego Rockband^^
This is incredible, well done!
I LOVE IT! this is amazing! so cool! I love it so much thank you for putting the time and effort in making this!
Voll das Lego Opus. Ich empfehle euch dringend die Untertitel anzuschalten, ist mit Text sogar noch besser.
Amazing job, sir!
Thank you, sir! :D
I laughed so hard when the captain turned around and we got the see him xDDD
It was so cliché, and the captain looked exactly how I imagine the eccentric Tobias would look like as a Sci-Fi captain. That scene was peeeeerfect for Tobias. The whole video made me smile all the way through wp man!
Thanks :D
Well, the captain was really easy to build, I had that picture in mind from the beginning xD
This was fantastic. Keep up the good work /,,/
OMG! this is amazing! so fun to watch!! thank you :)
WOW !!! Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!! :)
HAHA russel allen. amazing job man, waw!
WOW!!!
BRILLIANT!!! :D
For those who wanted a movie of Ayreon saga. Now we just need to contact Lego and send this preview o/
Very entertaining! I love how you did the binary section too! :-)
To cut that drove me close to insanity :D
I bet!!
What an amazing(ly hilarious) video! :D I love how you captured the dramatic feel of the premise but still managed to work plenty of humor into it - and the little references to the original video are brilliant, particularly Arjen's - or well, Hippie Dude's solo.

Well, I will not promise too much, but I think there will be more Ayreon Videos in the future :D
RippinRegJackson Then I'll casually be on the lookout for those! :D Would be awesome. And, as it happens to be 31 December, a very happy 2018 to you!
Thank you very much, I wish you a happy 2018 as well :D
Wow! Hut ab!
Danke :D
Somebody have to show this to arjen
He already saw it, he even shared it on the official Ayreon Facebook page :D
This is bloody perfect, I squealed and giggled my way through this… thank you for this masterpiece! :,) Does Arjen know it exists?
Thank you very much :D
Yes, he knows about it, I asked for his permission before. He even got it whitelisted by the lable so it won't get deleted and shared it officially. :D
Ah, that’s amazing! I’ll forever treasure it as the perfect video for a perfect song now.
RippinRegJackson if the guy has any good taste in your videos he should let you do videos for the entire album and convince his label to back you up financially.
Well, Arjen and I came to the conclusion that doing the whole album would take too much time. Time I don't have besides my work for my university degree. But maybe nevertheless there will be another Ayreon video one day. ;-)
sehr nice. Das Video ist richtig gut geworden :)
Wow, this is amazing! I really think you shloud share the video with Arjen,I'm sure he will love it and who knows if he won't even share it.
Arjen already shared it on FB - that is how I got here :-)
He shared it indeed. I also asked for his permission before starting the work, so he knew about it from the beginning.
Oh thats awesome. congratz
Thanks :D
Im a fan of animation especially stop motion
I say you got real good talent
Thank you! :D
RippinRegJackson are you interested in doing animation in the future?
@@salamanderavem3782 well, I was doing stop motion animation for eight years and I think I will make it at least for another eight years. But only as a hobby. ;D
RippinRegJackson im excited. I hope your hobby does well. I use to do stop motion but slowly moving to other stuff. Its very challenging. I hope things goes great with that for you 😋
@@salamanderavem3782 yeah, it's challenging, indeed, but also very fulfilling. I love to do it, to show a song or tell my stories that way and I met a lot of new friends over time. So yes, tings go great! :D
Fucking Brilliant. You made my day
wow
I swear I left a comment on here encouraging you to make more of these! What the hell happened?
I'm sorry, I had not much time, exams and other stuff to do. But there's a new music video in progress (not with Ayreon, but another awesome band). It will be there this weekend I think.
And some day in the future, there will be another Ayreon video as well, if I get the permission to do another ;-)
Hopefully he'll let you. Guess I'll subscribe so I won't miss those.
Thx :D
I think he'll let me, he liked this one, so I think he would accept another. But first, I wanna do more videos with own storys, I didn't do that for a long time. It will be in german, but I will make english subtitles. :)
The President wearing sunglasses indoors...
Maybe he's a lost Blues Brother B-)
hope your video doesn't get blocked by WMG like so many ayreon related vids have recently, it's very good!
Arjen told me WMG whitelisted it
good to hear. some really innovative fan stuff has been lost recently and its good to see not all of it is going away
That's sad, they maybe should hire someone checking all the uploads before deleting it. But I think that's a bit utopic.
it's WMG, they are known for being dicks to RUclipsrs so it won't happen any time soon lol
Well, hope dies at last ;)
Me: watches Ayreon videos daily for the last year.
Also me: casts lego videos for my kids
RUclips: only recommends this video today.
I believe in nothing.
Well, hello there ;D
Heftig, ich hab mal wieder keine Ahnung, aber ist geil. xD
Vielen Dank :D
Hast du es mit Untertiteln gesehen? Das hilft die Geschichte dahinter zu verstehen ;)
THE CROSSBOW XD
Ditto on do this for the whole album 😂
Well, the whole album would take too much time I don't have. But I think I would do another song some day :)
Human equation LEGO movie would kick ass
Well, I think nearly everything of Ayreon would be awesome for a Lego movie... makes the decision even harder :,D
RippinRegJackson you know what that’s an excellent point. If I had the budget or time for it I think making a lego movie for one of these albums would be the absolute most fun thing I could do. Legos and filmmaking are two of my favorite hobbies and I never get to do either of them
Yeah, it would be a pretty awesome project! If I had the budget and the time, I would propably do a plenty more of Lego videos... something to dream about :D
HHAHAHAHA I love it!!!
Brilliant! However android might look more human-alike :)
Thats right, but i built the figures before the album was released and I liked TH-1 that way. Maybe it's a hint to his connection with the 'Frame? ;-)
Shouldn't this be called, "The Day The World BRICKS Down" ????
Maybe I change the title if enough people demand it xD
I am the 600th liker ! :D
:O
