    Stop-motion is clearly a labor of love and attention to detail. Much respect to you animators.

    I just want to say that it is such a wonderful thing that there are people like Brotherhood workshops that are willing to share what they know so that others don't have to learn by trial and error. It is truly an inspiring gesture to share all your trade secrets to inspire others.

    Dear Kevin, hey dude! You have so many A-MAZING stopmotions on this channel, and I'd like to thank you on behalf of us for doing such an amazing job. I've just gotten a big Monster Fighter castle LEGO set, and The Hobbit Bag-End. This weekend I'm going to make my own stop motion since yours were so inspiring. Thanks Bro!

  • @Brainslugged
    @Brainslugged 12 лет назад

    Thanks for the swift response. I've made a few simple Lego stop motion videos on youtube just using my video camera as a still camera, but your videos have inspired me to try and take them to the next level and try to make some more zoomed-in movies.

    If you have a canon t2i why are you seen with a Nikon in the first second of the video?

    • @BrotherhoodWorkshop
      @BrotherhoodWorkshop  9 лет назад +2

      Timothy Alder I have upgraded twice since starting BW. I started off with a Nikon D40, but it had really bad flicker. So I upgraded to the T2I, and I used that for several years until it broke from too much usage. I now use a Cannon 60D.
