Lego WW1 Battle for Fort Vaux Stop Motion Brickfilm

Lego WW1 Battle for Fort Vaux Stop Motion Brickfilm
Fort Vaux was the second fort to fall in the Battle of Verdun after Fort Douaumont which was captured by a small German raiding party in February 1916. Fort Vaux had been modernized before 1914 with reinforced concrete top protection like Fort Douaumont and was not destroyed by a German heavy artillery fire, which had included shelling by 16-inch howitzers. The superstructure of the fort was badly damaged but the garrison, the deep interior corridors and stations remained intact, when the fort was attacked by German troops on June 2.
The defense of Fort Vaux was marked by the heroism and endurance of the garrison, including Major Sylvain-Eugene Raynal. Under his command, the besieged French garrison repulsed German assaults, including fighting underground from barricades inside the corridors, during the first big engagement inside a fort during World War I.

I love the french and german voices, it brings more real details and The fort is so nice , good work guy !!

[@KingwoodStudios]

Thanks. The voices are excerpts from Battlefield 1, Verdun and Mount and Blade games.

[@trycoldman2358]

Oh the narration! I remember watching the documentary when I was small. The fort looks so well done and the gore top notch as usual.

[@KingwoodStudios]

Hey thanks!

[@BrickmanJ]

Yes this is really cool!

[@KingwoodStudios]

Thanks

[@McDuckee69]

One thing the narration isn’t made by him it’s by EA there’s a game that has the same thing.

[@KingwoodStudios]

Its from Battlefield 1

[@archicisco7751]

Nice job bro, the isolation room did you get inspiration from the zombie thing in bf1?

[@KingwoodStudios]

YES. Thanks.

[@Freddie_0423]

Blitz you do realise that the initial narration, the gun sounds, some of the battle cries and the isolement room is ALL BF1 right?

My Favorite part was the first guy who got melted by the Wex lol.

[@gary6884]

I hear Verdun, Battlefield 1, and a documentary I forgot about. Amazing video! :D

[@ElectricBrix03]

great animation! just a few nit-pics though, the french didnt have the mas-36 well, until 1936. Also they didnt use those pouches back then, but that doesnt matter too much.

[@KingwoodStudios]

Thanks. The French machine gun is a standard M1915 Chauchat.

[@ElectricBrix03]

yes i know, but the rifles were mas-36 rifles, which were used in ww2.

[@jerrell1169]

WaffenBricks yeah but brickarms didnt carry WW1 French rifles for a while

arisakas are good to use, also they've had a lebel prototype for over a year now.

Great atmosphere of war, with a surprising ending. Of course excellent decorations and special effects. Good job .. At your orders.

[@Wilhelm-Von-Hohenzollern]

Very impressive, I did not expect such a high quality video upon clicking this video, and to say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement, very good job my friend.

[@godzillagaming4842]

I love the end when the guy burps and the German guys like kill it with FIRE!!!!!

[@freestateproductions1790]

Very well done the effort you put in to these, like how you did big Bertha bomb in the fort, like how you put the zombie Easter egg from battlefield one in there please keep doing these World War I Stop Motion.

[@toprus7412]

Battlefield 1 Master This is not just a Battlefield 1 easter egg. That easter egg was based on a true story when one of the French soldiers got crazy and then got thrown in that kinda room.

[@freestateproductions1790]

I didn’t know that thanks for telling me man

[@evansphil]

I Like feel of it it has a 90s commercial vibe

[@colbeausabre8842]

Fort Vaux held out for seven days - the last three without water, inflicting 2700 German casualties while losing 100 men,. When the garrison surrendered, for the last time in history, they were accorded the honors of war, with the German commanding officer calling his troops to attention and present arms (the rifle salute). as they marched out. Garrison commander Major Reynaud (a reservist) had lost his sword in the battle, so the commander of the attacking 7th German Army, was presented him with a new one by the army commander, Wilhelm the Crown Prince of Germany. The defense of the fort inspired the Maginot Line, the West Wall (Siegfried Line) and Stalin Line as well as defenses such as Sevastopol.

[@KingwoodStudios]

I hear ya

[@colbeausabre8842]

Not Reynaud, Reynal

[@aamacan]

Most of the French fortresses were shelled constantly and the sound of whistling shells would strike fear into the French soldiers. It was a terrible and horrifying moment that a soldier could ever live through.

[@generalsquirrel9548]

It looks really authentic

[@GLADIATORBRICKSPRODUCTIONS]

Brick warriors helmets???? Awesomeness

[@giarenella]

Nice work!!!! I love those fort de vaux made entire of legos!!! And i love the references from bf1 like the isolement room,gun sounds etc.etc.!!!

[@almodovar4897]

Great job :) pretty gruesome but great job

[@ww2soldier87]

Awesome! You films are always so great! Got any animating techniques/tips?

[@KingwoodStudios]

Thanks. I film at 15 frames per second and I use photoshop to draw in a lot of special effects right into the pictures.
I also purposely shake the camera when I film the first 2-3 pictures of an explosion. If you look back at my very first few stop motions--they weren't that great, so practice and experience help a lot over time.

[@ww2soldier87]

KingwoodStudios Thanks. And if you have any film recommendations for me, I'm open to Ideas.

[@collaborisgaming2190]

4:31 lol WW1 Zombies mode, i wish there was a game like that that didn't screw it up like Call of Duty did with setting it in an Iron Harvest Style Alternate Reality

Ww1 was really brutal

[@Gray-Wolf]

Amazing detail though

[@backyardbladesmith7612]

Dam good job man very impressive 👏👏👏

[@phoenixstopmotions]

Amazing well done

[@aamacan]

3:07 Flamethrowers were horrifying to those that it where used against but only the German forces would of used this devastating weapon. Well even if they used this weapon the flames it self didn't kill the enemy most of the time but that the enemy would flee the fortress or trench and would get shot down by normal weapons such as rifles, machine guns and maybe shotguns.

[@KingwoodStudios]

Agreed

[@unclebouncysplayhouse6444]

KingwoodStudios really thanks your videos are awesome

[@coolfactsaboutsharks]

I recommend shooting at 30 frames per-second and when the minifigures run have them skip two-three studs other wise good video

[@theslavguystudios4811]

Man. That animation is great. It has that gritty and dark tone. But sadly people burning animation is actually bad. But no worries, I don't blame you. You'd just better try use regular fire pieces next time instead of melting animation (and use some dark music next time). And fort itself is great as well!

Never knew that shell shocked soilders turned into zombies. XD lol
