Great work, David! This is a great peek into the LEGO fan community.
I hope LEGO sees this and promotes it somehow.
that would be great
LEGO: Welcome Adults to LEGO
It was an honor to be apart of such a well-put together documentary, David! Great work my dude.
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch this. What a lovely video you have created. It was so nice seeing familiar faces expressing their love for this hobby. I appreciate you for letting me be a part of it.
It is nice seeing the lego community openly talking about addiction, LOL.
Man i really wish David makes another brickfilm its been so many years.
Awesome! It's really well done. As an afol and moc builder, I felt so close to this.
Man great job David! You definitely need to be making more movies like this one. I feel like the whole "what is a moc" topic could be it's own movie.
Rebel Builder is this considered a movie?
In my book, this documentary succeeds where the others failed because it includes younger AFOLs like Matt and Jhae. The other AFOL documentaries I've seen tend to ignore people from their age category and it gives you this impression that Lego as an adult hobby is somehow only for people rediscovering it once they're in their 30's and 40's. The reality is that it's become a thing you can carry with you throughout your entire life, and this demonstrates that for once! Nicely done David!
Brick Tale Studios Thank you so much! This means a ton!
You did such an amazing job on this, David! Really interesting and definitely enjoyable to watch, great work man! 👏👏👏
Do I spy a wild boyo on the thumbnail?
So proud of you David, you’ve accomplished so much and it really shows.
dillon dix Thanks bro ❤️
Congratulations David on the exciting release of this documentary!
Great work David. I think I speak for the whole LEGO community when I say I am very proud and thankful. This documentary let people in on the LEGO community as it really is, and what it is is something to cherish. I've never seen anything quite like the LEGO community, and I don't think I ever will. It's one of a kind. I would also like to personally congratulate you on your recent graduation and of course this great documentary. It's the first major addition to your portfolio as a graduate, and I can't wait to see what you have planned next. Being a film nut myself, I have an enormous amount of respect for you and your work. Keep doing what you love, and we will be watching your career with great interest!
This is fantastic. There is some really great storytelling in here. I heard people say they wish you, David, were in it more, but I think the fact that you can tell the story heavily without your own commentary shows a talent for bringing a story and documentary together purely through content. Great work and great for the community
Great video, it encouraged me to realize that being an AFOL isn’t a bad thing, love your content man keep it up.
This is epic. Great job dude, you should be proud.
I am really happy that this video has been made to explain to few people who find Adults who display their creativity by Using Lego is *not* bad
I wish it wasn't a premiere, it's obviously finished.
What a great and wonderful little film you produced there! I turned 18 two months ago, so I guess I can call myself an AFOL as well :'D Proud of you, I follow your channel since Kashyyyk now and not once did I not enjoy what you've done! Love from Germany ^-^
I forgot about this but when I saw the notification I got excited
Such an amazing documentary David this deserves to be noticed and promoted by Lego!
Very well made David! I like the transition in the scenes:)
Fantastic film! Was great to see my friends and others from the community I know talk about their perspectives on the hobby.
1:13 UCS MOC Falcon from Solo :O Love it!
Can’t wait for this documentary
Great way of showing the AFOL community
This is an amazing documentary!!!
Awesome Work David!! loved everyones interview and different view point in this hobby.
Gosh, this is just really, super, duper cool. I hope someone from LEGO sees this. I think it really shows that LEGO, as a whole, is meant for everyone. Gosh, this is still just really cool. Thank you for making this, David!
That was very well made. It was a interesting look into the Lego community. Great job.
MOC = My own creation
OOC = Our own creation?
The big question is where did Kat Harris get that Lego Bat t-shirt. I think I need one now. (Or possibly an adventurers baby t-rex.)
My only criticism is I wish it was longer...Great job David...❤️
This was a very well made documentary, though I would have liked to see you expand upon the meaning of AFOL, because not all of them are MOC builders (stop motion animators, collectors, etc). Aside from that, I really enjoyed watching this.
This is it!! Great Job David! This is your template man. I love it and keep them coming!
The real afol here buyes LEGO instead of shoes
Great content. Only compliant is I want more.
I watched every minute of this and loved it. I’m new to ‘the community’ this year through my YT channel and have found it a lot of fun so far. The guys interviewed have all been a real inspiration to me as a fellow afol - particularly Richboy Jhae and Brick Wiz. Those acronyms... lol
This is awesome. And yet so many people think legos are for little kids. They don't realize legos are for all ages
Very inspiring. Well done David👏
Thumbs UP for Your documentary !!
0:56 . is that 4Kooberz Studio?
Great documentary btw
Awesome video :)
This feels like a special look at an upcoming series of AFOL stories than an actual documentary. We're only hitting bullet points and covering the stuff that LEGO fans already know, which means it's ringing on deaf ears. I feel like we should be spending more time with these people and really get to know their stories more to understand why they are fans and why they continue to be fans. What brought them in? What makes their LUG special? Why do they go to the convention? Why do they not go? Do they go hardcore into building original stuff they think up, or do they try to replicate things from the real world or from books, movies, and shows? What about the constraction fans? What about the diehard purists? What about the people that make whatever they want with whatever they want and cut pieces, paint parts, use third party stuff, etc.? There's a whole wide range of topics that are being missed and no documentary can ever capture it all, but if this were a documentary series where you focus on one or two people that share similar viewpoints per installment it can become a clearer picture of what the AFOL community is and what it is about.
MCLegoboy I appreciate this kind of feedback. And I definitely agree with a lot of the points you make. I had visited and interviewed 23 people with only 10 making the final cut. But there were tens of hours of footage that ultimately got cut. When filming I thought I could cover all the little things in the community all in one film, truth is you can’t without loosing people. I like your idea of a series, that’s where it could work a lot better for covering all the details. Maybe one day my man ;)
I wanna do an animated video of this topic
great video
Nice documentary !!!! I see my self in the middle of this beautyful persons. Thank you for this film. ♡;p
I love this. I am not an adult but watching this I can look forward to becoming an AFOL in the future.
Amazing work David, looks like all the hard work payed off! I’m so excited to share this with everyone I know thank you David for making this amazing documentary!
David, this was fantastic!! You are an amazing filmmaker!! I hope to see more projects like this from you in the future
im proud to be part of this community ngl
Hope this goes viral, great jon.
I wish I lived in a community where Lego is more prevalent. Not a lot of people where I live are interested and just see it as an expensive child's toy. 😞
Very interesting documentary david, i liked the idea of this film although i just think it was lacking in some senses. Firstly, i think the film was rather poorly constructed, the transitions were rather drastic and i think if you were to have made the guests answer the same or atleast similar questions through each transition, it would have been much more cohesive. And/or like most documentaries, i would've liked to have the interviews for each individual guest all in one piece, seperate from each other and not scattered through out. And lastly, the interviews themselves were pretty lacking. Not only were the guests saying pretty much the same thing for a large chunk of the film about the "nerdy" connotation that being an afol has, but also the interviews themselves didnt really reveal anything new that i did not already know or had assumed about them. Over all the quality of the documentary was on spot, but it really could have been more cohesive and definetly much longer.
Wow this camera work is amazing, it feels like I’m watching a professional, ooooohhhhh wait ... I am
Wow, this is mind blowing amazing!
This is truly amazing!!!! Really hope that Lego sees this and promotes this soon!!!!
awesome documentary dude
Great work David! 😀💪 - when the subtitles comes, I just go.. NOOOO is it already over 😁 I was just stock at the models and talks about the Lego fan community, so the times flies. Therefore I think it could be a longer movie, but better that is a shorter and good movie rather than a too long film, that nobody want to see. 😄👍 thumbs up!!
This was brilliant David if anyone ever asks me why I like lego so much I'll advise them to watch this
If you have that much money for legos, you have enough to finish your basement.
Hello AFOL world, I am a Lego “nerd” from Bay area :D
We needed more of seeing the AFOLs' collection's. In this video, people just see some adults around LEGO. They dont see the huuuge collections.
The video is about AFOLs - not LEGO collections. Not all AFOLs are defined by having huge collections.
This is amazing. Great work David!
LEGO - field, where you can open your opportunities, limit is only quantity of details......
Dude this needs more Music! Might be a bit cheesy then but I think it could really improve the film. If you read this David: I'd be willing to compose some things
What an amazing video showing to everyone what lego means for us. For me living in poor life every stud or every piece counts. Lego makes life easier and takes all the problems away. Makes me believe that life can be better. Thanks for this video
I think this is awesome, i’m still a teenager but i’ve been watching your channel for many years and as a lego enthusiast i often find myself having to hide my sets when guests are over or else risk being embarrassed about them.
And that shouldn’t be the case, LEGO is a fantastic way to formulate creativity and ingenuity.
My dream is to one day see or even create a Bladerunner moc, because i’m fascinated by that universe and those films.
great job, this just goes to show no matter your age Lego brings people together. My dad had Lego I have Lego and my 3 kids love Lego. Its not just a toy to us its part of our family. thanks for the video!
Well this is epic
Fantastic video!
Great video and interviews!
Omg this video is awesome I'm still kinda new to the hobby it's amazing so far so many great people and builders I hope some day I can be apart of this and find my place as well as I hope I can eventually build some of these things goals I guess i like how in the Lego community every one has so many different talents and skills personality
I can discribe this video on one worth.
WOW
Awesome!!!
'The Lego System'
Nicely done!
This is so cool
This is such a thoughtful compilation of ideas and values. Very well done. I think anyone watching could relate to one of the people interviewed. It highlighted the diversity in the physical sense but also the diversity of thought too. As someone who is an advocate of Lego for females, having a young daughter who is interested I commend you in this balance. Well done.
Nice documentary
I really feel this documentary! I get bullied for liking LEGO, so seeing all of these amazing people in the LEGO Community really put a smile on my face. Thank you for this amazing video David!
It was nice meeting you at BF NC! Your documentary turned out wonderful! Great Job!
Great job
David this turned out amazing. I have been a afol for a year now and I enjoy every minute of it!
This is great 👍
great work on this man!
Hey David! I loved this documentary! It was very inspiring especially as a Lego AFOL in college. I really enjoyed this! Thank you for the work you put into it!
Outstanding job! , it deserves sooo many views
Wow, great video! I hope this does really well. I would've though it'd be a little longer though
Love it 🚀👌🏼
Can you upload all interviews please ??
nice job
This was awesome! Really well produced, like it actually seems like a documentary with a budget 100 times yours, but it still looks great
Good stuff! Very well put together! I know you've gotten a TON of material on your journey, will there be other installments?
Nougat lives matter. :D
I completely agree with you!
Honestly this video is incredibly done man!!!! I have thought more about the meaning of building Lego MOCs after watching this!!! I think this will be my motivation for sharing my own creations!!!! Since I live in Asia but I think the people from all around the world would be interested in Lego!!! As I played Lego since I was young, I have known Lego is not just a kind of toys but is a kind of treasures. Lego has its influence on people!
Mix the Brix
This was really wonderfully made! Nice work!
congrats man, great job!
Awesome doco, only just got into the lego hobby not too long ago, didn’t have lego as a kid so as u say I’m a AFOL and luv’in it 😁👍🏼🇦🇺 makes me feel at ease building lego after watching this documentary glad I found it
Great work David. We’ve watched your videos for years and you actually sent a very nice comment to my son via his YT Channel ( Lego Views ). You’re an inspiration to many young and old Lego enthusiasts and I hope that this documentary goes further afield. I’m sure you’ll continue to inspire fellow Lego enthusiasts through your skills, personality and passion.
