Country-style buildin’
David Pagano (Paganomation) posted an stop-motion Lego music video about country-style building. This will surely get you out of a building block and inspire you to do some building on top of your building!
LEGO Brickfilms on The Brothers Brick | Page 2
LEGO stop-motion animation has a long history, going all the way back to LEGO’s own collaboration with Steven Spielberg in the 1990s. Whether you’re into music videos or iconic scenes from your favorite video games, you’ll find lots of great LEGO videos here on The Brothers Brick.
Breaking and entering with LEGO
I have an odd interest in the intersection of crime and LEGO, so I’m thrilled by this clip from the 1979 Danish film The Olsen Gang Never Surrenders (Olsen-banden overgiver sig aldrig) featuring a LEGO assisted commercial burglary. Thanks for the tip, Joel!
Printed Circuit video clip made entirely from LEGO
Stop-motion filmmaker and AFOL Chris Salt (0ldScratch) has created an entirely brick-animated video clip for one of the latest tracks by Printed Circuit. This is some of the smoothest brick animation I’ve seen and the use of the M-Tron torsos is brilliant. Suggested by Pete Reid and my apologies to Pete, Chris and our readers Continue reading →
See? Timeless and universal.
There’s something just…happy about this advertisement. Made by Temujin Doran, the posting on Vimeo states it “uses pieces from the stash my brother and I used to play with when we were younger, so perhaps it looks a bit dated compared with modern day Lego. Dated, but still great.” Build Anything from Studiocanoe on Vimeo. Continue reading →
And you thought actors could be moody.
We’ve all heard it, right? Actors declining roles for “creative differences”…right. Creative differences. On the actor’s part? After this fantastic brickfilm from mobiledeli, I’m personally more inclined to say it was the director with the issues. This one certainly has them. You can find more fantastic brickfilms at Bricks in Motion!
Micro StarCraft multiplayer map celebrates release of StarCraft II
This stop-motion video by Alex Kobbs captures so many classic moments from StarCraft that I don’t know which is my favorite. My copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is in the mail, and Alex’s video just heightens the anticipation.
Metamorphosis, a stop motion animation
David Pickett (fallentomato) presents his best brickfilms animation showing Lego bricks morphing into different objects. Each change from one object to another consists of many brick-built transition states that are shown for only a fraction of a second, and the results are well worth it. Check out more descriptions and behind-the-scenes info about the video Continue reading →
Experimenting with live action Lego films
We’ve all seen some pretty good stop-motion animations with Lego, but the method is not without its limitations. Tyler Clites and Jordan Schwartz recently experimented with making short clips of live action Lego films featuring their Oasis Mech and Anubis Statues respectively. You can read more about each creator’s thoughts by following the links below Continue reading →
The Nightly News at Nine – a brickfilm by David Pickett
We don’t feature enough videos from the talented community of brickfilmers, so I was happy to be introduced to a brickfilm project by David Pickett (fallentomato) at Brickworld called The Nightly News at Nine (NNN). NNN captures “the zany adventures of a TV News team who live in a fantastical world made of plastic bricks.” Continue reading →
Robert Green’s fumbling failure immortalized in LEGO
I’ve been catching a few minutes of the World Cup every morning before heading into work, but watched the complete US-England game over the weekend. Naturally, there’s a LEGO version. This video by Fabian Moritz has gone viral at this point, but for those of you whose friends and family haven’t forwarded this to you Continue reading →
The Fastest and Funniest LEGO Star Wars story ever told
dzine123 brings us the full story of the Star Wars Trilogy condensed into ~2 minutes as told by a kid with one heck of a LEGO collection :) EDIT: Regardless of the voice talent, this was actually created by LEGO, not “a kid with one heck of a LEGO collection.”
Power Miners are male chauvinist pigs
In this video by Chris Salt, the Power Miners do not shine in their attitudes towards the women in their midst. However, the animation is smooth, the jerk gets what’s coming to him, and there are singing rock monsters. What more could you ask for?
Prince of Persia trailer recreated from LEGO
The Prince of Persia movie promises to have just about as much cheese as sand. For a certain segment of our readership, it also promises a shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal saying his lines with a British accent. In the meantime, LEGO gives us this version of the trailer using only the new sets — and some Continue reading →
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Unleashed stop-motion animation
Fancy Pants Productions presents a LEGO Star Wars animation that features some seriously smooth action:
All those … moments will be lost in time
There’s a moment in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner that sends chills up and down my spine every time I watch it. Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford stand on a rooftop in the rain as Hauer’s character breathes his last. Zach Macias has recreated that scene in LEGO: Blade Runner – Tears in Rain (in LEGO) Continue reading →
