How to Prepare for a Lego Stop Motion: Behind the Scenes

  • In this behind the scenes video you will learn the basic four starting points to help prepare you to create your very own Lego stop motions. These points have nothing to do with animation itself, but rather the bases of how to help develop your story and/or equipment for easier use when animating. These topics are also in no particular order of importance.
    Hopefully you learn something from this video, but if you don’t, at least you can enjoy my poorly edited humor.

    Dude thank you for this! You are a big inspiration for me and I love your work!
    When I saw this, I almost gasped out in happiness lol. I hope you hit 500 subs soon, you deserve it!
    Also that’s crazy how you did your helms deep video on an iPhone! I animate on my iPhone rn so now my goal is to make something look as good as that!
    EDIT: I’m excited for more BTS and tutorials

    • @jdiddy_productions

      BossKingLegoProductions, thank you so much! I was a little nervous that this type of video might shock people into not being interested, so it’s really nice to know that there are people out there that get excited for it :)
      And, yes I did animate my Helm’s Deep video without my Sony a5000 camera which made it a little challenging to get certain shots, but it’s really all about how you set up and position your camera not so much what type of camera you have.
      I’m really happy you enjoyed it!

I hope you’re able to easily learn how the camera operates and all of its settings.

      Ok so I was actually going to put a little segment in this video where I talked about how I couldn’t find it either. For whatever reason it’s not on the App Store anymore. But, the Stop Motion app (free version) is a great substitute. I actually used that for my recent The Child video to test out the app’s capabilities, and it works quite nicely.

    I use stop motion studios and not a Sony camera.
