Not only is this nostalgic, but these are really helpful tips

[@Jambax]

I so, so badly wanted instructions for those Jonny Thunder setups. Blew my mind at the time.

[@Kingkool-uo1ew]

thank you youtube for recommending me this 9 years later

[@thatquietkid]

lego studios is what made me want to make videos and stuff, im so glad the videos are still online

[@LordArgoDog]

4:35 I KEEP LAUGHTING!

[@definitelynot_tfol36]

I wasn't alive back in this year but I feel like if I was, I would have owned a lot of these sets just for the sets themselves.

[@12345marios]

I like how Steven Spielberg casually talks about bick film techniques.

[@aBoxfulOfVids]

Thanks, that's one of the reasons I uploaded this.
I'm kinda bugged they don't tell you how to build the support for the clear plastic (2:30) and string tutorials (3:11). I've noticed however that it's made from part of the fence in the Jurassic Park short (0:23), so at least there's some visual reference.

[@oldaccount409]

aBoxfulOfVids it'd have been cool if they showed you how to build the shark

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

aBoxfulOfVids do you know how they masked the illusion to make to it look like water

[@Jjgm69]

​@@coolvibesreloaded7946That effect is from a product that is used in the construction of dioramas, it is like a white cream and when it dries it becomes transparent, what they probably did was create with transparent resin a square sheet or they may have done it with a square acrylic. After that, they applied the cream in a wave pattern to give it movement.

Thank you for the tips.You can still use these tips today.

[@georgebendall7401]

The Guy sounds like Grandpa Longneck Littlefoot's Grandfather from The Land Before Time Movies and TV Series

[@RoseJetExhaust]

*"How can you do that?"*

[@bradleybrand0]

Very good!

[@chickinglicking]

Thats a cool video! Even without the lego studios camera, you could still use these tips! :-)

[@oldaccount409]

chickinglicking 69 Ikr I was using these techniques like 10 years after the studios sets came out

[@PhatenMosa]

Nice video!

[@rainee5075]

I think this is more useful than the Lego studios book

[@CloudRollerFox]

To bad your videos never had clear quality or customizable frames per second but this brought alot of nostalgia

[@Legoboyzilla]

thanks man

[@trainboy7]

I wonder who did the voices for this?

[@timdodge78]

Awsome

[@arnito2979]

Cool

[@LegoMoviesSuck]

*And now, here are the complete tips for making The Lego Movies:*
1. Use Maya or Blender or any other 3D animation software.
2. Collect profits, you lazy corporate.

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Does anyone know how they made the fx of underwater in that shark clip and when the shark comes ontop is that plastic or what

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Improvision ok I’ll look that up

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Improvision could you possibly find me a link please for this sort of bathroom window

[@kazin8748]

legal

[@lusyhognaston3777]

I wish I had a computer when these sets came out. I would have made dozens of lego films. Can you get the sets on Ebay? And if so will the software work on a laptop?

[@hansf.6463]

Nope. It only works for windows 98 operating system

[@chickinglicking]

:-)

[@majorsmask]

sounds like morgan freeman

[@dinmamma7810]

What camera do you use to do your animations?

[@ChipNebula]

A camera that comes with the larger studios lego set.

[@CounterStriker013009]

[@ClearwaterMK2]
