Great stuff dude! Real accessible. That's something I struggle with when explaining animation, I take so much stuff for granted that I forget to explain a lot of it.
Honestly huge respect to your first animation that you showed. The fact you actually had motion, not to mention with multiple characters, from your first animation is amazing.
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m a huge fan of stop motion, and have been since I first saw a replay of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad in the theater ages ago as a kid. The thing that always keeps me from attempting to make my own is struggling with a terrible degree of perfectionism. But after watching this video, I am beginning to understand that it’s ok to start simple and to have imperfect expectations.
Hey! Thanks for the shout out! This video is awesome! You are doing an amazing job breaking down the basics for the next generation of brickfilmers, excited to see more :)
@@JDI_4 in pretty sure you take all of the characters off but keep the baseplate is the exact same place and take a picture and when you edit the blocks out the background will be underneath if you need help you can search on UA-cam and I think there’s easier methods, hope that helps
Thank so much man, this video was so helpful. I just started practicing LEGO stop motion and I’m gonna be making my own LEGO stop motion movie one day. It’s gonna be called the space warrior by the way
I love stopmotion and have started recently! These tips are extremely helpful. Thank you so much! Watching your stopmotions you've already done at the start of the video was so amazing how they were so smooth and clean they were! This just shows how long you've been doing your job, and I just think you're awesome! Carry on making the incredible content you already are! 😊😊😊
For my first attempt on an animation, it wasn't that bad, I struggled to keep the camera still because a few times when I tap the picture button, it moved a little bit so it's not perfect but I think I can fix that. So I will try it again and try to fix the camera movements. But thanks for helping me get started, that's really helpful.
This was the first video I watched on the subject, and it was also the last! Made a quick 2.5 second video and was very happy with the result! Thank you!
The one I use is actually an industrial packing table made by Uline. It's extremely heavy, has metal shelves and costs around $350. I splurged to get a nice table for animation, but you can definitely use any sturdy table/desk. You can even wedge some weights or sandbags against table legs to make sure tables won't move or slide. I have seen some animators use strong tape to fasten table legs to floors as well. Professional animation tables are usually built from wood and have cross beams underneath to keep it from wobbling.
This is the best channel ever. I tried to make Lego movies with 14 tutorials rules. But this one, helps me a lot. Now, I’ll create masterpiece! (My opinion).
I love this guide! It’s always great to hear that it’s possible to make videos even without the experience and equipment initially. Thank you for the amazing video!
I just made my first Lego stop motion and I can say that some of these tips certainly work. My first stop motion isn't that great but these tips certainly helped a lot.
I would love to see guides on how to do camera movements. It is something that I've pretty much never done before. Also I'm an odd one out cause I animate at 10 fps lol.
Huge thanks, you just got me started in lego animation - thank you for the app recommendation and I love the different animations you showed clips of. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
The cheapest way would be to use LEGO pieces, you can build a support using bricks or bars and then sticky tack whatever you want on the end. I have even used poseable Bionicle pieces to hold things. If you're ok with spending money I'd recommend looking for "Helping Hands" tools, or even pro stop motion rigs like the ones made by Kinetic Armatures. These do get very expensive though as they are usually custom made in small orders
i love the video! i came into it already having a grasp on the basics so i wasn’t looking to learn much, and yet after watching it i feel so much smarter. you have made it to the top of my list of favorite animators
If you wanted to save time photographing the model waving and it's not doing anything else, you could copy and reverse order the previous shots from the last one (did this in college when the studio was time limited for my personal use and I only had two weeks to put together a 2 minute piece.)
As an already more advanced animator, though nothing here is new to me, I still like watching videos like this and seeing how other people approach stop motion animation and the different tips and such. So more vids like this would be great!🙂
4:55 - in regards to making sure your phone doesn’t move while snapping photos … if you have an OTG cable… or one of those lightning to usb adapters for your iPhone… you can connect a usb keyboard to it, and control the shutter button that way. I’ve used that before in the past, and it helps me keep the camera still because every time I tap the screen to hit the shutter button, it moves slightly. Also, Stop Motion Studio has the very useful feature called Onion Skin, which helps seeing the past photo so you know how far to move each time.
thx so much for the tutorial now i posted on my channel ( that is not a advertisement) with my first animation. I know its not perfect but still thx for the video. I subscribed. Mybe more tutorials?
Wow that was amazing! Really helpful even for me. I already animate and have this yt channel for it but I haven’t done animating for a really long time due to just being very busy, this video really helped me to start animating again - Thanks
I used to use a tripod for filming, and it was really hard to get good angles. Thanks for the tip on using a small stand made out of lego, much easier to get good angles.
Dude, thank you SO MUCH for this! Beacuse of this, my stop motion looks much more smooth than ever before! I truly hope you make some more, ie fight scenes and running, beacuse this was spot on for a newbie like me!
Absolutely incredible tutorial, thank you for taking your time making it. I made a few videos on my channel with an iPhone, yesterday I bought Canon EOS RP hoping to step my game up. I am going to ahead and watch all your videos.
Hi. I recently became interested in this topic and immediately came across your channel! I want to thank for your advice they are very wonderful! I admire your work and in the future I would like to learn so! But unfortunately I see that the course is not updated (((Maybe you have a full course from a beginner then a pro?
Christ bless you, thank you for this i just got back into Lego star wars and I wanted to make some stop motion as a pass time this helps a bunch thanks again
Great video! Lighting is always something I’ve struggled with and still do to this day…Would be awesome if you could talk about lighting in future tutorials!
Great stuff dude! Real accessible. That's something I struggle with when explaining animation, I take so much stuff for granted that I forget to explain a lot of it.
Thanks man!!
Wow! When one great gives another great a compliment!
The man the myth the legend, brother hood workshop you are amazing
Legend
жду когда будет обучение как снимать анимации на дорогом оборудовании!!!
Honestly huge respect to your first animation that you showed. The fact you actually had motion, not to mention with multiple characters, from your first animation is amazing.
Now i know how much effort this takes. Full respect to people who do stop motion like you.
I would love to see a tutorial for how to do fight scenes! Really liked this, by the way, a great refresher!

Your animations are incredible but I have to say the cinematography, set up and overall look of your videos always keeps me hooked!!
Ah thanks so much! That means alot
Thanks you are my sponsor for starting me off🎉🎉

Thanks man! Im a big fan of all your stuff
LEGO animation has been my dream since I was very young. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
how do i make a character jump?
You’ll have to use Lego bricks and edit them out after
@@SkibidiGreenScreen how do i keep my background if i do the editing?
@@JDI_4 in pretty sure you take all of the characters off but keep the baseplate is the exact same place and take a picture and when you edit the blocks out the background will be underneath if you need help you can search on UA-cam and I think there’s easier methods, hope that helps

I need to know too

What is a good sturdy animation desk that you would recommend?

I didnt think i would actually make something like this and do it not so badly thanks for the tutorial
Thank You you are a really good underrated youtuber :)
I appreciate that!
Thanks, bro. I’m actually learning Lego stop motion for a Beta Club project that I had an idea about, and this would be helpful.
This video was a great help! I finally got my animations smoothed with ease in and out. I loved how they look now, Thank you!
Loved all of this. I created my first stop motion because of this video and can't wait to make more. Are you planning on more tutorials?
This is the best channel ever. I tried to make Lego movies with 14 tutorials rules. But this one, helps me a lot. Now, I’ll create masterpiece! (My opinion).
I’ve been making stop motion for a while but this was still very helpful!
I still enjoy watching beginner tutorials too, always a helpful to get a refresher on the fundamentals! Glad it helped
Same.
Looked this up for my son and he and his brother are hooked! Thank you for making this so accessible.
I started stop motion in a Lego club in my school. I found
It super fun I. Worked with a partner it was fun and also you are a god at stop motion
I love this guide! It’s always great to hear that it’s possible to make videos even without the experience and equipment initially. Thank you for the amazing video!
Amazing stuff bro! For me I don’t have enough patience but I have the talent to make one
Your studio looks so cool! Love the lighting and depth of field of the studio shot
Thanks man! I plan on doing a studio tour at some point
My son wanted to thank you for your great instructions! We just finished up our first Lego stop motion with more to come.
This is going to make my stop motion is way better thank you for the tips hopefully one day I can get as good as you :D
I just made my first Lego stop motion and I can say that some of these tips certainly work. My first stop motion isn't that great but these tips certainly helped a lot.
i just recently got back into stop motion, and this was very helpful, keep up the good work!
Nobody gonna talk abt how good his first animation was
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
I would love to see guides on how to do camera movements. It is something that I've pretty much never done before. Also I'm an odd one out cause I animate at 10 fps lol.
Huge thanks, you just got me started in lego animation - thank you for the app recommendation and I love the different animations you showed clips of. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Great tutorial
What equipment is good for holding an object in the air?
The cheapest way would be to use LEGO pieces, you can build a support using bricks or bars and then sticky tack whatever you want on the end. I have even used poseable Bionicle pieces to hold things.

Very nice man thanks for the tips and tricks!
0:37 That’s still better than most peoples first stuff lol. Great video! Already knew a lot of that but it has still helpfully.

Fantastic tutorial! Great for an beginners in Stop Motion or animation in general!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. My 9-year-old son is having a blast trying this out.
I was wondering about backgrounds, run cycles and fight scenes
Great video. I want to do Lego stop motion as a library program, and this was perfect for a total newbie like me.
Really great video and super helpful for a moderately experienced stop motion animator. I did not know about the headphone audio trick!

This is a great video! Thanks for getting me into Lego Stop Motion! 💛
Your first animation is just incredible :)
thanks for the tips!. i didnt even know where to start when it came to stop motion before this video

I loved this video! It got me wanting to try some Stop-Motion of my own, also not to mention the video itself is super helpful!
OKAY TBH EVEN UR FIRST ONE IS AMAZING
Dude thank you I have been trying to find how to do stop motion for years and now I've found a nice and simple way to do it Thank you so much!
Great tips! Everything a beginner needs to get started!
A lighting or set buidling tuturial would be amazing, keep up the fantastic work man!
I used to use a tripod for filming, and it was really hard to get good angles. Thanks for the tip on using a small stand made out of lego, much easier to get good angles.
Dude, thank you SO MUCH for this!
Beacuse of this, my stop motion looks much more smooth than ever before! I truly hope you make some more, ie fight scenes and running, beacuse this was spot on for a newbie like me!

Thank you a lot for this! This really helps me since I started out with a shaky surface with constant light flickers!
your tutorial is great and i will use this
I LOVE stop motion studio, my Dad recommended it to me a while ago and it has been really uselful

I’ve always wanted to do stop animation, and now I think I might be ready
I made a T. rex eat a guy tysm for this tutorial
Something else I just thought of, you should do a tutorial on the 12 Principles of Animation as they specifically apply to stop motion!
Wow dude thanks i hope it will help me much in my animations
Thanks a lot!! I've been struggling with walk cycles but you really helped !! Please do make tutorials on fight scenes...yours are really great
This helps me make my stop motions look better i will use this in my next video thank you for helping me.
Amazing vid, looking forward to more, to do more with these bricks. Also wondering what's next?
So glad to have come across this video and now subscribed! Very helpful already and can't wait to watch more of your videos ☺️
Great guide! Thank you for doing this looking forward to future episodes!

Your first one is really good especially for your first one
Never really understood the easing in/ out bit until now. Would also like to see how to animate flying techniques w/out the "fancy equipment" lol
I have been doing stop motion for a while now and i still wanted to watch this
Very helpful content! I'll definitely use this for my future projects, thank you. And because of that, you earned another subsciber😉
