As a new animator, this video really helps me get ideas about how pros do things.

[@schwabgazette]

Amazing...Thanks for this video and keep the other ones coming!!

[@AFOLMAN]

Thanks for making this video! You make great videos!

[@jdoteasy1]

?

[@spencerdaye5401]

You put so much effort in to your vids! With this video I see how much you put in!!!

[@danielrosa8389]

I totally agree! You're amazing

[@ScoutGuy]

I must say, about 50 hours is rather impressive for a 5+ minute video.

[@Jeefly]

things i like about this video. 1. He uses Windows 8, 2. he uses cannon

[@luvsYuri]

Canon* Hahahahahah, your comment made my day! But sure, a cannon can shoot too. Be careful when shooting at Lego with a cannon though, the bricks may just blow up :D

[@yerboilloris3998]

Hey man, nice work, keep up the awesome editing, photography, and just being plain awesome! Also, can you make a James Bond themed movie? No pressure though. Just stay cool dude!

[@equidaes]

I love legos! I want to play with them even when I turn 100!!
90 years later
*opens gift and looks at the lego box* oh damn it. The age restriction says 1-99 *dies of sadness*
CHANGE THE AGE RESTRICTIONNNNNNS

[@bryan1282]

Wow! Thats crazy the amount of time and effort it takes to make a video. I think id rather just watch them then make them. Awesome job you do!!!

[@shojulee]

So Hecox? Did you enjoy watching the Lego Movie?

[@braydenhayes9317]

I know did!

[@ajayghale5410]

the thing that impresses me the most about the lego movie is that its really animated well

[@shojulee]

***** Stop motion would be really difficult to do with all the people jumping, bricks breaking, expressions, etc. That would be like couple of years to do. Though I did see a video and post that the Lego Movie 2 should be out in 2018. That's just a rumor though I think.

[@ajayghale5410]

***** id didnt know that :(

[@deepaknagpal420]

I guesss !!?

[@ericneilson9355]

I want to organize my Legos too

[@mskikirocks]

Super cool. My nephew and I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!

[@-ElBrandon-]

Thanks for sharing this. My son is 4 and he loves watching your videos. He has gotten old enough for LEGO and he and I enjoy building stuff together and playing. Then I got interested in trying to make my own videos for fun. I think it would be a good experience to show my son how it’s done so he can eventually do it himself if he wants.

[@HawxAnimator]

This is my 100th time watching this video !

[@benportera6951]

Wow Michael, your lego collection makes MINE seem like nothing! Your videos are amazing! Keep up the good work!
