Although a few of my ancestors fought in WWI against the Belgians (most were in the Eastern Front), I have nothing but respect for the brave defence of the Belgians defending their homeland against impossible odds.
Fun fact! In real life, the gunner crew had to run an entire American football field away, put cotton in their ears, and even then they had to hold their mouth open, otherwise their ears would burst from the sheer explosive force.
Amazing. The depth of field, cinematography, set, the little details... the soldier's arm being bent backwards after being shot (1:56) is such a small thing but adds a little touch of reality. And these just keep getting better...
2:55 This is the Big Bertha forts killer cannon adopted by the German Empire in 1914, a total of 12 pieces were released. These forts killers fired at the fortress of Liege, Osovets and other fortresses in Europe surprisingly, the Osovets fortress Big Bertha could not destroy and the rest of the fortresses could.
@@Dishbsmeosisusujsjsjs Ah yes, Major Raimo. A quite high ranking officer he was. Well, basically he made terrible strategic fighting decisions and doomed thousands of soldiers.
Having the Lego. Building it this way and with so many changes through the short film. Adding the sound design. The animation. The cut. Truly a work of art.
Excellent, Just excellent. Loved the dramatic buildup of the 210mm shell detonating the forts magazine. Why don't we have movies like this in Hollywood?
Im glad lego animation is still a thing on youtube. I remember some of the first videos I ever saw on youtube when I was a young lad were lego animations on the family computer.
Wel I am Belgian. And I have visited the site of fort de loncin. I have to say that this is a realy good tribute to those brave soldiers. Thank you. Lest we forget.
I would absolutely love to see more of your videos! although my suggestion will probably go unnoticed, i'll still put a few battles on my mind: Battle of Makóvka [1915] (would absolutely love to see Austro-Hungary present in your video) White War (Battle of the Dolomites) [1915] Battle of Ada Ciganlija (Battle of Belgrade) [1915]
I particularly love the WWI animations. I would also like to see Battle Of Tannenburg (1914) and the 2nd Battle Of Ypres (1915). I like your choice of Austro-Hungarian involvement. I like the way you think. The Eastern and Isonzo Fronts are all too often forgotten.
Yeah, the Belgians had a very bad few days at Liege. Fort De Loncin (depicted in the film) did indeed receive a magazine hit during the battle, which resulted in an explosion that killed most of the soldiers inside. The fort is now a military cemetery and was never rebuilt.
A big thanks to Andrew and Daniel for putting together the sound design and music for this video, check out their websites here. andrewbrewerproductions.com danieldavismusic.com
The sound has greatly increased. I love how the french and german guys talk to eachother Pov you just upset a bunch of people by calling them french. 💀 I'm sorry I thought they where French 💀
@@oilersridersbluejaysthese Belgians obviously speak French. So they may be Walloons, or they speak French because that’s the language of officers and nobility in Belgium.
Im gonna say it, 1 day gang? Also......im typing this before the vid so.....BYE! After the movie: I can't believe watch I just watch, is this lego or real war? I don't even know! The voice acting makes it sound more emersive and the bombardment scene really makes me chill. Well done again sergeant......😢 well done. What a legend you are...🫡
@squirrel287 technically not the first battle of WWI, but close. The first movements on the Western Front was German troops crossing the Luxembourg frontier.
Dear JD Brick Productions, This video was one of the best Lego stop motion videos I have ever seen. The attention to detail was so precise and I really admire that. The amount of time and sheer dedication you put into this video absolutely amazes me. I just saw this video pop up and it looked very cool. The thumbnail got me hooked on the video and it was so entertaining. This video was definitely worth my time. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. I can't believe how accurate you made things to real life. I have seen lots of World War I Re-enactments, and this is spot on to them. The soldiers marching at the start were very accurate and the voice-overs were so good. I applaud you on every piece of this video. The recoil on the turrets were very realistic. How did you do that? The bullets being loaded into the turrets were pretty giant; they were like the size (or bigger) than the men's hands! This project must have costed a lot of money to make. The amount of Lego pieces used in this is mind-blowing. I also like how you used a different language for the defending troops. I think that they were German. Correct me if I'm wrong. Although I don't know of this battle, I feel as though I know it way better just from watching a 5-minute UA-cam video. I have one more question: How did you make the troops shoot smoke? All-in-all, this was very educating, and I can't wait for more like this from you guys. Thank You. Sincerely, Andrew Castor
Fantastic stop motion. I don't know why, but the part with the arty shell is so exciting, love it how the cam is shaking and trying to keep the shell in focus 🥰
Your animations have definitely become more lively when it comes to background action. The little men along around the bunker, the cannons rotating in sentient fashion, truly have come a long way!
Cant believe this was over 110 years ago and the germans had artillary that powerful! Also this video is incredible better than anything i have ever seen the small details the expolsions the stop motion and animations guns and alot more are so AMAZING! Thank you jd for making this work of art.
You actually forget that those are minifigures and not real actors/people, the assembly of the Dicke Bertha, the trajectory of its projectile, that absolutely shitty feeling of the men in 4:03 in a bunker that is to protect them but becomes their grave in 4:22 and so on, man, this is first grade cinema. It relays the horror of war better than most war films I ever saw. This is a 10 out of 10.
Damn that was amazinĵg to watch. Very talented. This is exactly what was in my imagination when i was a child playing with legos. Amazing, we need a whole movie
This was a phenomenal depiction of the battle of Liège. This battle - I find, is not talked nor replicated as often as it should and you did an amazing job showing how hard the Belgians fought, the german resilience and most of all, the power of the germans big gun: "Big Bertha". I perticulairly loved the use of the Belgian uniforms. I thought they were spot on. This film really showed how fast a battle can change in the opposing side favor. Awesome film, great job!
Now this is how you make a PROPER Lego movie. Not CGI animated but stop motion! This looks so freaking cool and I would imagine apex levels of effort were made to produce this. Such a unique way of reenacting real life battles from history.
I still cant believe this is stop motion.... there were times where i genuinely believed that surely they used at least a but of cgi or something, but its just so many frames per second and so high quality... this had to take forever
Bro has better cinomatography than 90% of Hollywood
Lets stay on the facts...
You're right.😊

This was done better then any of the Lego movies

Depends on which fort, most of forts surrendered after heavy artillery started fire. Depiction show fort Loncin I think
All of the forts surrendered what the fuck are you talking about
Nah, they also largely surrendered.

The combinations of skills required to make something like this is jaw dropping, amazing stuff!
Excellent, Just excellent. Loved the dramatic buildup of the 210mm shell detonating the forts magazine. Why don't we have movies like this in Hollywood?

That howitzer scene hit hard 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
BoraTuna StopMotion I love your videos! When will you upload a new one?
The best Lego stop-motion ever
Always loved these stop motions since i was a kid. The animation, effects, cgi has improved dramatically. Overall superb job!

Battle of Makóvka [1915] (would absolutely love to see Austro-Hungary present in your video)
White War (Battle of the Dolomites) [1915]
Battle of Ada Ciganlija (Battle of Belgrade) [1915]

That build up to the big bertha was some Hollywood level stuff. Great job!
I was just wondering if Bertha was going to show up, and then she did and I literally cheered.
I missed you man. Also i love ww1 fort designs and you nailed, im just about yo watch and im on the edge of my seat.
Its probably my favorite one. Screams and real voices! awesome
The animation is so satisfying to watch and I love the attention to details. Congrats to you and the sound designers!
