Alternatively, I think you could do it with one layer and a lot of patience. Moving Mr. LEGO and waiting for the door to line up again. I basically know nothing about editing, so take this theory with a grain of salt. It probably is the dual layered footage @PsychoBelka mentioned.
@@PsychoBelka cant be, you can often tell how these things are done by looking at bounce lighting, its hard to fake and easy to miss (when you have a red floor and a white wall the wall will look a bit red from the bounce lighting) you can see on the lego man that he reflects red, so the door had to be there in his take, also the shadows move and morph with the lego man and the red door perfectly, the only solution is he spent alot of time on this, theres no easy way to do it how he has done it, all the easy ways have markers showing he didnt do them my current theory (how i would do it) is that the door IS stop motion, the sound of the motor is being played over the top, each frame hes moving the door, this would be triple the work from normal already hard stop motion (the door is running at 2 times the frame rate round abouts plus its an extra thing to animate so i estimate 3 times the work) but if we are looking for certainty then i cant tell, ive watched it 30 times now and i cant for the life of me see an obvious tell, the only solution is whatever he did, he worked hard on it and it shows
The stop motion with the rotating door blew me away. Really well-done, whether it was compositing or some other trick that's beyond me. It's just so fascinating to see the things you make for this, but the stop motion is such a stellar bonus, gosh.
its pretty easy to do tbh here what he did: he recorded the stop motion first and then did the animation, and separated he recorded the door^ then he put everything together and put a mask on the lego guy thats what im thinking it was the case, but it blew up my mind for like 5 minutes

For each position of the minifig, instead of a still photo, take a video of the door swinging through all possible positions. Then in editing, select the frame from the video corresponding to the most appropriate position of the door.
@@billyeai don't think that's what he did. That seems unnecessarily tedius. Also the gears look in continuous motion. I think after the minifig stops for a sec he manually moves the gate for every frame instead of using the motor
@@ThatNerdGuy0I think he made one video where the door was turning and then another without it turning and then he combined both. or he slighly turned it for each frame.
SCP-682: What the hell, why can't i break through these cursed doors Scientist: It's because our budget allowed us to buy an entire 4 lego sets to contain you
Every door is cooler than the last one, and I love how you used stop motion (or pulling vehicles with a string) to showcase the doors in an awesome way!
i dont know for sure but they could have taken two videos, one of just the door and another of just the minifigure walking and layered them, and maybe erased the parts where the minifigure was covered by the other video, i could be completely wrong though.
4:35 as an interesting side note, we have a tilt up garage door that achieves the same affect but with the setup being the opposite way round, with the bottom rolling between rails.
It's technically possible with either, or even both as our garage does. Each has their own dis and advantages. I zhink it's one of the more common garage doors as well? Since there's the least pieces to generate friction, thus low maintenace.
Tilt up garage door blew my mind. I don't remember ever seeing anything like this actually built. The geometry of it was mesmerizing. This is what Ross meant when he was yelling, "Pivot!"
i like how clean the editing of the folding garage door because at first when it comes into frame there isnt string attached to it but when the doors open you can barley see the string. great job on that
"folding garage door" 3:13 has a kinematic singularity. To push it from 95% closed to 100% closed without the help of momentum, you must put a lot of force on the tab linking the cable to the door. I wonder how well these work IRL, never seen one.
The trick is to never have it at exactly 180° angle. With real life mechanics that is quite easy to accomplish, not so much with LEGO due to its discrete block sizes.
love this! especially the progression from simple man-doors to further in the technological eras. next could be a missile silo, haha! the attention to detail with the stop-motion is also really cool!
And there could be different doors for a missile silo. A bunker hatch, an iris door, etc.. And he can try to do an airlock and decompression room for submarine or space station.
I can't wrap my mind around the stop motion on the revolving door - this is so impressive and I don't know how you did it!!! I loved all of these designs very much!
You've inspired my 4 and a half year old daughter to build her own technics set. After watching hours of your videos I decided to buy her the little bulldozer kit since she's obviously got the interest. I was right! Wet just started it yesterday and with barely any help from me, she's 80% done today. Thank you for inspiring "grown ups" and kids alike.
there's also other kind of bus doors, that instead of sliding, they kinda rotate around, like tilt up garage door. honestly, i would like to see it made in lego. same goes for pop-out and slide train doors, not sure how they're actually made and since i'm already throwing ideas out, what about elevator doors? they often have interesting kinematics of coupling and locking, even if at the end of the day, they're nothing but simple sliding doors
For the third one I don't know how you were able to do the stop animation so perfectly with the revolving door and the guy walking through it this video was perfect in every way especially since she didn't have any music playing we could just hear the motors working
What a wonderful collection. I was still hoping to see the Stargate style iris (after all, they call its remote key the “garage door opener”), but alas. Maybe next time!
Oh man, you can't believe how much this scratches the itch I had as a kid to build these sorts of doors. I was weirdly fascinated by bus and trams as a kid for this very reason.
Impressed you did the hangar doors. You have an aviation background? Our first hangar we actually built with duel bifold doors. A TV cameraman didn’t realise and left his camera in front of the doors and it got knocked over when we opened up. No Lego motors, all just human powered.

Just amazing use of lego and demonstrations of so many key engineering mechanisms. That they reflect the doors that we've all seen and how they work makes it all the better. The only query I have in my head is if no. 7, the Tip up garage door, the motor mechanism is in the right place? I'd have guessed that the mechanism for these would be a sliding rack and pinion to lift the door because rotating the arm requires a lot of torque. Just a thought, happy to be proven wrong and doesn't detract from it all at all. I'd love to see some of the lego city builders incorporate this kind of thing in their creations.
This channel was already great, but the little stop motion bits make it that much better!
