10 Special Effects you can use in your Brickfilms

[@LightsCameraandLego]

It was awesome doing this collaboration with you Gold Puffin! Thanks for the opportunity!

[@GoldPuffin]

Ahh my collaborator is here in the comments! Thanks for persuading me to do this, I think it turned out alright in the end, didn't it? :-) And thanks again for working with me on this video, it was a pleasure!

[@LightsCameraandLego]

@@GoldPuffin 100% I thought it was awesome and your audience seems to be liking it. I wonder how the video will perform over time being that your channel is mainly focused around mocs now. It was a pleasure! Thanks! Hope to do more in the future.

The ice rink is clever because there are times when you forget where the minifigure has just been so with the paper you can see that. I guess you could also do something similar with footprints

There are a couple of wonderful ideas for special effects without using VFX in this video. Especially the skating effect is a good idea. I can imagine doing some footprints with this technique in my own stop-motion movies. Thanks for sharing this.

[@lazybuilders4720]

The ice skating one gave me an idea, if I have a piece of paper, then I can put little tracks on it as the lego minifigure walks, I bet I could do that with snow angels too, but thanks for the idea!

[@LightsCameraandLego]

Sounds interesting! I'd love to what it would look like. Glad you liked the ice skating effect.

I don't know any other ways to do a ghost except maybe drawing it onto a sheet of clear plastic, or just building a ghost out of Lego and just using it like normal without making it see through - in one of my videos I showed a way to build a ghost here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5SqkphmdtplnLs or of course you can do your own design :-)

I would like to use the gone in a flash effect but I don’t know what FPS to do it so what FPS did you use?

[@GoldPuffin]

I shot it at 10 FPS but you could do it at any FPS, you just need to adjust how many photos you take and the distance that the minifigure moves between them (more FPS = smaller movements). If you are shooting at a high FPS like 24/25 then it might look better shooting on 2s (i.e. two frames for each position/photo) and if there are other movements in the scene shoot them on 1s. If you don't know what I'm talking about with that last bit about 2s and 1s then just ignore it!
