A Star Wars animation in the works? Let’s go!

[@Cheesehead_Caleb]

Yoooo same reaction here!!!

[@BCStrikeProductions]

I know it looked awesome!

[@apprenricebrickoflegend]

Whooo!

[@VenomBricx]

Sup lg

[@LegoGamer5502]

Venom Bricx yo

[@LEGOLandOfficial]

excellent work, you are a true inspiration for those who started in stop motion!

[@generalbrickfilms8237]

Definitely

[@BCStrikeProductions]

Wow, you showed how you get the clean frames! Who else wants to see that Star Wars film?! I love your Videos!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@CSLego-cl3zp]

Dude, I`m so excited for his new videos. They`re the best lego videos i have ever seen

[@BCStrikeProductions]

@@CSLego-cl3zp yeah!

[@okwstudios]

@@CSLego-cl3zp agreed

[@starwarsstudio100]

Ah this was pretty neat as always, well done and keep up the good work!

[@fin.animations]

Yes ikr so good

[@crustycream8470]

The utilisation of two dimensional space kinda reminds me of the perspective trickery they used in the actual films to make the Hobbit actors appear smaller than they were. That's pretty cool.

[@magmamelon7621]

You are so insanely talented. For me, a long guide on how to get started at this kind of stuff would be a blessing.

[@StrangerBlocks]

3:16 “I’ve been looking forward to this”

[@TommlyFivem]

Awesome behind the scenes keep up the good work!

[@fin.animations]

Yeah ikr it’s so cool to see behind the scenes

[@Ryan-vs1ux]

Awesome video, I love the BTS stuff! “Take the Wizards Staff” is definitely one of my favorites of yours. Not only is the fight amazing but the jokes are also quite good!

[@legendofzeldafan8105]

I thought that castle was a real building.GOOD JOB

[@raxanimations7215]

I am sure this guy can narrate the whole history of mankind in a 1 Minute video

[@geoduet5461]

I knew the slash/jump/rend move reminded me of something ! The force unleashed is truly one of the best animations can think of when recalling old brickfilms ! This, and "the duel" by Namchild

[@Crafterman535]

It’s incredible how you were able to implement squash and stretch with static LEGO figures

[@fin.animations]

Yeah I agree!

[@zillaquazar]

That slam by gandalf is so epic

[@nonstopanimations101]

Man what i would give for those LOTR and Hobbit sets🤓

[@fin.animations]

Oh hi NonStop Animations! I am subed to u!

[@KTLaughter]

Clone Wars Season 7 and Revenge of the Sith?!?!?!

[@RapidActionAnimations]

All these techniques are very clever and creative! When I watch these I use these same ideas for my animations! Thanks :)

[@QuackingFilms]

Love the remove the head technique for emphasing a hit, thanks for the tip!

[@JBPstopmotion78]

Your my MAIN inspiration to animate

[@bdonaghu]

The amount of work that goes into these animated videos is just astounding. Well done!

[@AntBandit]

Great idea with the differently sized minifig legs!

[@Ered15.]

This is awesome! You put so much work into these stop motion’s, they look incredible.

[@leg-o-laughs]

I cant get over how awesome your scenes look!

[@HaroldTheWizardCat]

I love these videos

[@Maosl]

This was very informative! It’s so interesting to see how you make your animations! Keep up the great work!!!

[@lavbas2107]

sooo goooooooooooooooooooddd if only we can have a series of these

[@angrypotato_fz]

I love your short comedy animations, especially LotR related ones. But I'm beginning to think that I love the Behind the Scenes videos even more. So much amazing craftsmanship and wits to solve the problems in efficient ways. That's... inspiring! And the squashing, a principle of animation, made in Lego... Pure gold :) "I give them short legs", hahaha

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

Awesome I was just watching through some of the other behind the scenes videos over the weekend! I always like seeing more of this stuff especially being an amateur animator!;)

[@SilbsFN]

This is so good!!!

[@blackbirdmotionstudios7423]

[@SpeakBroccoli]

This was incredibly helpful.

[@artatron]

Thanks Brotherhood workshop for getting me interested in lord of the rings, just watched two towers. I am amazed at how well you matched stopmotion to actual screens in the movie

[@JordanTaylorVideos]

Amazing.

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

I learned to do stuff like this cause I was a homeschooler 😅I'm sure you know how that goes.

[@will.2274]

Amazing

[@abtopssenderismo7300]

Adoro tu canal, me inspiras a diario a hacer videos de lego!!

[@FirefistKai]

I think you should get that lego ikea box when it comes out, I think it will make the process much easier

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

I might.

[@vozesesquecidasinvisiveisl2899]
