Beginners Guide to LEGO Stop Motion Animation

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

Great stuff dude! Real accessible. That's something I struggle with when explaining animation, I take so much stuff for granted that I forget to explain a lot of it.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks man!!

[@lego4virgo]

Wow! When one great gives another great a compliment!

[@stopmotioncentral5911]

The man the myth the legend, brother hood workshop you are amazing

жду когда будет обучение как снимать анимации на дорогом оборудовании!!!

[@dplonker6140]

Honestly huge respect to your first animation that you showed. The fact you actually had motion, not to mention with multiple characters, from your first animation is amazing.

[@Clownest]

Now i know how much effort this takes. Full respect to people who do stop motion like you.

[@rabbitholestudios06]

I would love to see a tutorial for how to do fight scenes! Really liked this, by the way, a great refresher!

[@TheClickedBrick]

i too would love the tutorial

[@Bluepuffanimations]

Nonstop animations made 2 tutorials for fight scenes you should check them out

[@SW_Bricks]

Your animations are incredible but I have to say the cinematography, set up and overall look of your videos always keeps me hooked!!

[@AntBandit]

Ah thanks so much! That means alot

[@robinearle1118]

Thanks you are my sponsor for starting me off🎉🎉

[@robinearle1118]

CAMERA!

[@JesusAndLego]

Thank you so much for making this video. I’m a huge fan of stop motion, and have been since I first saw a replay of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad in the theater ages ago as a kid. The thing that always keeps me from attempting to make my own is struggling with a terrible degree of perfectionism. But after watching this video, I am beginning to understand that it’s ok to start simple and to have imperfect expectations.

[@Your.average.striker]

I’m a stop motion pro because of you!!

[@FuriousTyphoon]

0:38 "here's a look at the first thing I ever animated as a kid" *proceeds to show the most charming 2008 Lego Star War Stop motion*

[@Bluepuffanimations]

Mine was sonic running in a custom mario set

[@BrickHouse101]

I’ve been making stop motion for a while but this was still very helpful!

[@AntBandit]

I still enjoy watching beginner tutorials too, always a helpful to get a refresher on the fundamentals! Glad it helped

[@spartanskybird1905]

Same.

[@buggobricks]

I’ve been doing stop motions for a while now but it’s always nice hear about the basics again.

[@caleballgaier]

I would love to see guides on how to do camera movements. It is something that I've pretty much never done before. Also I'm an odd one out cause I animate at 10 fps lol.

[@StMichaelsCottage]

I love stopmotion and have started recently! These tips are extremely helpful. Thank you so much! Watching your stopmotions you've already done at the start of the video was so amazing how they were so smooth and clean they were! This just shows how long you've been doing your job, and I just think you're awesome! Carry on making the incredible content you already are! 😊😊😊

[@BlueToothRBX1]

I’m make stop motions not good as you but it’s pretty much 👍 except shadows and camera moves this helped me thanks 🙏

[@AntBandit]

So glad it was helpful!

[@markfarrugia8226]

I started stop motion in a Lego club in my school. I found It super fun I. Worked with a partner it was fun and also you are a god at stop motion

[@HuxleyBerg]

Hey! Thanks for the shout out! This video is awesome! You are doing an amazing job breaking down the basics for the next generation of brickfilmers, excited to see more :)

[@AntBandit]

Thanks man! Im a big fan of all your stuff

[@NomadicSeafarer]

This was the first video I watched on the subject, and it was also the last! Made a quick 2.5 second video and was very happy with the result! Thank you!

[@itsaboutbricks]

This is going to make my stop motion is way better thank you for the tips hopefully one day I can get as good as you :D

[@BenCade]

My son wanted to thank you for your great instructions! We just finished up our first Lego stop motion with more to come.

[@TheRedBread1.0]

I didnt think i would actually make something like this and do it not so badly thanks for the tutorial

[@JillHenley]

Looked this up for my son and he and his brother are hooked! Thank you for making this so accessible.

[@bingerfozoepixgaming]

This is the best channel ever. I tried to make Lego movies with 14 tutorials rules. But this one, helps me a lot. Now, I’ll create masterpiece! (My opinion).

[@Basically.Bricks]

Very nice man thanks for the tips and tricks!

[@Inkybonnie27]

This video was a great help! I finally got my animations smoothed with ease in and out. I loved how they look now, Thank you!

[@potatochip_6285]

I love this guide! It’s always great to hear that it’s possible to make videos even without the experience and equipment initially. Thank you for the amazing video!

[@Lop44]

i just recently got back into stop motion, and this was very helpful, keep up the good work!

[@AstroNuggetKOS]

Amazing stuff bro! For me I don’t have enough patience but I have the talent to make one

[@Chickenstrip0_0]

I just made my first Lego stop motion and I can say that some of these tips certainly work. My first stop motion isn't that great but these tips certainly helped a lot.

[@wades_world22]

Huge thanks, you just got me started in lego animation - thank you for the app recommendation and I love the different animations you showed clips of. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@MintyBricks]

Your studio looks so cool! Love the lighting and depth of field of the studio shot

[@AntBandit]

Thanks man! I plan on doing a studio tour at some point

[@nemodatquodnonhabet]

A lighting or set buidling tuturial would be amazing, keep up the fantastic work man!

[@happyfuntimes6259]

your tutorial is great and i will use this

[@CRBrickProductions66]

Wow that was amazing! Really helpful even for me. I already animate and have this yt channel for it but I haven’t done animating for a really long time due to just being very busy, this video really helped me to start animating again - Thanks

[@TheClickedBrick]

i love the video! i came into it already having a grasp on the basics so i wasn’t looking to learn much, and yet after watching it i feel so much smarter. you have made it to the top of my list of favorite animators

[@AntBandit]

Good to hear!

[@ThatWookieeGamer]

As an already more advanced animator, though nothing here is new to me, I still like watching videos like this and seeing how other people approach stop motion animation and the different tips and such. So more vids like this would be great!🙂

[@AntBandit]

I like to do the same thing! More advanced tutorials will definitely come later down the road 😁

[@ThatWookieeGamer]

@@AntBandit Looking forward to it!

[@overthemoonfilms5104]

I would love to see you do a tutorial on lighting.

[@AntBandit]

That will definitely be coming in the future!

[@Ze_Zi_Animation_Studios]

Thank so much man, this video was so helpful. I just started practicing LEGO stop motion and I’m gonna be making my own LEGO stop motion movie one day. It’s gonna be called the space warrior by the way

Thank you a lot for this! This really helps me since I started out with a shaky surface with constant light flickers!

[@trainslife1072]

Dude thank you I have been trying to find how to do stop motion for years and now I've found a nice and simple way to do it Thank you so much!

[@Lego_stopmotion_guy]

thank you so much for the help your first stopmotion is so clean its better than mine lol

[@kola_mc]

4:55 - in regards to making sure your phone doesn’t move while snapping photos … if you have an OTG cable… or one of those lightning to usb adapters for your iPhone… you can connect a usb keyboard to it, and control the shutter button that way. I’ve used that before in the past, and it helps me keep the camera still because every time I tap the screen to hit the shutter button, it moves slightly. Also, Stop Motion Studio has the very useful feature called Onion Skin, which helps seeing the past photo so you know how far to move each time.

[@IntotheBrickofIt]

Soo helpful!! Ty has m trying so hard to get better and this was wonderful!

[@m0us3.b0neZ]

“And that shows you that everyone starts from somewhere” meanwhile this dude just being amazing his first try

[@SaberBrickStudios]

Really great video and super helpful for a moderately experienced stop motion animator. I did not know about the headphone audio trick!

[@Avgeek200]

Thank you so much, I’m a beginner and have no tools at all and now I’ve practised a bit and plan on doing some Star Wars animations,

[@Purely_Satisfying]

Absolutely incredible tutorial, thank you for taking your time making it. I made a few videos on my channel with an iPhone, yesterday I bought Canon EOS RP hoping to step my game up. I am going to ahead and watch all your videos.

[@jrl518]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. My 9-year-old son is having a blast trying this out.

[@legobudterencestudios]

Your first animation is just incredible :)

[@TLM_Officiel]

[@CrypticStudiosYT]

Great video! Lighting is always something I’ve struggled with and still do to this day…Would be awesome if you could talk about lighting in future tutorials!

[@toca_Iexi]

I LOVE stop motion studio, my Dad recommended it to me a while ago and it has been really uselful

[@gwbricks]

Thanks! This is very helpful!

[@OxburgerStudios]

[@Totally_Not_Dupe]

Thanks, bro. I’m actually learning Lego stop motion for a Beta Club project that I had an idea about, and this would be helpful.

[@smasherthecannonball6240]

Dude, thank you SO MUCH for this! Beacuse of this, my stop motion looks much more smooth than ever before! I truly hope you make some more, ie fight scenes and running, beacuse this was spot on for a newbie like me!

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

I’m so going to try this now!!! Thanks for the tutorial! So needed!!!

[@nickshook613]

Fantastic tutorial! Great for an beginners in Stop Motion or animation in general!

[@10cutemoose]

The first thing you ever animated was so much better than mine lol. Your super good at this!

[@lmfdynasty8193]

I used to use a tripod for filming, and it was really hard to get good angles. Thanks for the tip on using a small stand made out of lego, much easier to get good angles.

[@BrickStopMotionStudios]

thanks for the tips!. i didnt even know where to start when it came to stop motion before this video

[@lewissek]

thx so much for the tutorial now i posted on my channel ( that is not a advertisement) with my first animation. I know its not perfect but still thx for the video. I subscribed. Mybe more tutorials?

[@sunshinebear1979]

Loved all of this. I created my first stop motion because of this video and can't wait to make more. Are you planning on more tutorials?

[@ANGOOSE-e7b]

OKAY TBH EVEN UR FIRST ONE IS AMAZING

[@TheLegoAnimator863]

I can see this helping beginners to the stop motion animation community ( like me ! )

[@JDI_4]

how do i make a character jump?

[@SkibidiGreenScreen]

You’ll have to use Lego bricks and edit them out after

[@JDI_4]

@@SkibidiGreenScreen how do i keep my background if i do the editing?

[@SkibidiGreenScreen]

@@JDI_4 in pretty sure you take all of the characters off but keep the baseplate is the exact same place and take a picture and when you edit the blocks out the background will be underneath if you need help you can search on KZbin and I think there’s easier methods, hope that helps

[@TheMooseHoose]

​@@SkibidiGreenScreenanswer his question please

[@TheMooseHoose]

I need to know too

[@BrickDynamics]

These tips will really help with our Lego Stopmotion, thank you 🙏

[@timtom276]

Wow dude thanks i hope it will help me much in my animations

[@monkey-scout]

What is a good sturdy animation desk that you would recommend?

[@AntBandit]

The one I use is actually an industrial packing table made by Uline. It's extremely heavy, has metal shelves and costs around $350. I splurged to get a nice table for animation, but you can definitely use any sturdy table/desk. You can even wedge some weights or sandbags against table legs to make sure tables won't move or slide. I have seen some animators use strong tape to fasten table legs to floors as well. Professional animation tables are usually built from wood and have cross beams underneath to keep it from wobbling.

[@SummerEastell]

this is a cool video

Thanks a lot!! I've been struggling with walk cycles but you really helped !! Please do make tutorials on fight scenes...yours are really great

[@bryankwong-6091]

For my first attempt on an animation, it wasn't that bad, I struggled to keep the camera still because a few times when I tap the picture button, it moved a little bit so it's not perfect but I think I can fix that. So I will try it again and try to fix the camera movements. But thanks for helping me get started, that's really helpful.
