Getting Started In Stop Motion Animation With Brotherhood Workshop

[@johnsanimations1952]

every time after i see one of your videos, i get really excited all of a sudden about making a stop motion video.

[@JeeStudioXD]

Brotherhood workshop is the best of the best!

[@TheBohrokMan]

As some one who does stop motion animation, I can say that all of these tips are fantastic.

[@420Mouse]

Thank you for this video! I have been struggling with getting timing just right and I never thought to just mimic scenes from a movie that I like.

[@brianjamesdaley6434]

Excellent Tutorial!! I have been dabbling in stop-motion since my early days with Super-8 Sound Film. This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on the subject! I have subscribed.

[@sjb49]

Counting the number of frames in a live action shot of even a subtle change of movement to determine how many frames should be shot, one shot for each movement, to achieve the same effect in the Lego character, as you illustrated in the video is just one of the features that impressed me. I literally stumbled onto this video by chance; I'm a hobbyist in both photo- and videography, have been for years, but in truth never have seriously considered doing stop motion, though I enjoy occasionally making time-lapse videos (the old-fashioned way; when I shot the TSE in August 2017, I had 1,810 photos/frames to work with). I liked your video very much! One thing I would like to ask, though; how do you make the Lego figures jump like that in the various fight scenes, doing front & back flips, etc? I'm thinking about the mid-air part of the jump. Since you have to slowly shoot a series of frames, it would seem to me that at some point the figure would have to defy gravity for several or more shots in order to show the whole movement, especially as smoothly as I saw it executed. I salute you as an artist in your field.

[@BrettHoustonTube]

Awesome work. I never knew about this lego thing. What a brilliant idea.

[@allisonbruns4251]

Can you do a behind the scenes of the battle of helms deep

[@blitzcrieg101]

That is his best one ever. In fact, that's the best Helms Deep I've ever seen!

[@blitzcrieg101]

That's his best one. In fact, it's the best Helms Deep I ever saw!

[@allisonbruns4251]

I agree, you should do a behind the scenes video of the battle of helms deep.

[@osoloc6472]

Right like uhhhhhhhhhhh

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

This is great considering Brotherhood workshop makes arguably the best Lego stop motion on the internet .

[@micahhermiller]

Which works better? A green screen or a blue screen? Where could I get a good one? I like to use 15/16 frames per second.

[@ToxicMangoFilms]

depends on your set colors honestly any color works fine as long as it does not interfere with your set design, personally i use blue screen quite offent but sometimes it depends on software

[@micahhermiller]

I know. The only reason I asked was because I've used both, but I have a really bad green screen/blue screen software and wondered which one might look a little better. Hopefully I'll be getting FinalCutPro sometime soon, so then the green screen effects will turn out better. Thanks for the advice!

[@legospeedguy2484]

they're the same. if you have green in the scene, use blue. if you have blue in the scene, use green. i have used a bright pink screen. works really well....why? because i have nothing pink in my shot so it's great

[@CorecrafterChanel]

i would use 24.

[@Oscar-ig6zl]

Wow amazing help, the is me starting out and hope to get better thank you. This was a great source to better stopmotion.

[@richardfairbourn5108]

I really needed this, thank you so much!

[@drfuntime5003]

Thanks, you and Forrestfire101 is my number 1stopmotion director. Thanks for the tip.

[@sheepmode3432]

Thanks! I needed this to encourage me to try my Jurassic world stop motion again!

[@ondradosedel]

This really helped! Thanks!

[@timmotje1993]

Where do you buy your Lego???

[@voronOsphere]

Thanks!!! Great channel & video! I'm now subbed!

[@marktimothy2039]

Thanks for all the tips and tricks its really inspiring

[@joshfast2639]

That was extremely helpful and encouraging thank you so much

[@AgentAxelman]

Great stuff! Do you shoot on 2's or 1's at 24fps?

[@Sean_makes_stuffs]

thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!!!

[@legobuilderfrom2000]

great video , i love brother hood work shop!!

[@Tomsuth]

Such an amazing video.. thank you so much

[@BenoitAWAKO]

this is just perfect

[@hishamhaurari]

Hmm...Digital juice. By the way , brotherhood workshop is right about the tips

[@PetitIdiot]

Amazing!, thanks you very very very much Zack!

[@alaskanmooseproductions669]

Did u say 12 for starters because I'm using 7-9 fps in my vids

[@egg7212]

Yes 12-15.

[@TheStopMotionDude1]

I shall see if these tips work for me.

[@robotgumballs6470]

Can u do a video about ur tripod because i want to see how it is set up

[@lrstudios8144]

Also how do you come up with your ideas go brickfilms

[@lrstudios8144]

How do you do your bow and arrows in a shot

[@DaveNJoePro]

Very cool! This deserves more views!

[@guylego5706]

I use stop motion studio pro for my phone

[@ncpstudios]

Same!

[@isaiahdixon3261]

show some behind the scenes

[@ethanwinstead6280]

He does on his channel

[@ollietipper]

Hello I started this recently so I was wondering if I was to use a green screen or blue screen what app/website do you use to accomplish this ;)

[@nexoknights4915]

+Shotblaster777 He uses After Effects for Green Screen (It costs 20$/month) If you want a free program you can use Imovie on a macbook or you can search for other free programs

[@FuryFilmsRAMC]

I’ve only been doing stop motion for about two to three years and I’m up to 20, 24, and 30 fps.

[@BMXdriverful]

really cool!:)

[@legospeedguy2484]

great video. I use green screen as a norm, but that's my style. I guess it depends on if you're good at it, as you said. I've been in film for 20 years but it's natural for me.

[@sebastian_dohnal]

really cool :)

[@shwabbaa]

Which canon camera do you use for your animations?

[@egg7212]

Just to let you know this is an old video and he has recently updated to a Canon 60D.

[@darkholddoom3275]

how do u make realtime shots? How do u setup that? I have the Canon EOS 1100D

[@ShittinBulletz]

+SaghyEGNL Hey dude could you check out my stop motions and I'll sub you 2

[@invertedstudios8449]

how will I know if I'm going 12 frames per second?

[@itsMelonPVP]

you select 12fps? obvious.

[@invertedstudios8449]

thanks man

[@brotherhoodfilms50]

Are ours good Just started

[@ThomNelson22]

Usually when I take out scenes the scene doesn't usually look great

[@joshpeterson7187]

This helps. Thanks.

[@cdavis4111]

where could you get the brown clay?

[@johnsanimations1952]

go to stopmotionstore.com and they have clay there, not sure if its brown or not, or go to hobby lobby, target, walmart, clay store, or just buy it off internet.

[@egg7212]

It's Van Aken clay.

[@MrFreeman516]

very helpful and well said :)

Working with legos is easy.... right?

What green screen do u use

[@mandaloriancrusader3746]

+ozayevable Where can I get it?

[@mandaloriancrusader3746]

thanks

[@greensheepfilms2207]

I use 30 fps

Same!

[@alexcarrera102]

I use 12fps :D

[@SeyhanK17]

İn my bhirtday!!!!

[@dashstudios6523]

Does Anyone think videos are good if not give me tips how to get better?

[@agent_soshi]

I would recommend starting with Mega Bloks , it's Cheaper and the figures have better articulation

[@gemoanimations6692]

Pause at 1:49

Looks like an Asian James Franco

[@homemadestudios99x]

Good advice, I do stop motion animation as well, using 1/6 scale figures. I am not at great as others but I do try. Please check my stuff out if you you don't mind also please feel free to leave a comment or advice. Thanks!

[@Kolacheater]

Thanks! Check out my own stop motions !

[@Richard-ut2nu]

4:18 not true

[@stevegeorge7773]

Copying other filmmakers films is not original. Perhaps he should come up with this own story and build the models from scratch.

[@masonfirman5210]

I think he means he shouldn't base his short films on other films e.g. he based his Harry Potter short films of Harry Potter. I don't agree with him.

[@MrRhovanion]

thought it would be a little simpler...crap, im not smart...

[@ZCFilms]

Man I need to stop being so lazy...

[@DJDawsonFilms]

You must be made of money. It costs thousands of dollars to buy all of that, unless you borrowed it?

[@egg7212]

[@egg7212]

Everybody has had a time were there stop motions sucked it just takes a lot of practice.
