Yeah, kinda what happens when you have them for a long time

[@OwenMcGuire-ob9qq]

@@screenplay5110 or… It was a part of the great Lego war set back when he was only a mere child. That is his scar from that fateful day, getting cut by the blade of the sword a smidge too hard. Surviving the war was a great accomplishment that that Lego still holds to this day

[@screenplay5110]

[@chrispro6493]

fun fact : when it comes to computer animations a very similar technique is used that involves math functions such as log sin and custom math functions for this purpose such as smoothstep

[@sliporful]

its interpolation, usually using quadratic/cubic functions!

[@sliporful]

easing is also used in computer animation btw

[@WestCooly]

I like turtles 🐢

[@Newtined]

smoothstep sounds like an alternative jazz subgenre

[@optiTHOMAS]

​@@Newtinedindeed! 😅😂😎👌🏻

[@PugGrumbler]

This is just a good animation tip, period

[@kingpatrick1265]

It's just so much more natural

[@ryry_2720]

It’s literally one of the 12 principles of animation

[@thom333s]

As someone who has never and will probably never do Lego animation this was very helpful

[@slamigail]

me watching this while never planning to do stop motion

[@DuzdyAnimates]

Despite making stop-motions for 5 years now, I always watch videos like these. No matter how much I’ve improved, or how much I’ve learned, I’m always open to the possibility that I could learn something new

[@Benitoite0]

One of the amazing 12 principles of animation

[@willynilly18films]

Sometimes though easing out isn’t very helpful, mainly in kicks and punches. Easing into a punch is nice, but when you ease out it looks weaker. So good tip but depends on what you’re trying to accomplish!

[@Friendly_Neighborhood_Dozer]

For more (mostly general animation) advice, Alan Becker's vids on The Basic Principles of animation are pretty good. He shows it in 2D, but the principles don't care about the medium (mostly. There's like 1 or 2 aspects that don't apply in 3D, or at least in 3D computer animation. I don't remember wich that were tho...)

[@limo4586]

I'm a 3D animation student and the teachers always refer to Alan Becker's videos. The only principles that don't apply in 3d are solid drawing and straight ahead animation

[@hermanispetrucena5189]

Man invented acceleration

[@amymorgan886]

this is acutally helpful for my 3d animation

[@nihili4196]

That's pretty obvious trick really. Which is why i love that you shared it, more often than not it's the obvious things that are the hardest to figure out on your own

[@Alexitty17]

This is just animation 101, along with key framing and the other 11 key aspects of animation, such as squash/stretch and appeal

[@yeeterdeleter0117]

Geometry dash has a built-in ease function every time you want to make an object move in a custom level, with different ease types (quadratic, bounce, elastic, back, etc.)

[@ph18.-.]

I was waiting for someone to say this

[@NickAbbgy-oy1lm]

The finger nail 😭

[@dylanrobertson6173]

Glad I’m not the only one

[@tylersynopsiys236]

its to take apart legos lol

[@McCreeIsATree]

What about it

[@CJ-rl4kd]

​@@tylersynopsiys236 I mean okay but at least clean it..

[@gumbitoicic9977]

​Which one are you talking about? Because the thumb looks clean, it's just that nails look that color normally

[@stellanovaluna]

That’s just a principle of animation in general! Awesome that ur educating ppl about this tho! You should make the next generation of Alan Becker animation tutorials lol

[@bosswoman5128]

It makes it look much more realistic in terms of movements, because that’s how things move in real life. One of the biggest tips for animation is to observe how things move in the real world. Move your arm or a door and see how it moves, then animate an object to move in that exact same way.

[@nowonmetube]

Not doing stop motion. No 3D animation. This is actually helpful for my pixel art animations.

[@gagelochard3731]

This just makes sense visually to us because in the real world raising your arm takes effort to overcome gravity but once you get it up to speed it has inertia and therefore takes time to slow down as well.

[@L.Trabjerg]

You can also make the movements each frame much smaller, but increase the speed of the final video, making the movements much smoother

[@Steve_Plasma]

Yessir it’s the acceleration in movement what’s make things alive

[@vbgaming6203]

Ease in ease out is used for all kinds of animation, not just stop motion but also 2D and sometimes 3D animations

[@bloodbonnieking]

Easing is also used in computer animation! Especially in tweening

[@17denby]

This works rlly good and it gives weight to the movement of the figures as well especially if they are holding an object thoguh sometimes people overuse it and looks weird

[@Rempel0]

This is actually helpful thank you

[@sergentti]

When doing big moments like that you can also go over the position you want to go and bring it back some. Add some bounce. 👍

[@pitched7401]

Any organic movement works like this, because it has to start and stop somehow. That's why animation software have bezier keyframe Interpolation as default

[@hideshisface1886]

It is a good general animation tip, not just Lego one. Most of the movement you see in nature does not have constant speed - it carries momentum. In similar fashion, even if you are doing, say 24 frames a second, you don't need actual 24 frames of animation - you may want to skip some frames to improve the sense of speed. This way you fool the viewer's brain to fill in the gaps without making things appear uncanny due to weird fluidity, like in, for example, machine-performed frame interpolation.

[@bluebell560]

I heard the term “ease in” from trying to learn 2d animation, but I never actually knew what it meant until now, thanks!

[@OctagonalSquare]

And remember that regular animation has some big gaps between frames. You don’t have to have micrometer precision and movement on every frame. Just enough to maintain the feeling of movement.

[@batabids]

this is one of the most important things in animation by far but so many ppl don't know it ....

[@pokeprime94]

Genuinely a really helpful tip, thank you so much

[@adamlove592]

I tried stop motion when I was little and again when I was older as a way to keep playing with legos, but they were always super dry. I think this is why, so I'll try again

[@caseyhadder5653]

Thank you that would really help me

[@BobBarnabas]

Simple but useful tip, thanks!

[@jaydenaspillaga5653]

Maybe man is an amazing song I would love to see you make a video with it one day 🔥

[@DamianGalewski]

thanks for the tip, besides, i already know how to smoothen my animations.

[@SPAZHB]

Told me more on how to animate😅 Useful to me for my new animation!

[@BricksAndStuff2]

This makes me want to make stopmotions again. But I dont know how to make sounds and CapCut

[@popdi.s.i.c.sccnnt7221]

think stop motion like animation, squash and stretch just like ease in ease out

[@TGUOliver]

This is also similar to how the animation program Poser works, or at least did years ago.

[@bixrejowski]

Fun fact:the end is a fnf song from the hit mod Mario's madness

[@Greaust]

never seen a coke thumb before

[@Pigsplayterraria]

Fingernail clippers are important

[@omarawad2668]

Cool, but i need to know whats the thing like letting a lego minifigure fly without using hands

[@timtamthemememan5094]

In other words, remember and factor in acceleration

[@ramblinnernd5905]

Nice tip, seriously. However I kind of figured that out myself, I just have no idea how to put it together on Adobe Premiere Pro. Probably just picked the wrong software.

[@supranova565]

Nice music!

[@jujub5557]

Great that will be awsome when i never do lego animations

[@superiordinner7211]

This is a tip for any type of animation if anyone was wondering

THE JESUS LEGOOO!!!

[@JoshuaArrike]

Speaking of animation, was that from The Chosen? Thought the architecture looked familiar

[@markpinke192]

Thia is also one of the 12 principles of animation

[@Makimaki22013]

New vid idea thanks

[@justblue974]

Thanks

[@ThariduVanParys]

My man be using cracked figs for his stopmotions, how many stop motions have you done to where your demonstration fig is even cracked😂

[@GradyFamily2-fd4bo]

Can’t believe that they did this in the Lego movie, how’d they animate all that water?

[@Purplesnowie-mf7gl]

I’ve never done stop motion, but honestly that’s pretty cool. I had to rewatch though because I literally went, “is that Jesus?” And I then went on a side quest to discover that the minding is, in fact, Jesus. Cool channel, definitely watching more videos!

[@radicalvibe2827]

Commenting to stay in the algorithm

[@Cj_playz098]

Love that lego jesus❤

[@KingChronic710]

Your Legos look like you remake the 10 commandments for Fun

[@kib.m]

i do ease out ease in (capcut 🔛🔝)

[@flightmaster529]

Ooorr, add more frames/pictures. The more the better the effect is. With a cost of longer production time.

[@themattemonarch]

It definitely looks a lot more organic

[@Miss_TiredAnimationFan]

Cool!

[@TimelessRedX]

Geometry dash players already know about this.

[@MilánLènárt]

Bro your nails are the sise of my front door

[@mjf2450]

Does this technique work with kicks too

[@clerklyant2983]

if you are animating kicks and punches, I'd recommend only easing in and not easing out since the character is trying to put as much force into the motion as possible

[@knepperstudios1024]

The only bad part of Lego stop motion is deleting all the photos when you are done. 😂

[@Dragon-Phoenix-Along]

Wait, isn’t this an animation thing? Like drawn? Blurs?

[@somerandommen]

Literally just the concept of keyframes lol

[@lexmolasko]

You said part 4 but the title says part 5

[@chewbacca7690]

Making the bible in lego is so awesome

This isn't even lego stop motion tips at this point. This is just "Animation Fundamentals" Good video though, This is important to know.

[@d0notdisturb.]

the coke nail tho😭

[@Mr.TrollingTime]

is this part 5 or 4?

[@potato9998]

Bruh this isn’t only useful for stop motion literally everything that is animated has used slow ins and outs before 😭

[@4bigguys1234]

Good tip but HOLY FINGERNAILS BRO

Why brand it as specifically a brickfilm tip? This is universal for all animation.

The movement 💀

[@FruitKocktail]

Yep, this is part of the basic rules of animation

[@RealityButWorse]

These are just the core rules of animation, lol

[@RealityButWorse]

This is just a core rule of animation* It’s called easing, less formally.

Instructions unclear got lost in time

[@kaokenking3887]

Invest in some fingernail clippers gawdayum

[@Sm0lPerson]

Do yourself a favour, good the 12 animation principles. Youll thank me later. As a student of the art this has been drilled into me. Youll use all of it.

[@wingsoffury9339]

That is pretty cool but is that a fricking lego mini figure jesus christ??

[@ZapStrideGaming]

First one looks better though. Second one looks too fast

[@TheTrueUlfhednar]

Ah, kinda like smear frames in more traditional animation.
