Thank you

[@CodeManLEGO]

This is a great tutorial, one of the better ones I've seen for fight animation. I think this will help a lot of people.

Started doing stop motion at 13 in 2014 but stopped for 8 years and finally got the proper tools to do it I just gotta learn.

[@TheLAXGoalie]

You’ll definitely be great at it hope you have fun doing stop motion

[@Boueman13]

I started at the age of 9

[@verticalbricks8833]

Some fantastic tips that a lot of tutorials miss or overlook as it eventually comes naturally but you went really in depth to really help newer people out

[@Netbrix]

thanks man and glad you think so, I really wanted to include everything for people just starting out :)

[@BossKingLegoProductions]

Really great tips! One thing I would recommend to everyone would be to use less blue tac. It can break the illusion of the animation, and my family always pointed it out when they saw it.

[@Netbrix]

thanks man and yeah that's a good point I think it defo looks better if you can hide it

[@BossKingLegoProductions]

@@Netbrix You can it in post but it's tricky and takes bloody ages

[@c4r7s0n]

@@BossKingLegoProductions Yeah, which is why, for now, im not focusing too much on the blue tac's visibility

[@MaxsLEGOStopMotion]

I’ve been practicing fight scenes since the start so I’ve gotten good like you :) It’s great seeing how you do your fight scenes, as they are a different style than mine! Pretty awesome tutorial to, you covered various important aspects

[@Netbrix]

thanks man and yeah this was defo aimed more at people starting out but cool that you found some use out of it too :)

[@c4r7s0n]

Thanks for this! I have already started recently applying a little easing in and out, camera movement, and minifig movement to my fight scenes so i'm now gonna add practical effects too, thanks again!

[@InvictusInvincible]

“We’re so close to 3K” Wow, it’s amazing how much you’ve grown, just a year ago you only had 3K, look at you now!

[@JWProductions9]

Great tutorial man, definitely one of the best I’ve seen. I love how you focus on every single aspect of a fight scene. Great work 👍

[@RapidActionAnimations]

Great tutorial! I definitely think wearing in and out and Camara movements are super important! Good use of clips and different media. I do think LEGO is not as good as mega construx in terms of having the range to animate with. Although that makes it harder but allows for better animation. Nice work

[@Netbrix]

thanks man and yeah I agree I feel like there's a certain charm to Lego Minifigures tho

[@RapidActionAnimations]

@@Netbrix trust me once you switch you’ll never go back

[@ErikTongStudios]

wow really great detailed tutorial, ive been doing fight scenes for a while but even these tips can help me, i usually have been doing hard cuts or just plain camera movements but the soft cut part was really cool cuz i dont usually use them, ive also been wondering about your blood effect cuz normally people will use paint or things that ruin legos and im not into that, so im glad you showed me that, one q tho: is the blood putty sticky or oily?

[@Hobo525]

This tutorial was so helpful! Thank you, I will definitely be using this to help me improve my fight animations.

[@nightcatssketchbook]

Have to do a stop motion project for school. Your videos have really helped. Thanks! Also really cool to see your progress when you showed some of your first fight scenes vs. the newer ones. Nice

[@therandomryanfilms]

In the process of a Lego film. But my next Lego film I want to do something different with two guys fighting. Found your video and it was very helpful. Definitely going to use these tips. Thank you!

[@WhyutDoStuff]

Thanks so much this helped so much with my animations!

[@Gettingbetteratediting]

This one makes your guns look a bit more cool. If you have a black gun let's say an ar. Grab a black hand and attach it so that the minifigure can reach is so basically next to his right hand(of he's holding it in his left hand) this acts and a foregrip and looks pretty cool.

[@commandercodystudios1123]

Thanks so much for this tutorial I will defenetly use the 360 seen. That is so so creative! Thanks!

[@arjunator2688]

Great tutorial man, really helps me improve on my falls, even tho I’m not a beginner, I’ve always wondered how to ease out of a fall

[@studios9954]

[@TheBrickBro]

A tip I have for camera movement: back when I used my phone for shooting brickfilms, instead of having a whole camera stand built up, I'd just put a lil stack of bricks behind the phone and place some sticky tac on the bottom of it. That way you can easily get both little and big moves and the phone doesn't get bumped as easily. And the camera is down a bit lower so it looks more eye-level. So ye, great tutorial my guy!

[@Netbrix]

thank you bro and thanks for sharing might have to try that out :)

[@ErikTongStudios]

yeah thats what i do but it harmed me moving my camera up and down or in an angle so sometimes i'll also use a stand as well

[@TheBrickBro]

@@Netbrix np my man!

[@TheBrickBro]

@@ErikTongStudios yeah I get that. Ig the real tip is to not feel like you have to do the same thing every time lol. You'll have the best results if you get original and creative with it

What kind of clay do you use for moving the LEGO minifigures arms/legs? ATM the I use loctite blue tack. It’s useful, but a little too strong, so I’m looking for something softer like clay for more maneuverable events.

[@IamtheLegoMando]

How do you track the minifigs movement while they're fighting because when I do it, it always looks choppy and not smooth like yours

[@ghulamjilani7726]

Nice net

[@That1Silly]

What fps do you recommend over 8? I’m trying to get into more advanced smooth animating

[@imdoneeee2]

Great tutorial, but a suggestion I have is to make the clay less visible, because sometimes you use a lot and you can see it, which looks not so good. Other than, that, great tutorial! Thanks!
