This is exactly what i've been looking for. Im currently working on a stop motion film and had no idea how to animate water. Thank you!

[@TwinBricks]

Great to hear!

[@CrazyStoneTiger]

Me too!

[@jiffyjelly1]

When I saw you used slime for water in the animation, I had a great big smile from how unique and great it looked. Thankful you made a tutorial!

[@B.W.Bricks_productions]

this is by far the best way to animate water in brickfilms. Truly impressive how the divots look.

[@TwinBricks]

Thank you!

[@phoenixstopmotions]

This is a fantastic and unique tutorial. Very inventive and the results are amazing!

[@VALMOX]

@@TwinBricks eyy welcome my man!

[@Redbrickstudiochannel]

Very interresting tip to make water for stop-motion animation! If I will do another brickfilm on the sea, I think I will try to make a slime like you made here :D

[@VALMOX]

Yeah, that’s nice job

[@CST_Films]

That’s very nice! Slime was a great idea

[@TwinBricks]

Thanks!

[@VALMOX]

That's awesome!

[@LiminalQueenMedia]

I really appreciate this

[@il13esimoprime91]

Great video.

[@legocity6898]

cool

[@FrogiaStopMotion]

Thank you❤❤❤

[@DaneSchmidt-ko7fs]

Any chance for a tutorial for the mini ships, they look amazing!

[@ositotequieromaincraft93]

good vidio

[@chirbychoo]

Do you know how to do bigger waves ? Also this is a great tutorial

[@TwinBricks]

For bigger waves, I would suggest using more slime and possibly adding more borax to your slime to have it become thicker.

[@AnotherSpectrum]

Can you do stop motion title waves?❤

[@West_Coast_Mainline]

Wait a minute Could a lego ship theoretically sink in this stuff?

[@kinobrick5171]

Man. You're genius❗ I thought that it was computer graphic😅

[@BrixFilms]

at first I thought the same lol but then I figured out.

[@mrjacob1000]

What what do you do for rapid water effects you know stuff for like waterfalls or raging water when it's in that like whitish foamy state when it's rapidly running

[@TwinBricks]

We haven't tried doing anything like that just yet, unfortunately. Maybe in the future!

[@GabrielStudiooss]

Hello.I have a question how do i make a water scene in the water because i want to make an Aqumen scene

[@lucleger]

Hi I just saw your tutorial. cool! But im wondering what kind of glue did you use. what did you take?

[@TwinBricks]

We used generic clear glue but you can use any brand that is clear

[@xavierproductions2447]

I wanted to use this technique but I have a question. Would the slime damage action figures? I wanted to film fight scenes with the figures submerged

[@TwinBricks]

The slime does get messy but after it dries it peels right off of the plastic Lego.

[@xavierproductions2447]

I also wanted to use it for a TMNT film lol

[@yairlimonrodriguez16]

Could you please make a video on the clay you use?

[@TwinBricks]

Sure maybe in the future!

[@yvonne.martins]

Cómo haces ese efecto de las olas?

[@legostopmotion888]

[@TwinBricks]

We experimented with a few ideas and decided to try using slime.

[@RafaelGonzalez-]

[@notreallydavid]

[@willwaggenspack6411]
