Great first episode, looking forward to the rest of the tutorial series. One thing to note for new animators and those who are looking to get into brickfilming. These are tips and tricks to help you create the optimal conditions/environment to animate in, not a checklist of "you need all of these things before you can start". If you have a carpeted floor in your studio, then you can still animate! If you accidentally leave your overhead room light on while animating, that doesn't mean your shot is ruined! But if your end result has some problems like shaky camera or light flicker, those factors may have contributed to it. As you get more into brickfilming, these are things you can gradually upgrade and improve upon.

Exactly! The entirety of The Cleaners was animated in a studio with carpet. It was a challenge, but we managed it with a combination of using an articulated camera arm, a weighed down tripod, and carefully avoiding stepping near the tripod feet.

I remember watching Nathan's original tutorial series when I was first getting serious about brickfilming, nice to see a new, more current, one. :)

I'm so glad lego joker dies made it into the little film reel intro truly a classic for the ages

Great video Nathan! I would add, however, that the best baseplate fastener hands down is rubber sheets. There’s many different kinds, but it provides an extremely stable and perfectly level work space without having to deal with any adhesive or sticky substance. Plus it’s a one time purchase.

Heyyyy this was really neat! I just got around to watching this, but I think this series is going to be very helpful, I'm really looking forward to them!

[@xyoxus]

Was there ever a Part 2? Because the playlist only has this video in it.

[@BricksinMotion]

No Part 2 just yet, but we still have plans for more!
