LEGO Titanic: Stop Motion film

This LEGO stop motion movie directed by Henry Hagens, depicts the sinking of the R.M.S Titanic in 1912. It uses both the larger scale LEGO set Titanic model, as well as scenes on the scale of minifigures. Since its release, the film has won awards at three festivals and received numerous nominations. It follows the true events, only taking small creative liberties on the scale of those in the movie "Titanic", due to issues with the medium. As this film exists in the context of lego people, it is by nature not as serious as other representations of the disaster, but it does not seek to make light of the tragic story.
I would like to thank my design teachers, as well as Matt Watts, for giving me much of the technical knowledge required to conduct various aspects of production.
Credit goes largely to Envato Elements, Larysa Campbell, and Simon Hagens, for the various vocal effects in this film. Promotional assets were created by Mae Lai.
Other types of effects have been sourced from Envato Elements and the KZbin audio library.

Wow. The attention to detail is awesome. Love that you included the baker drinking throughout the time it took for the ship to sink. This was still very emotional, knowing those were real people who went down with the ship. ❤🙏🏻😓

12:20 The chief baker Charles Joughin, despite of swimming in the cold water for at least two hours, really survived and got on board the rescuing Carpathia, because he had drunk so much alcohol that he did not feel the cold, as he told later. Amazing story. He was the only person to survive despite not having a place in or on a lifeboat. He is also portrayed in James Cameron's movie, namely the guy at the stern railing next to Jack and Rose when the ship finally sinks, still drinking from a pocket bottle.

[@legoman844]

Ya! His story is my favourite out of Titanic's survivors, so I wanted to give him a special place in the video. I'm happy that someone noticed.

[@goldfing5898]

@@legoman844 I just recently read his story, since I have been strongly interested in Titanic since the last year, inspired by the "Titanic: Honor and Glory" videos on KZbin. When watching James Cameron's movie, I had always wondered what happened to this guy at the stern railing with his pocket bottle. He looked so human and sympathetic and I am glad that he survived. Unfortunately, this does not become clear in the movie. I also read that he had saved children before the sinking by putting them into lifeboats resolutely, even when they didn't want to.

[@fallingcrane1986]

Joughin was truly one of the most enigmatic people that ever walked this earth. He drank so much that he cheated death at the last moment, even if his memories were the only casualty. (Joughin was known to change his story depending on who he told it to-a popular KZbin series visualizing Titanic survivor testimony, “Titanic: What They Saw,” showed two testimonies from Joughin, and noted in the comments that he changed his story several times!)

[@daveautzen9089]

I’m so glad you included him.

[@TrippingHawk]

he also refuted the "suction from the ship sinking" bit in the movie. in reality there was no suction when the ship finally went under, he was able to quite literally ride the ship down and step off without issue just before the last of it went under.

[@BrydenVale]

I used to watch the old Lego titanic stop motions as a teen, and seeing this now, with an actual titanic set as the model and updated lego sets as film dressing and setting, it's just brilliant 10/10

Fun fact: this version is actually the one that James Cameron and Paramount spent a billion dollars on. James thought legos with their pencil drawn expressions would better exemplify the terror of those on board. Unfortunately at the last moment studio execs swapped Kate Winslet in for Lego girl#1 and we wound up with the other version. Ug.

Good video, although not accurate to what really happened. Most of the events during the sinking seems to be taken from the 1997 film. Reversing the engines, Smith going down in the wheel house, Thomas Andrews in the smoke room etc. If you want to an idea of what really happened, you can check out Part Time Explorer’s real time sinking video, or check out the book Titanic On A Sea Of Glass. Hopefully that will help you in understanding the events of the sinking. I just think it’s important to keep things up to date. The rest was really good, the animations, the models, and the emotions all spot on. I also love how you used the actual lego model for the video. Really the events are the only thing I see out of place but that’s ok, not everyone knows the story.

[@legoman844]

Thanks. Most of the things I changed were to reflect the iconography of the film Titanic, such as Smith's death and the speed of sinking, although the engines were definately reversed. Many of the books and other sources I've seen mention its importance in not being able to turn fast enough.
