Making LEGO Ghosts: Behind the Scenes

[@NerdmaidFaith]

I loved the sneaky Vitruvuis in there!

[@willdebause5418]

I love how it is almost the Same with working in real life vfx. Amazing work can not wait to see more.

[@hoserlu]

I love the behind the scenes features almost as much as the actual productions. They're both inspirational and discouraging because it's so intricate. But keep doing these!

[@HarryAndBillyBrick]

The wide shots of your last video were fabulous!

[@PowerChordEPS]

I did one shot in Photoshop with Ghost Vitruvius meeting the Ghostbusters, and I used a similar technique for his glow, but I also added another layer of color which I used the color dodge blending mode on to add more ethereal elements to him. Great video as always. Amazing how simple but effective these effects really are.

[@ethanness2040]

Great work! You are by far the best Brickfilmer when it comes to epic shots and composting

[@LukeWarmStudios]

Awesome job Kevin!

[@BlackbladeYT]

You are truly a wizard with this.

[@SamuelJBurt]

could you please make a video on compositing step by step

[@Akary999]

Even with your simplified tutorial it still looked like it took a lot of work good job.

[@captainkirk1001]

just noticed ghost vitruvius 😂

[@animateangus]

Amazing work. I do stop motion, only with armatured puppets, but I find these behind the scenes videos very helpful! Keep up the good work!

[@mosstown]

The shots in this video were very impressive!

[@cutlerrox06]

These videos are amazing, how did you get so good at after effects?

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

Fioresi Films Lots of practice, and I have a lot more to learn.

[@cutlerrox06]

BrotherhoodWorkshop Keep working at it, your videos are great and better each time

[@brickprimetime]

Fioresi I see you everywhere!

[@cutlerrox06]

[@brickprimetime]

Fioresi Films lol

[@chino1moreno]

[@carterallen6774]

Your animations are the best Mr. Ulrich!! I just ordered my first animation kit yesterday. You inspired me to get started in stop motion thank you for awesome videos!!! :)

[@carterallen6774]

Do you have any tips for me? :)

[@carterallen6774]

: ( yeah I didn't really expect him to reply anyway

[@BensterStudios]

Fancy Walrus Productions what kit did you order?

[@carterallen6774]

It's called hue animation studio. It's not really the best one out there. But it has pretty much everything you need. You should just check out the website:)

[@BensterStudios]

Ok cool. I use AnimatorHD it works pretty well for me. I'm currently working on a Captain America video you should subscribe if you wanna see it. :)

[@nika4830]

Your stop motion is so amazing

[@maxjones503]

lol i like how you put the ghost of virtuous in there with the ghost army! i wish i had that good software.

[@sebastian_dohnal]

...just...perfect... :)

[@stopframestudios9443]

That was just amazing man wow you inspire a lot of people

[@SuperShah201]

[@sabinagasanova5859]

Awesome work! I amased!

[@myah9767]

I just love this channel

[@kevinMcFree]

i just learned most of sony vegas... not sure i can do it again with after effects lol, but it does seem a much more superior piece of software. thanks for sharing this video :)

[@MossyStudios]

How do you keep the light in different images from changing? I have a new camera and I want to keep the light constant.

[@NeilNileStudios]

use web cam settings app and select manual option for the exposure mode

[@DenDanskeKat.9356]

You only use artificial light, so no sun light

[@roblee4395]

Hollywood, *please* hire this guy for that upcoming Ghostbusters 3 movie!!! XD

[@1butterwarrior]

Awesome vid I wanna do brick films myself but I don't know the right equipment or how to mask out my hand in a shot could you do a vid explaining how we can make our own with only basic equipment?

[@Leshka147]

I love your collaborations with HISHE, and then there's a bonus Behind the Scenes? :)

[@thebricksfamily]

Excellent!!

[@dgaproductions9292]

Can you do a more in-depth tutorial on compositing and creating a large scale shot?

[@micahdunwoody6555]

Well its about time you used the Corsair ship set.

[@bigrickmachine]

You should do more Harry Potter :)

[@vladick2088]

dude, u really cool in Lego animation…why u don’t do ur Lego fantasy?

[@cassyj3001]

Brotherhood workshop did you ever use iMovie and can you make a longer video?

[@Kerloft]

Great! How many FPS do you use?

[@thebest5451]

I've noticed that you mainly mask around your objects when working in AE, which can be really bothering since you have to do it manually for every frame. Why don't you use rotobrush? It is a lot more handy, since the mask you apply tries to stick to the selected object. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!!

[@MNsLegoChannel]

(coughs in DaVinci Resolve Mask Tracking)

[@TriassicIceman]

Superb! Thank you Sir may we have another?

[@Crimson_Snake1]

Hmmm. I might try this for my movie of Disney’s Haunted Mansion.

[@thunderdm]

What is your editing software and how much does it cost

[@Kedanjt42]

Something that has worked with we for a ghost effect is using a green or blue light on the original shot

[@egg7212]

He did that with a ghost Unikitty once.

[@radioactiveenderduck2818]

Where do you get your printed backdrops?

[@legomigginy4054]

This is brilliant!!!your the best at making brickfilms!! what software should i use for putting frames together

[@hudsonrailey9695]

Baskin robins always finds out.

[@miagua8640]

Lemme summarize this down for anyone that doesn’t understand, he slapped a blue screen down and then slapped the ghosts on

[@billbarxley2256]

Wow crazy, how long did it take

[@brickmanpictures6069]

You’re amazing!

[@smoothie_gamer]

What would thing would be good for me to get to start off

[@MegaBlackhawk12]

You rotoscope? Man, that's dedication.

[@The7Sris]

How did you make those Oliphaunts?

[@ilooklikeatoe6596]

I'm gonna be honest I don't know what any of this means but damn you're talented. :-)

[@bricklawine9372]

this is nice made

[@philrodfilms]

BrotherhoodWorkshop how do you animate the mouths?

[@JAR369]

Can you tell us why do you add Easter eggs in one of your stop motion videos BrotherhoodWorkshop

[@light.sntchr]

How did you connect the camera to the PC? Wich kable?

[@MotionHandProduction]

[@productions4474]

Can you do a comparison video

[@IsaacTheAnimator]

I have a quick question. What clay do you use and how expensive is it?

[@cassyj3001]

It's Vitruvius

[@legomotionworkshop265]

How did you make such a successful stop motion channel? I just started one.

[@generalgrievous67]

Lego Motion Workshop He started modestly and with time kept improving and improving

[@nikihenschen3830]

When is the new video coming?

[@legominis9754]

Can you please make a longer behind the scenes video over green screen? Your Bts videos are so great, but to choppy for beginners like me

[@ncpstudios]

Cool! l found out how to do this on my iPhone!

[@christopherfarrell4733]

Hey Kevin! I'm 12 and I really really want you to make some Star Wars empire stuff please!

[@kmckaspermoviecorp.2149]

but how is the light effect when the ghosts are being captured created

[@itsdabenji9518]

You should try to make a video with as few special effects and editing as possible as an extra challenge. :)

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

GummyWormApproved Most of my earlier videos had very little VFX, but I've found that when used well, VFX really expands the realm of possibilities.

[@micahdunwoody6555]

Where did you get the oliphaunts?

[@DarkwoodPd]

1:36 on the left lol

[@drip9210]

Lol.

[@neoncookie4748]

How did you learn so much about aftereffects

[@Philrod360]

BrotherhoodWorkshop how do you do your green screen effects? Like what tools do you use?

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

Philrod360 Usually keylight and color key.

[@grandmasteryoda7693]

what does vitruvius do there?

[@barristaflicks8054]

Where did you get gimlis short pants?

[@luisholley5858]

Nice video . just wanna say your my inspiration to do my Lego KZbin channel BrotherhoodWorkshop

[@justGoron]

[@starsandfilm]

I'm Korean. Please understand my poor English. How does a mini-figure that just moves in place move around? Is it impossible with a mobile editor?

[@superdakotagames7748]

Anyone else see Vetruvius come off of the ship with the ghosts.His on the left

[@AaronTylerTv]

How do you build your sets

[@DKFilms]

How do you have this much time to make this video?

[@djmlegofilms2012]

This is his main job.

[@Brick9lego]

Was all this done in dragon frame? sorry if i missed something obvious i do that a lot!

[@egg7212]

He uses DragonFrame for the stop-motion, After Effects for the video editing, and Final Cut Pro 7 for voice editing.

[@navichan502]

what software do yku use, is it better than sony vegas or equal?

[@hassanshahzad5211]

[@dominika8203]

you are the best :D

[@trooperscientists2000]

Could you tell me the name of the program you use there ? Because I also make stop Motion maóvies. thank you for answering =)

[@egg7212]

He uses Dragonframe for the stop motion ($300 dollars but worth the price).

[@lucyhartwell2134]
