Set Design (On a Budget) 101

[@jdiddy_productions]

I’ve also found that having an animated animal, like a rat in an alley, or swaying leaves of a tree also really helps bringing the set to life. I’m sure there are many animators out there that already know this, but it’s just something to keep in mind especially for those starting out.

*Tip* : go to flea markets yard sales or look in social media to find huge boxes of lego for 5-100 bucks. I actually did this and my parts expanded and so did people that I can add in city shots. I d recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have much useful pieces like I did!

I was a skeptic about using bricklink because of how randomly I found it. But this sells it for me

[@TheBricksOfficial]

Edbound is THE master builder

[@korvexus9922]

thanks for the tips, I use your skyscraper tip in almost every brickfilm

[@mr_h831]

"Your settings have to make sense." "I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU PEOPLE DOING ANY WEIRD STUFF! LIKE PUTTING A DX RACER IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST!" On the contrary, the setting only has to make sense within the world you establish. For instance; inception. Weird shit happens all the time in that film. Because it has to do with the connection between dreams and reality. Take this setting, and make it a brick film. A dxracer in the middle of the forrest, suddenly fits. Depends on the context my dude. :D Edit: i paused to comment this. Pretty much anything can indeed work anywhere. Provided the right context. xD

[@Nick-ri9dr]

Who knew he could edit so well

[@samsucksatdrawing9464]

Thanks for showing me brick link, I’m always spending a lot of money on sets to just get the parts or mini figs now I can save so much more by using this

[@mr_h831]

Something interesting i learned from another lego animator, is that you can use greenscreen to edit in more buildings, if you take pictures of the same building, at different angles. In the long run, he says it saved him quite the amount. But it does require a tad bit more, editing skills I'd say. I haven't watched the video yet so idk if you mention this at all, but i thought mentioning it in my comment would be neat. :D

[@Edbound]

This is actually something me and a couple friends are looking into, though instead of using real lego bricks we were thinking of rendering buildings using on of those 3D Lego building programs, and then incorporating that into backgrounds and stop motion shots. Hopefully we can figure out how to do it seamlessly and accessibly

[@mr_h831]

@@Edbound well it sounds like it might work theoretically! Good luck dude! You make some good animations already, so anything to improve them is good. :D

[@Blandeer]

Hey Edbound, great video! A lot of helpful advice in this video given by the guy who does it himself! Also fantastic editing. Often goes underappreciated but I appreciate it !

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Hey, just a tip, for the sanctum Santorum, you should remove the distinct window and replace it with maybe either a Tie fighter window or a plain one of that piece

See these are the types of videos that make me wanna try some filmmaking stuff. Just because it sounds like fun.

[@Ramenboi99]

Do you think it's possible to put LED's in the skinny skyscrapers, like yellow square studs attach to them and somehow have the LED's under the studs? And if so would it look good?

[@Edbound]

Some of the brickstuff LEDs are so small that they actually DO fit in between studs - it's how the streetlamps in this video are lit. If you hide the wiring behind the bricks, and if the background is far enough out of focus and attention, I think it could be a pretty convincing look. Definitely gonna try it out myself, since it is 100% possible
