The Cleaners - LEGO Animation

[@Keshen8]

Even better on a second viewing. So many innovative techniques scattered throughout including in the set design. This is next level brick filming.

[@gabrielcleveland2002]

Keshen8 I think what made it so good was the excellent cinematography and lighting; two major factors into making a professional film. The story was great too.

[@K-daz]

I'd let you film my brick anyday

[@eugene_kono]

Well, you are the one of the greatest creators of lego movies Keshen..

[@afiqakmalfilm]

Keshen what FPS do you use? And what programme do you use to make your animation become smoother and did your work similar like how mind game studios does?

[@jonathansmith8672]

Wow! This is really good! It reminds me of Pulp Fiction.

[@sillypenta]

This is one of the few brickfilms where you can forget you are watching LEGO. Every aspect is masterfully executed.

I swear to god, i wish you guys could just get a gigant budget and a big crew of brickfilm animators just to make this a full on film, even if it was just 1 hour long, it would be simply amazing

Excellent work guys. Every frame was so excellent, with tremendous use of lighting. The recreation of the eye shot from Psycho. The part where he puts the money in his jacket. The large scale remote. Everything was so good.

Please, for the love of god, PLEASE make a sequel! This was so great, and it looked like a set up for an entire series.

Masterpiece

[@SpeakBroccoli]

The attention to detail in this is mind-blowing. On first viewing I didn't notice cause I was just so caught up in the story and the characters which were top class by the way. But on my second pass, wow, it's the little things, like how his pocket bulges when he puts the money in...truly you are a world class animator.

[@ProductionbySaint]

Literally one of the best Lego animations I have ever seen, wow!

[@MrVertigoStudios]

Ever since you announced a release date for The Cleaners, I've been excited all week, and you certainly delivered. Everything--the set design, cinematography (split diopter shots!), editing, sound design, buttery smooth animation, lighting--feels pitch-perfect, and you've really managed to nail the grungy 70s feel. This was a pure joy to watch, and I know I'll find myself re-watching this multiple times to catch every detail and nuance.

[@MikroAnimations]

Man, I've been making brickfilms for 10 years and it's still completely beyond me how you guys animate to this insane caliber. Great job.

[@TheJumiFilm]

Lost count on how many times I've watched this now

[@Falloutchannel101]

This is amazing I would like a sequel because it feels like it needs a sequel but overall it's amazing

[@cwmaib]

Saw this a few months ago, and it is still my favorite LEGO animation to this day, and I am holding out hope for a sequel.

[@thebrandonkm]

Brilliant! While it can sometimes be really entertaining when a brickfilm is aware that it's a brickfilm, seeing the medium treated just like a regular live-action movie is really refreshing. Having true eye level and intimate camera placement is something missing from so many other stop motion movies, and I'm sure super challenging to pull off. Huge props!!​

[@arielflores6549]

Everything about this is amazing The lighting The music The dialogue Best stop motion i have ever scene

[@themoosefigs3331]

You had me at Steely Dan.

[@SilverCyborgSliver]

Holy shit, that is amazing. I did not think there would be anyone else on the level of keshen8 and forrestfire101, but here we are. You are incredibly talented, man!

[@DKFilms]

[@pajammy99]

One of my personal favourite brickfilms of all time, everything about it is incredible.

[@merijnheuvelmans6287]

Not only the animation is one of the best i’ve ever seen but the whole esthetic, setting, music and sound design is near perfect!

[@jmstudios3049]

ok but this has to be the only brickfilm with a fricking SPLIT DIOPTER SHOT

[@TherealBrendanHayesFilmMaker]

Saw a comment on here that read "You forget you're watching lego" and that thought struck me as I was watching so I'm obviously not the only one. This was so much fun. Well done guys on an excellent piece of work 👏

[@enunezfilms]

This feels like a straight up movie, masterfully planned. Amazing!

[@brickmasterstudio9962]

As humble as Zach and Nathan are about it, this is the best brickfilm of all time.

[@arthurmorgan8560]

2 years later and I'ma say that we need a sequel

[@MindGameStudios]

Arthur Morgan I couldn’t agree more.

[@OrbitalLizardStudios]

It's still mind-blowing how good this is. I think it somehow has the amazing quality of something from a big animation studio, but it still has the charm of a passion project, if that makes sense.

[@Jouche123]

Wow this was absolutely amazing. There was so many cool techniques like when he placed the money in his jacket or with the remote. I would love to see another one and hope there will be a sequel.

[@airlampstudios761]

This is one of my favorite stop motions, the music fits in so well, this animation is short and sweet.

[@BrickTaleStudios]

Absolutely gorgeous set design and lighting! You guys really nailed the dumpy 70's California motel look! And of course, beautiful animation as usual!

[@1_Jose_Vent]

This deserves an Oscar

[@WorldofShrimpy]

I have made many stop-motions and seen hundreds on KZbin, but this masterpiece is by far the BEST! Every shot is carefully crafted, framed, animated and edited. Words cannot describe how amazing this is!!!!!

[@bblanimation]

A few details that stood out to me: pulling the cord across the ground was well animated and a brilliant character reveal, the apartment complex set design was spot on (reminded me of the Florida Project), and I think the biggest highlight for me was the animation as the character tucks money in his coat pocket.

[@SplitterShot]

Stunning film with a well crafted script and visuals! Love these quick Edgar Wright cuts when they leave the building btw.. Also the opening scene was extremely nicely done. Top-notch work :D

[@yoshientertainment5022]

This is absolutely phenomenal on every level. The most impressive brickfilm I’ve seen probably.

[@LiamLegoStudios]

This looks so professional! The camerawork was spectacular, lighting was very beautifully done, and the animation looks extremely realistic! I liked how the clock had moving hands. Also, the way you used pieces was very clever. The use of a ring as an ash tray, or the clear heads for lamps- Great job guys!

[@saturdazedreviews3591]

If brickfilms had an awards season you definitely would deserve to win best Cinematography. In fact this is some of the best cinematography in a brickfilm I've ever seen period. Really great work! :)

[@AddMoreQuarters]

Beautifully done. I suspect a heavy Tarantino influence and loved your choice of Pink Floyd at the end. Great cinematics. I like stories with talking only where it needs to be, just like it is, and giving the actions a chance to move the story forward on its own merit in-between.

[@themoosefigs3331]
