The Sniper Situation [SM] | Lego TF2

Red Soldier and the gang infiltrate Blu base in order to find out the secrets of whatever they’re hiding. Little do they know, Blu has sent one of their strongest mercenaries to deal with these panicking pillaging perpetrators. Can Red team successfully get past the dedicated defensive deadeye, or will they fall to the hands of Blu’s overwhelming observant opponent?
Well after 3 entire months, I finally did something. Woohoo!
I really apologise for the very long wait, I didn’t expect for the vid to take this long. School was kinda crazy with the amount of exams and other work this term
Another thing I apologise for are most of the scenes at the beginning. You can see that most of them look fuzzy and not properly in focus. I later learnt while animating that this was because the light had to be brighter in order for the camera to focus properly. I know it sounds strange, but that’s the reason
Also, I do realise that in some scenes you can see outside the set, but I was too lazy to extend the walls up. Hey, maybe the base isn’t indoors, perhaps it’s a trench which would explain why you can see the “sky”. But Idk, you can interpret it how you want
Y’know what’s funny? I started this project last school holidays, the first school holidays of the year, and now I’ve finished it on the first day of the second school holidays. So this thing basically took me an entire term to complete

Thank you to ‪@okstopmotion5041‬ for allowing me to use his Heavy and minigun designs, and to ‪@imrickjamesbricks‬‘s online Lego store for Soldier’s helmet. Btw his helmet is the M1 Steel Pot Helmet (Gunmetal). (And once again, I am not sponsored, just giving credit again)
Lastly, a massive thank you to ‪@mecha_minecraft‬! He helped me a lot with the thumbnail and the editing for this video. Go check his channel out!
If you're curious, I made the thumbnail on Adobe Photoshop (2024 version), and I used Final Cut Pro for the editing.

Best lego tf2 animation I've seen so far

[@MayBitStudios]

👏🏻 this was worth the wait. I enjoyed every second of it. The humor was on point, the animation was smooth. I personally didn’t find the lighting an issue. 10/10

[@LazyBrikFilms]

Thanks! The humour was kind of what I was going for a lot of the time, so it’s good to hear that it worked well with the animation

[@pumpkin.lantern.mp8]

as a massive tf2 fan and a fellow animator, 10/10 brickfilm, keep it up!

This is amazing! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen tf2 animations so this is refreshing! The animation is really good and I love how they’re so scared only for the sniper to suck

[@JJBrosEntertainment]

I've been waiting for this! SO GOOD

[@BSTStudios]

I literally love this, reminds me of the old TF2 sfm animations I used to watch when I was a younger, tremendous work on this animation

Hey man! What fps do you use? And btw the animation is great 👍 It really fits the TF2 style, and now this should be made into SFM, lol

[@LowQualitymemes12-jg3ky]

THIS WAS EPIC

[@LazyBrikFilms]

Hey, is it just me, or ever since the “Seeing what Happens when I Animate with Natural Lighting” video, has the lighting seemed kinda bland? I dunno, might just be me Also, do any of you know how to make the camera look like it’s in first person? Because in 2:05, all I did was zoom in the camera, but that doesn’t look great. And it’s not like I can put the actual camera close to an object in front of it because otherwise it won’t be in focus. Just wondering if any of you have a solution to this

[@NebulonEclipse]

For a first person look I would try having the sides of each of a character's shoulders on opposite ends of the camera (something like that, however you position the arms and distance the zoom is up to you) idk if that makes sense but I hope that helps

[@LazyBrikFilms]

Oh yeah so add the arms in the shot. Alright, I’ll try that the next time I do a first-person shot. Granted I don’t know when that’ll be, but I’ll definitely try it

[@NebulonEclipse]

@@LazyBrikFilms Best of luck with it!

[@JoshuaSmith-qj4ps]

you could only have the arms in frame with the weapon in front of the camera depending on what kind you have. also you can make the engineer from Lego on bricklink you have to buy them but its legit Lego you can use the item number here some heads that i think will look good 3626bpb0198 3626cpb0751 3626cpb0928 3626cpb1332 just to help you out a bit because I love TF2 and Stopmotion :)

Could you please make an LEGO Half life Opposing Force animation like this one?

[@LazyBrikFilms]

Sadly I don’t actually know much about Half Life, and I have no idea what Half Life Opposing Force is. But just from looking at images of it, I don’t think I have the parts to make the characters Although I might make a regular Half Life video in the future, I would just need to learn about the game first

[@Gravity_studioss]

​@@LazyBrikFilms Half life takes place in the Black mesa research facility. The Main character is a scientist named Gordon Freeman. He and his colleagues perform an Experiment involving a crystal from another Planet. The Experiment goes wrong and causes Portals to open all across Black mesa, which in turn leads to an alien Invasion. It would be cool to see you make an Animation about half life using only this context I gave you

[@LazyBrikFilms]

@@Gravity_studioss Ah ok, thank you! I probably won't make a Half Life animation for a while since I do have other ideas, but in the meantime I might watch some Half Life gameplay videos to get a better understanding of it. Plus I do need to design minifigures of the characters, and plan the actual vid

[@spideyproductionz]

Hopefully you get more Minifigures to make pyro and engineer

[@LazyBrikFilms]

Yeah I’m planning to order the parts for them, but I won’t be able to order the parts for a while

[@Leo-lu5tx]

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS

[@LazyBrikFilms]

It took 86 hours for the animation, 3 hours and 10 minutes for the thumbnail, and 2 hours of editing. All of this was over the course of 37 days. This info is in the description, along with some other neat little facts
