Top Gun: Maverick - Official Trailer IN LEGO

After months of painstaking work… I recreated the TOP GUN: MAVERICK trailer in Lego, one frame at a time. This was created 100% independently out of my love for Top Gun, cinema, and LEGO.

Best trailer recreation ever made. Period.

Such attention to detail - even the artificial horizon in the cockpit mirrors the aircraft manoeuvres. Bravo @Onbeatman!

There’s a love & craft to this that transcends it being just a Lego homage. In a world of war and economic foreshadowing.

It's definitely CGI and not stop motion. It's still absolutely amazing. I just want to be accurate.

[@shehranazim4784]

@@Xantar it's a mixture of both. The backgrounds and some things are CGI (applied via chroma key), but plenty of it was real stop motion.

[@deanlaffan2390]

Tom's lurch forward at 1:34. The look on Roosters face at 2:07 and his shimmy and finally the look on Tom's face at 2:23. This is fuckn EPIC ! Massive kudos to everyone involved you are all legends !

I like how you managed to create this before the movie itself was released lol. The stop-motion blends so well with the cgi. Hope we get to see an indepth behind the scenes on it!

👍👍

[@Youeatbabies]

Well the F18s and other stuff like that are real, they did fly irl and experience G force, but except that engine failure rooster’s Hornet had. It was CGI

[@buggerlugz6753]

You could have re-made the entire film in lego the amount of time this films been finished and unreleased.

[@KjetilBalstad]

@@Youeatbabies Lots and lots of the aircraft action is CGI or "stitched" footage. But yeah, they spent a lot of time in the back seat of real aircraft.

[@Youeatbabies]

@@KjetilBalstad bro. The dogfights or things you saw in the horner is real, for example tom cruise breathing due to G force you can’t fake that but its really hard to fake it. And in the original top gun it was real that he flew in the tomcat of proof of saying “Tom fell in love with aviation while making of Top Gun (1986)” in fact he did fall in love because it was real. And he wouldn’t had fell for it if it was CGI stuff.

When even the Lego Version gives you goosebumps

[@kpmh2001]

Top notch stuff, absolutely incredible.

[@leokimvideo]

And what's incredibly sad is LEGO will not produce military style sets because of their anti war stance. But let's not talk about the Toy Story Army Men on Patrol set 7595. There are loopholes when enough money pops up.
