			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I have used brick based effects but simplified things by looping the effects in After Effects, they could also theoretically be looped in free programs like Hitfilms. But in [url=https://youtu.be/-nnV67l4148?t=3m13s]Beyond The Eleventh Dimension at 3:13[/url] I have waves on a beach which I animated in a separate pass from the minifigs, but I just looped the wave animation over the walk animations so I only animated 5 waves which I looped a few times while the two minifigs walked along the beach. There are a lot of little shortcuts you can use like that to have that brick built look without adding to much extra work.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I think it helps to have a lot of lights,  Small little flash lights that can fit onto a set.

it you want to make an explosion, make a cluster of orange bricks, and put a flashlight in its centere.  It really makes it glow and feel much more powerful.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I'm going to start doing more in-production special effects such as brick-built waves instead of digital water, brick-built explosions, etc. I know this is very time consuming and difficult, but I think it looks better than a lot of digital effects. (Don't get me wrong, though. Digital effects have their place.) I know the most important way of learning how to do this is practicing, but does anyone who has experience in doing this have any suggestions? Thanks.
