			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hey! Welcome to BiM!!



What I would reccomend for interior sets (A living room for example) is a very neutral colour, one that's easy on the eyes.

Bright red or yellow may be a bit bright, and red can be a bad colour for cameras, so I'd reccomend Tan, Grey, and any colour with the word "Sand" before it, such as Sand Blue or Sand Red.


Good luck dude!!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[It's best to make buildings out of one primary color and possibly a stripe of another color through it.  It usually looks best when there aren't lots of different colors mixed together so make sure to get enough of one color to build a whole building.  The advice "build only what you can see in the film" was tough for me to follow.  In fact, I think my Thac 7 failed because I built parts of the set that weren't even in the final film.  Anyway, welcome to BiM.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[url=http://www.bricklink.com]www.bricklink.com[/url] is a great place to go for LEGO pieces, especially in bulk.
If you want to learn how to build better, look at neat stuff other people build for inspiration. Read [url=www.brothers-brick.com]The Brothers Brick[/url] and browse through LEGO pictures on [url]www.flickr.com[/url].
The Creator sets tend to be good sets with high price-to-piece counts, plus you can adapt the buildings for your backdrops.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, you can buy bricks that are made to look like the walls of some environments. One type that i know is the cave wall. If you buy enough of those, you can make a full cave. I'm sure you can probably find other bricks similar to this. But whatever you do, remember that you should build only what the camera sees. I hope this helps. :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hey, this is my first real post besides the introductory one... lol

Anyway, I'm a bit new to designing/creating large sets... I've done all of my brickfilms up until now with small, zoomed in sets. I've recently been taking the steps to achieve a larger workspace for larger sets. I've bought several base plates and now I need the bricks themselves.
I really need to know what kind of bricks to buy for building and set designs and how many of them. I recently bought a Basic Brick Box Deluxe (I think that's what it was called) that contained about 650 random bricks of different colors. It cost me about $40 from the Lego website and it is hardly enough to make a small building. I'm horrible at building with Lego bricks anyway :rolleyes: :) 

Any tips and helpful advice would also be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!]]></content>
