Welcome to BiM! It's refreshing to see someone with a well-structured first post.

1) How many shots you use will depend on the framerate you're using. I and a lot of other people recommend 15fps as a good balance. Now, it will depend on how fast you want said TV to fall. A good thing to to is to find some reference footage, if you can. In this case, find some footage of something falling off a balcony and from there you should be able to figure out how many frames to use in its falling animation. Some motion blur (which can be added in photo editing software like Photoshop or Gimp, or in post production software like After Effects) can help sell it.

2) Pretty much the same advice as in my last point. If you're asking about the technique used to make them appear to be flying through the air, the most common and generally most effective way is to use something else to hold them up, then "mask" this out (that is, erase it) in post production.

3) Walk and run cycles can be tricky. You could try adding in a frame or two to the slower runners' run cycles.

4) Shooting a scene at night isn't too difficult. Lots of people have success by using less lamps to light the set (just one for example) and putting some blue cellophane over it to tint everything in the shot blue. Another way would be to do this in post production. Personally I would opt for a combination of the two.

I hope these notes were helpful. If you have any other questions or if I didn't answer one sufficiently make a post and I'll try to answer it better

Yeah, the old adage "practice makes perfect" really applies to brickfilming. There really aren't any solid "rules". Everyone should be encouraged to practice and develop their own style of animating. That said, one thing that I really find helpful is finding some brickfilms with great techniques and trying to dissect them, to see how they were accomplished. Walk cycles for example.

Sean thankyou for posting back this incredible facts im as new as he is what i had to ask were like his questions only i just had a couple more.

You said its recommened to use 15fps right but thing is what do you mean by that do we need to take double shots or triple shots of the one pic or how? Please if you got a minute to explain please i really would like to know.

Another question i wanted to ask is how do you remove a blurred photo to get it clearer?

Another question i had was is it possible to add a photo on a lego brick wall and keep that photo there or do u have to manually put it in every frame?
I just ask cus ive taken over 2000 photos of legos moving and stuff for over 8 folders but i just struggle when i do the editing i use a software called power director which is good for pictures but suchs for lego animating is there good free software and is sony vegas the best software program for lego? Thanks.

For question 3, I would recommend what's called "Shooting on doubles".

It basiacally means that if you usually film at 15FPS, change it to 30FPS (15 X 2 = 30) and take two frames each time instead of one.

That way, when you want to make something faster than normal, like a car or another figure, you just move the fast object once every frame and the slower figure once every two frames.

Sorry if you think I'm treating you like an idiot by underlining, I didn't mean to I just wated to make it a bit clearer.

And welcome to BiM!

wat r ur questions?im new to.
