Wow, that was just stunning. Especially that bricksplosion, crazy stuff there. The fighting was very good (I can see how 'I Am The Night' will be like! ) and again, the bricksplosion. How'd you do it?

Thanks.

Though, you're not exactly seeing how "I Am The Night" will appear. I'm pretty sure its going to be a lot better than this.
In a way, this was a bit of a test run. After this, it's going to blow your minds! and half-way through filming we found a good tripod for moving camera shots. xD Before, all we had was one to keep the camera up. He he

I plan to be posting up some stuff sometime about how I do that bricksplosion, along with an interesting lighting set-up. It'll be once I get back from Brick-Fair.

I'm not usually one for pointless violence but that was amazing! I really love the entrance thing. This is in 15 fps right?

Very good! The camera angles were excellent! How long did that that take you to animate?

   

I spent less than a week animating the first bit where I won the making an entrance, after that I got really lazy from using so much energy to animate so fast, so the next few weeks I just did the stuff where Philip is shooting at Vango and he deflects.
But once Dirty Sword fight started, I began hurrying again and finished it up with the sword fight in a week.

So, I think it took about a month over all.

Thanks LGFB.

Here are some pictures of the bricksplosion in the final frame from a slightly different angle.

Without red lights:

With red lights:

Because the lighting is actually rather dark and I set the camera to absorb a lot of light, it looks very bright, and the glow seems to actually come from the bricksposion.

This is one of my least favorite frames of the shot though. I was getting kind of lazy and just piled the bricks more randomly. xD It took a really long time to shoot this.

How did you do this: 0:07

Is it possible for you to show us how your setup looks like when you shoot that shot.(0:07)

   

Already destroyed it, don't want to rebuild it.

Thanks.
I feel the same way, I could only take a few seconds of Black Ops. That was horrible. In my LEGO world, they don't even have blood, they're just plastic! xD

Also, though it really really really doesn't look like it, no characters in this movie died. Yep, Vladimir Vango, like Batman, doesn't kill people, but just shoots them in ways to temporarily disable them (he's very skilled). everyone in the bricksplosion was just kinda burned.

I was actually wanting to animate some stuff at the end showing that everyone was alive, but I got lazy, and I wanted to end it with a bang. xD
