Topic: How i plane to make my next big movie

*Big breath in*

Okay, i have made several small movies, they were either

A: Poor plot
B: Poor special effects.

But now, i am going to make a very long movie , with somewhat good special effects.

Heres how i hope it will go down


1. Get stop motion software (i was looking at helium frog, but couldn't figure out how to import jpg's)

2. Get the minifigs needed (i need the new clone battle pack thats gonna get realesed on january 30th)

3. Capture frames using camera (i cant use my webcam since it is built into my laptop)

4. Use LSmaker to add special effects

5. Put all frames into stop motion software (most likely monkey jam)

5. Once i have all the frames right, and they are rendered in the software, i put them in Windows movie maker for any more editing. And i add voices using audacity.

6. Use Wax 2.0 to add any explosians, and background soundtracks


where is my plan flawled so i can adjust as such

I'm assuming Star Wars, judging by his need for the Clone Troopers Battle Pack, and LightSaberMaker to add some special effects.

I like your script so far, but how long are you planning the movie to be?

Roughly 5-7 minutes, maybe more depending on how the fighting scenes go

I also plan on making this a series

Re: How i plane to make my next big movie

Alright, the script is good, but not really that long. I'm working on a movie that has a script that's twenty-five pages long, and there are a number of nearly thirty minute long movies here.

You said that you will use a camera for frame-capturing, are you planning on getting a webcam. (Such as the Logitech Quickcam 9000) or are you going to try to use a digital camera? Most digital cameras won't work with animating because they're not compatible with any animating software.
As for your frame-capturing, if you're getting a webcam, just use Monkey Jam directly with the webcam, and that way you'll save a lot of time.

Also, since you're new here, you may want to read The Beginners Guide to Bricks in Motion.

Re: How i plane to make my next big movie

Actually, i will upload the files to my computer, and then put them into my computer, it's how i've done it before.

On webcam, i might someday, but all my money is tied up in lego, so i can't get one in time for shooting this video.

Usually i write "Bare basics" in my scripts, often i get 5-7 minute long films when i do this. And hey, this is my second biggest project, it might be a while til i get 30 minute long ones, mini/lol

Oh and before i forget, if i do get a webcam, i will problably use helium frog, it made things easier, but i can't use the built in webcam on my laptop for filming.

I say get a wedcam, it makes it a LOT easier to film and a LOT faster.  I used to use a camera,  but it took much longer then when I use a wedcam.

I'm not saying you have't to get one right now, but it makes it a lot easier when it comes to filming.

Re: How i plane to make my next big movie

Recently I got Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 (yes for 3 years I've been using some really crappy webcam I don't even know it's name) and I gotta say camera changes so much! Check out my Lego Punisher and Modern Warfare 3 videos, both are made recently but Punisher is made with old camera and MW3 is made using Quickcam Pro 9000 the difference is sooo huge and Pro 9000 camera is sooo much fun! mini/smile
