Yep, my brain just exploded.
Seems a little complicated, and it can be done in easier ways, but thanks for sharing anyway.

Sometimes I attach the corner of the camera to a 1X1 plate and spin it back and forth until it fits on another 1X1 plate, or a jumper plate (Depending on the angle) and then reinforce it with tiles. But most of the time I just attach a 6X10 plate to the bottom of the camera rig and simply don't attach it on the set. As long as it isn't bumped, it works just fine.....
It's also so easy a cave man can do it.

EDIT: (You guys do realize that I'm kidding right? The way he explained it made it very clear, but it's not even complicated in the first place.)

Something VERY FUNNY with YouTube's processing of the video:
There are icons below the video to rate, and etc.
Now, the last icon that shows up on my browser is INTERACTIVE TRANSCRIPT.
Watch the video again with that transcript ON, and watch the hilarity as youtube's AI tries to turn my voice into text and FAILS!  LOL, or whatever texting term you prefer.

That was cool man! I never thought of that before. Sure there are other easier ways to do this, but it is still very cool you figured this out.

Youtube @TheRealSonjira I consider it a personal defeat if my pee is not perfectly clear every time.]

You do realize that the interactive transcript is accurate only 2% of the time?

And great video! I'm trying to figure out angles and the video helps a lot!

Not bad application of a simple mathematical concept, but it does limit you to only a few possible angles. Personally, I just build my sets so that I can have the camera on my desk, and then just sticky-tack the camera down. But yes, if you have a set built on a large, deep baseplate that isn't being used fully, then this does work.

As if there's any other kind of brickfilm?

A pretty cool tutorial. The explanation was perhaps a little long-winded but I liked the concept.

Maybe there are other kinds of BrickFilms.  Like.... and I recoil whenever I try to say... those... accursed... M*** Block BrickFilms.  Of course, any story animated with... those... accursed... M*** Blocks would have inferior stories, dumb voices, and they will probably fall apart before the end.
