Re: Café Corner

I think it would help if the shoulders were placed closer to where the shoulders go...


Basically, the shoulders are way to low down on the torso. Unless of course you're going for some type of stylized creature with a really deformed body shape mini/wink

Re: Café Corner

Put the ball socikets higher to make them shoulders, and put 1x1 round plates (which my wife cutely calls "roundlets" in the head and you have a half-decent robot.

EDIT: It looks like the above postand this one was being written at the same time, the reason we sound alike!

Re: Café Corner

Hello everyone I haven't been on in awhile so now here I am, again. I want to warn everyone: If you get an email from "TPN network" DON'T DO IT. It is a scam.

I do not brickfilm anymore, but you can see my live action stuff here.

Re: Café Corner

Sup dudes, my company are pitching a Lego stop motion film to someone, and I could do with some examples of like houses being built from the ground, and or morphing into other things such as trees etc... could someone send me some lego examples of this? I know ive seen loads before but I am stumped to remembering any.

Re: Café Corner

I did a house being built from the ground up in this video. And here's a house turning into a castle.

Re: Café Corner

It's not much, but the very end of episodes 2 & 3 of Holding Our Own (as will all subsequent episodes) have a video of a brick wall featuring the words, "I built that" being built.

https://vimeo.com/channels/holdingourown. 

Just click the last 10 seconds of  either video.

The secret: I built the wall, took it apart brick by brick, and photographed it at every stage.  Then the order of the photos was reversed.

There's another video that shows me building a giant Lego Dreidel.  The same process was used: i took it apart then ran the film backwards.  So where I was dropping pieces, that are removed, it looks like they're flying in my hand as I build.  I don't have the URL off hand, because it's a private video on the only YouTube channel I have left (because much of my band has their material on it) and I don't have the URL right now and am not logging in from my location.  I'll get that URL is you want.

ON ANOTHER TOPIC:
There was a Marco Rubio ad on TV today that depicted a father and son building with Lego together.  Looked like a police vehicle in classic form.  This was just a Lego allusion, and mentioning this is not an endorsement or condemnation of the candidate.

Re: Café Corner

Just remembered there's also Mobiledeli's amazing video that has a lot of this.

Like HOO, I've always shot these things backward and then reversed the footage. Mobiledeli told me he actually filmed in forward order, because he felt the bricks were less likely to flex and move in weird ways doing it that way.

Re: Café Corner

I'm finally rendering that Batman film I started making when I joined this site.

It's only about two and a half minutes long, but at least I finished something.

Re: Café Corner

This excites me.

Re: Café Corner

That's awesome!

Got a release date yet?

Re: Café Corner

I'm uploading it now, so today, hopefully.

Re: Café Corner

I don't think I've ever heard any of Kanye's music, but I keep hearing about him nonetheless.

For the longest time, i thought his name was pronounced like "Cain".  I liked the sound of that better, and it disappoints me.

Re: Café Corner

I only know him for being stupid.

Re: Café Corner

Ha, I remember Kids Fest! I also remember insisting on referring to it as "LEGO Fest" so as not to appear as a baby man or something like that, good times...

It was a pretty fun time when my family drove all the way up to Cleveland to go a couple of years ago, although there definitely wasn't enough stuff to do there to warrant attending multiple days, maybe that's changed this year I don't know but we just stayed for the one and did pretty much everything there was to do. I'd say it'd be fun to check it out for a day if it comes nearby you, definitely wouldn't drive like 6 hours like I did the first time though. I remember how miffed me and my Dad were when a year after the whole family hiked it up across Ohio and payed for a hotel room, the event stopped by right in our home town.

Hey, guys. Anyone remember that one time when Kanye asked Mark Zuckerberg for $2 billion because he's $53 million in debt? Good times.

Re: Café Corner

Personally, I struggle to imagine how someone could get $5300 into debt, never mind $53,000,000.


On a side note, out of curiosity, will the BiMAs be making a comeback this year?  They came back last year, but nobody has mentioned anything in regards to them returning this year.

Are you quite sure you're feeling all right?  Did you eat anything unusual within the last 24 hours?

College/university loans, the way people buy cars frivolously, credit card debt, etc...

A lot of people are very irresponsible with their money management.
