I just think it's hilarious that there was ever such thing as google video. Now it's gone :'( forever. RIP GOOGLE VID.
Since 2005 actually.
2005 - Played around with my camera and discovered how you can make things move (I was 8 allright)
2007 - Stopped a little as it got kinda boring and I was more interested in live-action
2008 - I created the YouTube channel LuckeMasse trying to take up brickfilming again.
2009 - Got sponsored by the biggest LEGO re-selling company in Scandinavia called "Warehouse19"
2010 - Hit 1000 subscribers!
2011 - Got into the YouTube Partnership Program!
2012 - YouTube took away about 300 subscribers from my channel and shut my partnership down...
2013 - Who knows....
2009- Me and my brother had talked about making "LEGO movies", but it was mostly just to recreate clips from TV shows and films.
2010- I make my first brickfilm, but I deleted it because it was terrible.
2011- I enter THAC 9, my first (and possibly my last) THAC.
2012- I pretty much stop with brickfilming. I've grown out of it and between school and piano lessons, I just don't have time for it anymore.

Grown out of it? No such thing. Also... school and piano lessons... that'll do it.

Oh sorry I accidentally clicked twice.
Mickey, how could you say that?
I just can't find the time anymore. I've got too many things going on. I should, however, get enough time during the holidays; I might return for a tenth THAC. 
I started Spring/Summer 2010. I used the Record button to take "pictures." Lol! Since then, I've used about 5 different cameras.( and I have never been fully satisfied with any of them).
This thread could be very interesting. Lets keep it going!
February 16, 2009. I used a camcorder my parents had until like march 2013. Now I use canon rebel T3.
I started about a year ago, I used the webcam that comes installed on my computer and raised my baseplate on books in front of my laptop (beast setup I know).
I have been doing stop-motion for about three years. It has been hit and miss though, do to lack of proper equipment; but our studio solved that and now we are ready to go.
My first film won the the street biking BIM challenge.

And I always have a video in the works, though usually they are just practice vids. I have a passion for brick-filming, which being a small time rancher, I find a time for.
15 months.
I made a "film" in 2005. It was actually just a lot of videos o me talking into my camera microphone and dragging the cars around with concealed bricks out of screen. It was horrible. I kept trying, this time actually taking pictures and animating and got up to 14 frames per second, as that was the maximum speed at which windows movie maker allowed until I discovered the "speed clip up" option in it, where I sped each frame up individually to show each one for .03 seconds, or roughly 33 FPS. Of course being new, I thought that the faster frame rate looked great but I was absolutely incorrect. After the lack of ideas I gave up about two months later. A Film and Animation class that I took spring of 2012 at my school rekindled my interest in brickfilming, and that has carried through today.
You know, I did try some animation in the late 1990s. There were two robot videos: the first one was a battle between 2 Transformer Generation 2 laser rod figures: Jolt and Volt. The other was a tiny Micromaster Transformer from 1989 vs. some unidentidied mecha that I found in someone's garbage and was too cool to throw out. I'll see if I can find the tape & post to youtube.
Since 2007 - though I've been trying to erase my embarrassing early efforts (which is the only similarity I will ever have with Stanley Kubrick)
I posted my first brickfilm on YouTube on the 27th of July, 2011... I had messed around with stop motion a bit before, but it was my first real project (if you can call it that 
).
My sisters, though, had made some animations quite a while ago with their Digital Blue camera.
As of now, I don't really brickfilm anymore, but maybe I'll start up again in the future!
