Have you ever attempted something in a brickfilm that just FAILS? Have you ever tried something that would make your new short look AMAZING.....and then it crashes.
If so, then share it here!
I recently tried to fill a lego pool with real water...guess those bricks aren't so watertight.
Wait, if we post a failed technique here, could someone help us out? Or is it just for posting the failed techniques.
For example:
Person 1: I tried to make a wall explode outward/inward, but I FAILED
Person 2: *explains technique of how to do it*
Well, that wasn't my intended purpose (all i really wanted to do was have people share my shame) but that's a good idea.
I suck at ease in ease out! My run cycle sucks!
Duke_Boy, a while back I was doing a Titanic film so when it was time to flood one of the sets. I built a wall. Had the camera above the set. The water came pouring it, the set was destroyed, and now my brown pieces don't stick together like they used to.
Use CGI, Squirtz, or plastic wrap.
I minifigures are like mirrors, when I put them in front of the camera, the set gets slightly bricghter, but when I remove them the set gets darker. This would not bother me if I wasnt trying to mask.
Add a bit of light, or adjust exposure.
I can't get a good upward pan with my QCP9K, it's either too quick or jerky when I use bricks to make sort of a tower.
i tried to chroma key out my green screen in imovie, but it failed

I have the same problem some times. But for an upward pan, it isn't easy.
Make sure you have it held down.
using your hands, move the main part of your camera up the slightest bit of a movement you can.
Take a picture.
Repeat.
This is done at 15 fps.
