Just over a year ago BrickNerd Studios completed work doing a load of animation (a lot of which is in this trailer!) for Beyond The Brick, a LEGO Brickumentary. I'm happy to see it's finally coming out soon. Check out the trailer!
This was yet another epic round of Iron Builder. Once again I'm floored by the creativity and ingenuity of the builders. And as if the flood of MOCs that somehow incorporated that infernal pitchfork part wasn't enough, builder 6kyubi6 ends this round with a stop motion animation inspired by Jon Rolph's "Paint. A Short Lego Film". Well played sir.
Friend and fellow filmmaker Paul Hollingsworth and his daughter followed in John Hammond's footsteps and spared no expense making this EPIC tribute to Jurassic Park. If you're a fan of animation, LEGO, dinosaurs or humor, you're going to love this film. There's also a great behind the scenes video, where you can see that making these films is as much fun as watching them. I chatted with Paul this morning and he said "Teaching Hailee how to animate has been a great way to spend time together doing what we love." I couldn't agree more.
The School of Life released it's latest video, The Right Person. Produced at BrickNerd Studios in collaboration with Spastik Chuwawa. Don't let the misguided standards of dating sites and social pressure prevent you from finding the right person. Be romantic and realize nobody is perfect, including you. Done by James Morr, Dane Erland and me, a crew of three.
What goes better with death and destruction than minifigs? BrickNerd Studios, in partnership with SpastikChuwawa was recently tasked by The School of Life to do exactly that, and this is the result. We had a great time producing this two minute short, and we're pretty proud of how it turned out.
How can you go wrong with Aardman, stop motion and wool? Shaun the Sheep is finally getting his own movie this year, and builder ArzLan is celebrating with a lovely little MOC of the title character. Not baaaaaaad sir, not baaaaaaad.
You know what makes really cool camera moves happen in stop motion animation? Motion control, that's what. I've launched a gofundme campaign to get one of these little beauties at BrickNerd Studios. Click through to help.
Are you a fan of brick films? Well, here's some great news, there's a Kickstarter Project from director Phillip Heinrich and producers Doug Vandegrift, Nathan Wells and Zach Macias called Bricks In Motion. With our help these filmmakers can create a full length documentary about the fascinating world of LEGO animation. It's only be a few days and they're already over half way there. Show them some support!

Last month BrickNerd Studios was lucky enough to have stop motion animator Kevin Ulrich help us out on Beyond The Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary. Sharp eyed viewers might have spotted him in this video of our biggest setup (he's the one wearing glasses). Well the team at How It Should Have Ended recruited him as well, and who better to determine how The LEGO Movie *should* have ended?
Another co-conspirator on the secret animation project is James Morr of SpastikChuwawa fame. His latest video features a familiar mascot. Check it out.
Here's a great little brick film to get you in the halloween mood.
