Archaic: Beneath the Land Above

[Darthbummer]

The story is excellent and the animation is simply wondreful. The end takes an unexpected turn and it gives the perfect suspense. This is truly a great movie.

Poor Hortas

[stopmotioncrazy33]

Great film ! , thank you for mentioning me in the description , i would of thanked you sooner but i couldn't access my account for while , so thank you , and keep up the excellent work.

[darthmilo77]

@stopmotioncrazy33 Thanks for the name suggestion! Glad you got your account back.

[stopmotioncrazy33]

@darthmilo77 Thanks , I notice you haven't uploaded anything for awhile , don't tell me you've stopped doing stop-motion ?

[ShdwProductions]

Excellent story telling, well executed animation, a definite brickfilm classic. Oh and i remember playing the old Rock Raiders game, xD when i was little i thought it was soo hard. I still have a few of those rock monsters though :)

[LEGOFANATICAZ]

why is this in march why not july

[darthmilo77]

@LEGOFANATICAZ This is based on a true story, and that's when it happened.

[handooboo]

that is cool x :)

[ARCblooper]

Original yet classic, but anticlimactic

[lego838]

5:38 Well, would you look at that! It's the old Solitary set!

Brilliant Milo, simply Brilliant!

[darthmilo77]

@lego838 I got quite a lot of use out of that set. I got a bag full of brown ridge pieces at Legoland one time, thinking they would be good for trees.

[Wormie356]

1:11 i wish i could do that

[SuperBrickmovies]

niiiiiiice love it :D

[arrowoodstudios]

Brilliant, absouletley brilliant. May I say, your videos have the quality to go on Youtube. Unlike Lego Farting contest crap, great job!

[AmesDonTPG]

Gotta love the story twist man! Awesome films as always ^~^

[braxtonman6]

Whats the sound track of this this very boss!

[commanderset159]

hey milo, i got the rock raider set with all of them and its because of you... thnk you for showing great faces from great sets and letting me know of them

[JMacKillop]

I liked it but i feel that it was wrong to take the crystals from the creatures

[blackrosesquad]

sequel?

[SleekerVideos]

wow, they killed off those rock savages

[Legostudiosplus]

Will always be a classic.

[bionicpotato]

Awesome!

[rockdontrun]

Wow, this was really good. I really liked the story, and the animation and settings were well done also. Keep up the good work.

[hnewberry99]

is there a deep moral meening to this?

[JedimasterRonin]

Wow, what an amazing story!

[gabrielsg2008]

Another nice piece of art. Congratulations! You should be proud (and you might be) lol

[jediking12]

I Noticed your video duation is 11:38 which is a reference to George Lucas THX 1138

[lufc1235]

yo how did u get the lego 2 fly in the sky

[foravaine]

Great Job!! this is an awesome video indeed.

I gave stop motion a shot too but it took me ~7 hours to make a video that is 2 and a half minutes long so I think I won't be trying it again soon :P

P.S.: I would appreciate your opinion on my work, it's on my channel ;)

[gabrielsg2008]

@AWG5Productions

[Starwarsfreak231]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[masterjackhoward]

this is one of the best films I've seen on youtube and would look forward to seeing more like it. great film. :D

[TymaxBeta]

For just stumbling upon this video I must say it is probably one of the best films on you tube, and a fantastic display of the fact that even Legos can be used to tell a serious and cohesive storyline. fine work sir!

[OZZYPROD]

Pretty epic i must say

[secretjedi01]

awsome its a really cool storie line

[secretjedi01]

is this based on a movie or is it your creation?

[darthmilo77]

@secretjedi01 Mine. It's my first original script in my own setting.

[elviscoolguy]

This film was as upredictable as any film i have ever seen.

[desolous15]

Not just a Lego video. A study of human dpravity. Your best work to date, milo!

[darthmilo77]

@desolous15 It made me feel kind of terrible this week when I played through the "Rock Raiders" game for the first time in years and ended up annihilating every rock monster in the game on sight, but at least the Rock Raiders sort of had an excuse in that they were trapped in the wrong galaxy...

[suspensewriter2009]

@darthmilo77 what is "rock raiders"?

[darthmilo77]

@suspensewriter2009 A Lego theme from about 10 years ago about miners who dug for energy crystals and had to fight rock monsters. There was a strategy game based on it too.

[Bfunkmaster11]

@darthmilo77 similar to today's "Power Miners"?

[darthmilo77]

@Bfunkmaster11 Right, yeah. "Power Miners" is basically a remake of the theme.

[COCOSTUDIOS072399]

u should have willam shans or whatever his name was get revenge

[MajicBricksStudios]

My opinion on the film.

I thought the story was vary well done. I was a little disappointed that my animation was better than yours in this film, but the story makes up for it (I don't have anything uploaded).The characters were excellent ,and so was the"feel" of the movie. I liked the way you made "me" think that the one character was going to be heroic ,and then we saw his "true colors". Overall 4/5!

[JGTraveler]

Nice! Come check out my "Cellar Stop Motion" and "Mecha Stop Motion"!

[ThePongProductions]

it was a great movie, and well done, but i agree with bionicles. these are terrible people.

[legomen330]

who the hell is the hero???

[oakeyproductions]

check out a cool stop motion video titled " behind closed doors stop motion" just click on our user name "oakeyproductions" or type it in to watch! tell us what you think! thanks!

[GeorgeJ001]

It was great it felt like it was in the cinemas. But i didn't like that they didn't help the guy who was there it would have been better

[airforcefan4298]

so ur like what 17 years old and you still make mediocre videos with your legos come on man

[T4MKUP]

AWESOME!!! Great Work!! Keep it up.

[commanderset159]

Also nice set... It's awesome

[commanderset159]

Dude this is awesome I have a question.... Wil u make another part because at the end, commodore said I have further work for u... Just wondering... Keep up the good work and plz answer this

[Bionicles2006]

I liked the film, but one thing that disturbed me the most was that these people are greedy and would do anything for money. There is really no hero here. I hope that in upcoming installments, you would change their ways to make it more enjoyable.

[darthmilo77]

@Bionicles2006 Sorry you didn't like it, but that was the entire point.

[legoackbar]

@Bionicles2006 That 1800's European imperialism for you...

[supermariobrosx1]

some cahrters I thogth had nothing to do with the story.I wish it made more of a story

[DarthWilius]

WTF!!!!! I thought they where going to stop that guy not help him so is there going to be another one or is that it your going to leave us in the mystery BTW AWESOME REALLY FELT LIKE A CINEMA MOVIE!!!!!!

[JackMotionFilm]

cool! but why did they get away with killing all the rock monsters? I mean, I thought the good guys win!

But its your movie so what ever

[Legomann205]

Are you going to make another one?

[artdip]

really really cool, with the steampunky feel and everything, but i was actually on the rock creature's side... lolz, nice job anyway!

[totalSNIPER]

Well Mr. Price, you've done it again. A great film with such simple toys! I love it!

Keep up the good work.

[LegoComDude]

Are you going to make a sequel? :|

[BrickAction101]

great job but MMX?

[darthmilo77]

@BrickAction101 2010 in Roman numerals.

[legomoviemaker1]

A very good film but it could have been better if they did more on the island like fought a battle with loads of monsters when they tried to leave the cave or if carl stole there aorship leaving them merooned. But overall 8/10 or 4/5 if you could rate stars anymore

[brodieproductions]

whens the next episode coming out?

[caprexfan716]

i liked it. my one question is, will you make a part two? pleez respond

[LuiDeca]

darth, i cant talk to spugesdu anymore, but can you tell him something?

LuiDeca Dosent want to fight anymore.

[Saminatorger]

I was very impressed with the story, a very clever and imaginative one. Although the animation and effects weren't perfect, it was still an ejoyable film. The only other thing, is it would have look nicer in 16:9 aspect ratio

[FalamfalaFilms]

Sorry but I didnt particularly like the ending for this film, it didnt seem.....you know like a good ending .But in anny case 5 stars for the unexpected ending.

[DASJUVE22]

are you making a sequel?

[Follower0fKane]

Is that just stock music you just found on the web or did you really have someone compose it? (Garageband counts as composing)

[Follower0fKane]

*facepalms at self* forget i asked the question

[darthmilo77]

@Follower0fKane Stock music (track names in the description). I think I have Sony ACID Pro, but I sort of suck at composing, as you can see in the "Music I made" video on my other account, darthmilo77ALT.

[Inglis93]

As I said before, great job! Is there any reason it's not widescreen? :P

[darthmilo77]

@Inglis93 I wanted to evoke the "old-timey" feel of before they had widescreen film. It also allowed me to film in a higher resolution than if I had just cropped off the top and bottom (which is the only way my camera lets me film in widescreen) and it worked better for some of the shot composition.

I also corrected the pixel aspect ratio for the first time; you may have noticed that the characters don't seem as squashed as in prior films.

[robloxdude33]

Amaving

[redmenstudios]

Good video so did You base this on the true story?

[blackbeltjedi]

So wait, the bad guys won?

[TERMINATORMAN1000]

a aw awe awes aweso awesom awesome awesom aweso awes awe aw a

[Carnivore898]

That was amazing. Simply amazing. This is what separates you from others like forrestfire101. Pure story-telling ability. It's near impossible to find films like this on Youtube. Thank you for making this.

[PokeFreakPlatinum]

@Carnivore898

That, and Forrestfire101 is pretty raunchy..

[MandMProductions23]

isnt this a mixture between avatar and like the old rock raiders books?

[edwardscizrhnds]

@MandMProductions23 your not in a hot air balloon no more your on rock gorilla island hahaha

[noahfc]

An awesome video! great plot and storyline and excellent animating, scenes and camera angles! great job man! thanks for entertaining me!

[ThisIsCrap50]

Will you continue Archaic?

[legomaster10000]

awsome!

[captainawesome0711]

so how is this based on avatar but it still rocks

[legomovieman94]

Wow... for the sake of people who haven't watched this I won't spoil anything, but that ending was really unexpected!

[Jva71000]

awesome, but there wasnt that much action

[lisaisanut]

Great! very origanal work!

[Stayontargetprod]

Bravo. Magnificent work. The story is more complex than most of the other videos I've seen on youtube. How long did this take you to come up with? It's marvelous! The animation was a tad bit choppy at parts but I can't tell you how much I love your story. One of these days, this would make a great feature length film. As long as you stick to animating and making videos like this, you'll keep amazing me. And others. Congrats on another great film.

[Stopmotioner1]

Cool i like this stuff

[elviscoolguy]

Just make a sequel ok? but very unpredictable

[vreeland17]

well those guys where great. no buddy cares about nature anymore

[ert828]

SUPER COool

[justforparody]

Awesome.

[articace28]

Amazing. but it seems at the part were the spelunker takes out the gun then the other guy pulls out his gun too it seems like you were originally going to make it longer and he tricks the guy by takeing out his gun but instead it seems like you were rushed or it was too long. But anyway 5/5 =]

[Agreenbrick]

Cool! I really liked how you made this film being serious but not boring. It did sound like a story written by a professional :)! The only thing that made me dislike it a little, was the fact that every explorer was a "bad guy"... Hopefully we will see more of that island and it's now probably dying rock creatures in another episode;)!

[thefourmonkeys]

Great work Milo! Loved the story and everyone did an excellent job voicing.

[silents429]

i dont usually like films like this i dont know if ill keep my subscription

[darthmilo77]

@silents429 This isn't the only type of thing I'm making anymore, Solitary Part 9 is still coming, but of course you don't have to be subscribed to see it or anything.

[silents429]

@darthmilo77 ill still see solitary 9 i have meh ways

[doopliss34]

@silents429 You've unsubbed to about 15 of the "Cool" people on Youtube. What do you want from him? This is quite an amazing film, cheers Milo.

[silents429]

@doopliss34 films like this arent in my intrest im looking forward to solitary but im sure ill know when it comes ill see it at some point

[doopliss34]

@silents429 No, I mean you unsubbed Ross, I think Eric, Reviloford, and a bunch of people. Solitary is probably going to be worked on now, he's in High School, so he probably has almost no time. Now, I don't care who you unsub, I'm just wondering what your style of films is.

[silents429]

@doopliss34 i unsubed ross because i dont like customs and he filled my sub box all the time and i never unsubed rev and eric blocked me and i blocked eric thats why also my style of brickfilming isnt this for sure and i no hes in high school i dont really care if he has time or not

[doopliss34]

@silents429 Wait, you don't care if he has time or not? If he doesn't have time, he won't make Solitary. What is your style, then? And then why did you ever sub Ross? Eric probably blocked you for siding with John, maybe someone else unsubbed Rev, I might have gotten mixed up. Rant, and conversation, over.

[silents429]

@doopliss34 if your trying to seem smart your not i was never subed to ross only for a few days then i unsubed and my style isnt of your business and eric blocked me because we fight and if hes not right he goes berserk

[doopliss34]

@silents429 Your style is probably SW, But I'm done talking to you. You don't seem to understand me, at all. I won't be responding again.

[silents429]

@doopliss34 my style isnt star wars if you havent noticed the last star wars film iv made was months ago

[madcat991]

How did you keep the camera so still?

[darthmilo77]

@madcat991 A tripod.

[madcat991]

@darthmilo77 OK, Thanks, great story btw

[jedwardsgoldenbrick]

cool twist i like it

[justsuper9]

Well this was really cool, kinda like steampunk Rock raiders! I really liked this video, And the fact that the length is 11 minutes and 38 seconds.

[DAK101010]

Wow, this is awesome! I wish I hadn't given up on Stopmotion lol...

[Darthbrickman]

amazing video, but if you listen closely you can hear the clicking i have that same problem and i have a pc but anyway cool video

[darthmilo77]

@Darthbrickman What time specifically? (So I can fix for the next edition)

[supahdavid2000]

since you and forrestfire101 are the two best lego vid makers, i think you should make lego star wars knights of the old republic 2 videos

[EliteGuard01]

So wait the bad guys won? And what happened to William Shans? Did they kill him? That is a big plot hole. I hope it is filled in a sequel. Other than that this was an awsome stop motion movie. Good music, flawless stop motion and a decent plot. Good work.

[darthmilo77]

@EliteGuard01 It's up to the viewer to decide what happens to him. All we know is that when we last see him, three people have guns pointed at him, and they later say he wasn't a problem "in the slightest." It's strongly implied that they shoot him or something, but for all we know he begrudgingly agreed to cooperate--you can decide.

[LDtheBrachio]

amazing (sorry but i though the ending was abit un-positive, agian sorry) maybe if you become a film maker (as in films) you could proply do this in Live action, but ti's great as it is (nice effects)

[TDogg186]

that was entertaining but didn't feel like Victorian Britain to me. actors were good but but speech was badly written and sets were inaccurate.

[jediben0]

some how i get the feeling if there is gonna be a sequel that the commoder is gonna double cross the two explorers

[misterlego817]

Lol the time of the movie is 1138 which is also a number featured in all the star wars movies that was an inside joke between the creators and workers!

[legoSWproductions]

It was pretty good, but I was expecting a little bit more action...

[BrickheadVideos]

A brickfilm revolutionizing video Milo. Damn good film. I also like the authentisity of it too.

[jetfish777]

i dont think a rock monster would die from a couple of shots lol

[darthmilo77]

@jetfish777 Maybe they were erosion bullets?

[Perfecturn]

amazing good story line and nice clear video one of the best stop motions i have seen the srory line was some thing out of a book wow that was very unexpected in a good way

[legoboy1234567890]

that was boring

[CRod401]

@legoboy1234567890 Right because only legoboy makes the best stop motions right? Psssh...

[atticustm1]

adequate

[mrgokart73]

is this sort of lego power miner? because of the rock monsters?

[darthmilo77]

@mrgokart73 Close, it's supposed to be like the Rock Raiders set line that the current Power Miners line seems to be based on. The three main characters have Rock Raiders heads as sort of an allusion to that.

[brodieproductions]

that was really cool but what ever happend to that willam shanks guy whatever his name was?

[thebman610]

epic man thats sweet i love it

[gadalia10]

It is those kinds of greedy jerks animals are extinct (other than dinosaurs)

[commanderbly605]

good job!

[KingGeartech]

This movie has a sort of H.G. Wells appeal to it. I like it, a great twist at the end. I would have never suspected it that way. I am only dissapointed that we were not able to see more of the civilization that has been specified. Are you planning on making a sequal? If so, looking forward to it!

[8447michael]

willa thera bea mora ofa thema

[marinmaker]

love it!!!! the voices are great( awesome that gareth is it)

the music is outstanding and the story is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

[LegoProductions88]

good i like it but i agree u should of had some secret thing at the very end becides that really good job

[kingofdarkness227]

how did you come up with this

[mnielsen01]

wheres the happy ending?

[Rodan41rex]

i nearly cried at the end. Did Not expect it though. Good Job.

[legomainman]

What time period is this?

[Legoteen123]

@legomainman well if u see how they dress and the tools they use and the blimp maybe before like 1944 or even like 1930's. Because if you think about it they only used blimps in those times until that one blimp blew up and burned into flames.

[darthmilo77]

@legomainman I actually don't know. I originally wanted 1877 (77, get it, ha ha ha) but zeppelins weren't invented until the early 20th century, plus it seems to have gas propellers. I also intended it to be an alternate timeline, though, so that doesn't help with placement. Until further notice, just assume some time around the turn of the last century.

[legomainman]

@darthmilo77 Alright thank you.

[willco66]

@darthmilo77 I don't understand

[TheMoneybutt]

lol is that the same set as solitary

[LEGOCODY07]

That was an odd ending but cool movie

[drummerboy62395]

it was amazing blew my mind of some sort

[DarthBob8]

nice man, this is so going in the montage!

[DoctorEntertainment]

that ending was so weird. C'mon really. You gotta tie up the loose ends. Good original plot, though.

[darthmilo77]

@DoctorEntertainment What loose ends did you want tied up?

[darthmustard777]

for all u ppl who r saying it was a dumb ending, im pretty sure he was setting it up for a sequwl of some sort

[WiseNinjaProductions]

that had a bit of a sad ending

[LegoFelix]

The most dissapointing ending ever, I LOVE IT!

[1Historygenius]

that was great

[Bisbeatle]

You could have gone ALOT further with the story than that! Dumb ending... good animation, voices, and music.

[otislegoking]

best movie you have ever made but ehy did the 2 new explores turn on the guy who wanted to save the rock monsters
