Brick Kingdoms Episode 2 Attack of the Trolls

[MrBillabongcrew]

Woosh

[ziljin]

@MrBillabongcrew yep awesome sound effects right?

[ThePongProductions]

or not..... maybe there isn't part 3?

[ziljin]

@ThePongProductions probably never. I got tired of making stop motion videos. I made some stop motion after this though.

[ThePongProductions]

go to: find sounds . com (removing the spaces of course) you can get much better sounds. but your video is great! cant wait for part 3!

(this is NOT spam just advice)

[ziljin]

@ThePongProductions those are copyrighted and whatnot.

[joshuacadereynolds]

pretty good

[ziljin]

@joshuacadereynolds Thank you very much!

[Aidax12345]

[ziljin]

@mirellabutterfly29 Wow that is a lot! Just stand them all up on plates and make an army video!

[bensyahmi]

dragon knights are suppose to fight the lion knights

[ziljin]

@bensyahmi In my lego universe everyone can help and fight each other.

[kgavin187]

Episode 3 possibly???

[ziljin]

@kgavin187 Hah. I have gotten tired of stop motion. no longer motivated to do such mighty productions. Sorry. I make a moc every now and then. I should probably make one soon.

[kgavin187]

@ziljin OK. You have great quality though i just wanted you to know that. You are in my top 5 on Youtube.

[ziljin]

@kgavin187 Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

[kgavin187]

@ziljin Well it is true man.

[ziljin]

@kgavin187 That means a lot to me. And I started making more lego videos. Well I only made one so far. But I hope to make more.

[kgavin187]

@ziljin I'm sure they'll rock like the rest of your videos.

[ziljin]

@kgavin187 Thanks I uploaded a review of a holiday set and going to make another timelapse video.

[kgavin187]

@ziljin Cool i'll check it out!

[ziljin]

@kgavin187 Thanks!

[kgavin187]

@ziljin Yw!

[Goneatdusk]

Woosh!

[ziljin]

@Goneatdusk hahaha yea

[ShadyBrix]

what did you use for the mouth animation? Great vid btw!

[ziljin]

@ShadyBrix I used MSpaint to draw in the mouths. Thanks.

[ziljin]

@UberGhostChicken Maybe in the distant future.

[ziljin]

@L3G0FaN evening out my comments.

[Djarcon]

Nice Forged Dwarven Battle hammer

[ziljin]

@Djarcon thanks man. Yea its cool. Definitely my favorite custom built weapon.

[ziljin]

@jerkoff71 Yes they do.

[SuperBrickmovies]

@SuperBrickmovies just read your comment, thanks a lot man.

[vimuin]

nice lego hammer

[ziljin]

@vimuin thanks!

[SuperBrickmovies]

@vimuin hammer time!

[legoking1013]

I liked it better when your voice WAS'NT in the video.

[ziljin]

@legoking1013 For real? =(.

[legoking1013]

@ziljin It's not you. It's just kind of inconsistant.

[ziljin]

@legoking1013 Oh you mean, first two videos had no voice and then suddenly there is voice. I just wanted to try out the voice thing.

[legoking1013]

@ziljin Again, no offence but I say keep it without the voice. (I dono why.)

[ziljin]

@legoking1013 I see. Well I probably won't be continuing this series anytime soon.

[legoking1013]

@ziljin mmm.......



[ziljin]

@legoking1013 Yea I am shiting towards making MOC's and moving away from stop motion.

[JerseyGuidoBoy]

1.Good movie,But the dragon knights are enemies with the lion knights.

2.Who are the blue kingdomers?

[ziljin]

@JerseyGuidoBoy Think of it as fan fiction, you can change friends and enemies. The blue knights are Crown Knights. They fought against the trolls and skeletons in Castle 2007-2009. Also known as Fantasy Era since it also had Dwarves.

[1065chris]

i have an idea for lego brick kingdoms 3 you should use the scorpion knights from lego knights kingdoms

[ziljin]

@1065chris I do not have any scorpion knights and unwilling to buy them on ebay or bricklink or people.

[Lumpyrox1412]

Just a hint dont you think the archers should have their crossbows in their left hands because of the reloading with the quivers? Plus how did you move the mouthes of the characters?

[ziljin]

@Lumpyrox1412 I see. I did not think about it. I used Microsoft Paint to paint in mouths.

[Lumpyrox1412]

You should so make an episode 3 with the skeleton army!! :)

[ziljin]

@Lumpyrox1412 I will think about it. i was thinking of something else that is Castle but unrelated.

[Lumpyrox1412]

Where did you get the sound effects like the marching, shield bashing and stabbing. I know you did the voice over but what did you use for the troll king's voice because he doesn't sound like your regular voice?

[ziljin]

@Lumpyrox1412 Marching I just recorded myself walking and then put it on top of another clip of me walking and then amplified it. Using Audacity which is free. For the shield bashing it was my a audio conversion of me dropping a box on the floor. And the stabbing was a letter opener hitting the metal part of a nail clipper. I use WinFF to convert video into audio.

For the troll king's voice I just forced myself to have to have a deeper voice. Like how Christian Bale did for his Batman voice.

[Lumpyrox1412]

The bushes at 0:54 almost fell over.....

[ziljin]

@Lumpyrox1412 Hah yea. Because I messed it up during animation.

[jenastar27]

nice it's just funny how the die =)

[ziljin]

@jenastar27 Lol. Yea I guess they do die funny.

[drewpyfz6]

Really good..... I liked that.

[ziljin]

@drewpyfz6 Thanks a lot! Glad you did.

[ziljin]

@Thelego468 Glad you think so!

[rainbowcoins1]

LOL..... Very neat....

[ziljin]

@rainbowcoins1 Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[NinjaGoShow]

HOW DO U DO THAT IT IS SO COOL

[ziljin]

@NinjaGoShow Be specific? Which part do you want to know how to do?

[spudfilms1]

i always love a happy ending lol nice work im very impressed by your work specialy your script writing , backrounds , lighting, and mouth movement

[ziljin]

@spudfilms1 Lol yea. I did want the humans to lose just yet. I appreciate that you liked all the different aspects of the video. The backgrounds part is easy. Just switch the walls around and move the terrain pieces.

[MrRedraider100]

aweseom

[ziljin]

@MrRedraider100 Thank you.

[L2W272]

lol that was quite funny, also liked the marching sequence, made it look like there were lots more minifigs then there actually were

[ziljin]

@L2W272 Thanks. Lol yea. Well they were all there for the humans marching but I ended up not using most of them for the battle.

[L2W272]

@ziljin oh really? i thought you edited it to make it look like there were more, guess you really do have a lot of minifigs:P

[ziljin]

@L2W272 Well I have around 30ish trolls and of the blue humans. Probably like 10ish of the red and green humans. I probably won't get anymore and will focus on getting giant sets for more bricks. I thought it would be too hard to have them all on the battlefield fighting.

[L2W272]

@ziljin O_O thats alot....

well i can see why you would focus on getting bricks now....

and i reckon it would be alot more work to have them all fighting, but maybe in a larger stop motion project?

[ziljin]

@L2W272 Yea it is. I also have like 20 dwarves, 10 pirates, 10 medieval villagers, 15 skeletons, and some other minifigs. I definitely have at least 100 minifigs in total. Some people have like 500+ of each army. But that is too rich for my blood.

Actually I have lots of gray bricks I just need a better imagination.

Maybe I will try. But it would probably be super short scenes. like 10 guys on screen and just spear stab and the enemies all die. Something simple like that.

[L2W272]

@ziljin wow, that its a hell of alot of minifigs, i dont think ill be collecting them, that sounds like way too much for me :)

oh, imagination usually helps when creating things, but im sure randomly guessing works aswell :P

personally i think that would look lazy, but if you did the 10 in seperate scenes, (1 or 2 minifigs vs 1 or 2 per scene) and then just have them in a different layout, i reckon it would look less lazy (and prob isnt much more effort)

[ziljin]

@L2W272 I have seen some people post their collections. Makes me envious. Some people bought 300 of the Spartan minifig. And those are the collectible kind so probably more expensive.

Well I was going to make a castle but I think I might try to make some vehicles instead. Like crude blocky looking tanks. Or even a train!

That is basically what I did here. Have them fight in smaller numbers. Probably would be better if I had some of both. So that there is a sense of a large scale battle.

[L2W272]

@ziljin 300 of the same minifig? that seems stupid to me, expecially if they cost more.

oh sounds cool, you should have a go

yep

[ziljin]

@L2W272 Because f the movie 300. So they want their own 300 Spartans. But yea it is dumb. But looks impressive if you have a nice diorama to display them.

Well right now I am working on creating a cliff for the upcoming stop motion. Going to have the cliff on the blue baseplate and have the Gogg emerge. Then i guess vehicles come to try to kill it.

I will do that in future stop motion but for now I will try to make at least two gunpla/lego stop motion.

[L2W272]

@ziljin oh yeah, didnt like that movie... and i can imagine them looking awesome if you haad a good scenery

haha nice, sounds cool

ok fair enough

[ziljin]

@L2W272 Lol. Yea it was overrated.

Well I made a Lego cliff, and started the stop motion. I just have to figure out the rest. I did not plan this out.

One will be the gundam one, and right now I am working on the one with the Gogg and the blue baseplate.

[L2W272]

@ziljin well it is one of the few movies i watched in the cinema, and it was pretty crap imo, but different.

nice, even if you didnt plan it out, surely that just means you can make a more random but cool stopmotion?

sounds good, that would be interesting to watch no doubt :P

[ziljin]

@L2W272 Not sure why the movie was so popular. Probably because it was based on a comic.

Yea I guess so. I am making it up as I go. And thinking of new stuff.

Yea the only problem is the baseplate is not wide enough so I am unable to zoom out to see the entire Gogg. In the stop motion you can nly see the bottom or top half . At least in the water scenes. Maybe in other scenes I can zoom out and not rely on the baseplate.

[L2W272]

@ziljin i bet the comic was much better :P

well atleast you can guarantee it will be unique :D

so the baseplate is a bit too small? you could maybe buy another 1/2 and stick them together (underneath)

[ziljin]

@L2W272 I remember reading the comic. Probably is better. There was also the older movie based on the same battle. I tried watching it, but they had like 10 guys in the battle line. Kind of funny looking.

Yea I hope so. I did like 2 more scenes.

Well the baseplate is nice and big, but its a square. And the way the c/amera is angled, the further from the camera the narrower the baseplate. So it looks like a trapezoid

[L2W272]

@ziljin haha lol, you mean just 10 people? or the same 10 people for all of the spartans? that would be funny

yay, progress :)

well i feel stupid for having to google search trapezoid....but yeah,i didnt know that shape was called trapezoid

[ziljin]

@L2W272 In the film, it was just an open field, no cliffs. And a single line of troops marching against the persians. No organized hoplite formation with several rows of soldiers.

Now I have to do more scenes and figure out the rest. I was going to have modern military fight the gogg but I might switch to castle minifigs.

Lol its fine. The point is, the way the camera is angled, the further part of the baselate is narrower due to distance. Which causes the white background to show.

[L2W272]

@ziljin doesnt sound too bad then.

fair enough, makes me think of turn a (kinda set in olden times, with blimps and stuff like that, but also with MSs)

yeah, cant really think of a good solution for that though, except for angle adjustments

[ziljin]

@L2W272 it was just funny looking to see a single line of troops. Hardly enough to make up 300 spartans.

Well I have yet to progress on the stop motion. I only have the beginning. Not sure what to put in the middle or end.

Well maybe in future I can get more blue plates and I can just put them near the edge of the baseplate to extend it.

[drewpyfz6]

Good animation, as always.

Look forward to your next project.

[ziljin]

@drewpyfz6 Thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[Eragondaparagon]

I'll bet it took some time to make that marching sequence from 0:27 - 0:37. You, my friend, are far more patient than I.

[ziljin]

@Eragondaparagon Actually I only animated one frame per step because I was too impatient to do all of that moving. Usually I do 2 frames per step so I cut my work in half.

[nickcip]

and dwarven axes! ha nice vid btw

[ziljin]

@nickcip Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[nickcip]

trolls! they are spaming swords!

[ziljin]

@nickcip Lol yea. I gave them some dwarven axes to give them variety.

[shurkaku]

I am glad that you finished this it was really good. I'll be looking forward to your next project.

[ziljin]

@shurkaku Thanks. Next two or three stop motions will be stop motion building lego, then someting with Gundam models and lego people.

[MrConnor2000]

cool

[ziljin]

@MrConnor2000 Glad you liked it.

[MGBandit75]

Nice job. Cool knights and trolls army.

[ziljin]

@MGBandit75 Thank you. Glad you liked the video and the minifigs.

[adamman333]

Nice job as always

[ziljin]

@adamman333 Thank you, glad you enjoyed it as always.

[Legomation911]

you heard the boss! moove out! awesome work man

[ziljin]

@Legomation911 That was my favorite line too. I am glad you enjoyed the stop motion. Thanks a lot.

[tkmr01021213]

It is very splendid movement!

Congratulations on victory!

I wait for the product on the next time!

[ziljin]

@tkmr01021213 Thank you, I a glad you liked the stop motion.

[tkmr01021213]

@ziljin

I want to challenge stop motion, too

[ziljin]

@tkmr01021213 You should try making your own stop motion. It can be fun.

[tkmr01021213]

@ziljin

Thank you!

I make it by all means!

[ziljin]

@tkmr01021213 Your welcome. I look forward to it.

[spirtspear]

not bad I really am amazed with the mouth work there keeep up the good work. I know the picture editing is pretty boring.

[ziljin]

@spirtspear Thank you, glad you like the mouth work. I got lazy and had some of them wearing helmets so I did not have to do it that much. Editing the mouths in was easy, just the trying to sync the mouth movement to the voice was a bit harder.

[Legomation911]

Slot better than the first one especially with the sound effects love it keep up the good work

[ziljin]

@Legomation911 Thank you, glad you think so. I put a lot more effort into this one. I hope to make each one better and better.

[Legomation911]

@ziljin cool

[ziljin]

@Legomation911 Yep.

[SoulCalibur1994]

awesome battle!

[ziljin]

@SoulCalibur1994 Thank's I am glad you think so. Your stop motion battles inspired me.

[SoulCalibur1994]

@ziljin I appreciate that

[TradingCardsDude]

Nic sound effects :D LOL nice video

[ziljin]

@TradingCardsDude Glad you like the sound effects. Thanks.

[Eragondaparagon]

pretty nice, i liked how in this one you put action and voices in. For a suggestion on your next video concerning videos, you should put some more enthusiasm in your voices. Like at 0:22-0:25, say it louder and with more enthusiasm. Just a suggestion. Other than that, it was great. The fact that you put the lion, crown and dragon knights together was a nice touch as well.

[ziljin]

@Eragondaparagon I think I need to use my webcam to record the voices because my digital camera seems to be bad at recording audio. Even if I scream into the camera it does not come out loud. I was trying to change up the voice. Yea I have so many minifigs I figure I might as well make use of them. And the series is called Brick Kingdoms implying several Kingdoms. I want to have as many to appear as I can. I might get some of the cheaper Ninjago sets to get Ninjas and alternate skeletons.

[Dragonfury23]

That was cool.. Haha :)

[ziljin]

@Dragonfury23 Thank you glad you thought it was cool and funny. =D.

[TFfanmaiku]

Awesome! Great job on the lips moving!!!

[ziljin]

@TFfanmaiku Thank you for noticing. Glad to hear I did good.

[OptimusSmyth]

Not saying your voice sucks, but you should hold auditions so people can help you with voices. Unfortunately I wont' be able to provide any voices for you at this time with college and all...

[ziljin]

@OptimusSmyth Okay. Well I make the dialogue up last minute so having auditions would cause massive delays. Doing all the voice work myself makes is much more convenient and easier for me.

[OptimusSmyth]

@ziljin

Eh, I didn't think about that. It's probably best to do it yourself now then. Do you also have any personal friends that could help you with it?

[ziljin]

@OptimusSmyth My cousin wants to do voice acting but he never responds to me whenever I contact him. And he lives in a different state.

[Yamsofdoom]

That was a pretty graphic battle scene. o_o;

[ziljin]

@Yamsofdoom Yea I guess I went overboard on the mutilation. I was thinking of adding some red studs as blood but I thought might be too graphic.

[soldier4670]

@ziljin I wouldn't worry about the fights being graphic, you should see the other brick videos like 'Lego Black Ops', heads explode... O_o

[ziljin]

@soldier4670 That guy uses clay right? I don't want anything touching my Lego except other Lego lol.

[TheRexstudio]

Awesome

[ziljin]

@TheRexstudio Thank you, glad you think so.

[domagoj905]

1st view!

[ziljin]

@domagoj905 1st reply!

[domagoj905]

@ziljin Awesome stopmotion btw. I like trollz better than humans. They kind of look cool like in Warcraft.

[ziljin]

@domagoj905 Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. Yea the trolls are sweet. Too bad they did not have extra faces. But at least I bought the Troll Mountain Fortress for the king and sorceress.
