I started to nod after a while at the beginning

[sonjiracentral]

I am not sure about you, but making a fire special effect on a paper surface does not seem like a good idea, unless you fancy getting your mom m9ore mad at you because you set your whole room on fire.

Any who, good video!

Is it safe to use explosives inside the house?

[119markus1]

How do you got your posters on large paper like on real movie posters, is it a website you can order from?

[JTDawson13]

I was wondering whether one of your tutorials is going to be on how to write scripts because I honestly dont know where to start.

[119markus1]

[benzijr]

Wouldnt the explosives destroy your lego guys.

you should make a sequel to pirates, where ruby is all grown up, and blackheart's descendants could attack.

[CamoNick561]

[Geertos13]

Really great :) You have the "home made, bluescreen, so you don't have a real chromakey programm ? So... What programm do you do the chromakey ? and, How to have a good lightning ?

[legosk8er92]

loved it! maybe this series can inspire me to try again at brickfilms and make a new short

[j3pfilms]

Thanks Doug, both your films were inspirational for my lego film The Blue Crystal. Wish I'd seen this before though :D

[xMercuryx56]

AWESOME I LOVE PIRATES

[MikeTheBlueBird]

Hi Doug I have to say Im a hug fan of both Pirates and American Outlawed. Erm can you reccomend a good animation program please? Thats the big problem I have because Windows Movie Maker is rubbish and since your animations are second to non i wouldnt mind some tips there. Thanks.

[KingofBionicle]

@MikeTheBlueBird i know windows moviemaker doesn't have frames per second--it has seconds per frame.

[TheDuckCow]

@MikeTheBlueBird If your on a PC, best way to go (for freeware at least) is with 'monkeyjam'. I've heard another called 'Helium Frog' has a chroma keyer, also free. If you're on a Mac, 'Frame by Frame' will do the job as a basic free-ware program, but better is (for a little money) 'iStopmotion', which has a built in Chroma-keyer effect, so no need for another program there.

Hope it helps,

PWC

fantastic, can't wait for the next episode

a great resource for me to make my films better
