[Rbrickfilm]

cool ! it made me think of the night at the museum..

[8391ace]

3:09 The sword sounds are actually from those Star Wars swords that make the same sounds when u push the button

[MrFerder]

I actually took the sword sounds from the game Warcraft 2. I guess there's a chance that they use the same recordings as the toy company.

[Kruelwanderer911]

@MrFerder I KNEW! those sword sounds sounded familiar haha. I love WC2

[72mine]

what are the chances that you make this before night at the museum came out.

[MrFerder]

Well this was made a couple of years prior to Night at the Museum's release, but before I made it there was an IMAX movie released called Back to the Cretaceous that was part of the inspiration (at least the dinosaur part anyway) and there is also a kids book about a museum coming to life (I've never read it). So I guess it's an idea that's been around for a while. I agree that the similarities between Night at the Museum and my film are uncanny though.

[lotr123o]

it is night at the museum

[polarlegoboy]

okay

[polarlegoboy]

it is like the night at the museam

[MrFerder]

@polarlegoboy Yes, I know! I made this a couple of years before that came out so I was pretty surprised at the similarities.

[cyberlego1994]

I loved this brickfilm, nice job man!

[swanprincess67]

thats really funny!!!

[slycooperfan240]

this was made in 5 months? how did you keep the lighting to stay the same? i can't keep light right for 5 minutets. :( p.s. what is your camera?

[MrFerder]

I used an old logitech webcam for the first part (before the magic happens) and an old analog Sony camcorder (with a analog-to-digital converter) for the rest. The Sony camera had automatic colour-balancing so that kept all the lighting looking the same. I was working on the film on and off for the five months, so I would usually do a big chunk at a time.

[EtniesRBeast90]

dat waz coolio

[coreyteen13]

Hi, MrFender, but where did you get that movie theater opening animation?

[coreyteen13]

MrFerder, i mean.

[dhara1463]

[2287sally]

[thingjob]

[thingjob]

Posted after still

[g00dn4m3st4ken]

i like when he is kicking the door to get out its funny lol

[SGTSAM101ST]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON YOUTUBE

[vleermie]

the fighting sounds at 3:09 are they from warcraft 2? and what kind of stop motion program do you use

[MrFerder]

Woah, good ear. Yes, the sounds are Warcraft. I used Anasazi Stop Motion Animator to capture the frames.

[boken88]

one of the best vids on here period.

[GAARAandHINATA4ever]

wow, that was terrific, i loved it!!!!!!

[PoolShark403]

how do u make them go fast like that?

mine is slow when i made it lol

[MrFerder]

It was shot at 15 frames-per-second using a program specifically for stop-motion animation.

[TheLegendaryZoard]

You do it with the same thingamabob* as I do! Do you use a Lego Camera too? Watch my videos!

*software

[Pawwwe]

That rocked bigtime!

Great!

[legonut4]

harry potter music?

[MrFerder]

Yes. It's "Hedwig's Theme" by John Williams from the first Harry Potter movie.

[mark456m]

love it! absolutely love it

[penguinntr]

looks like iut should be a video game lol

[DaLegomaster]

love the music

[ZephyrKitsune]

Awesome! I love how everything comes to life at night(Night At The Muesem reference)!

I am thinking about making my own stop-motion lego vids. to y'know...

[MrFerder]

Thanks. I made this in 2004 (a couple of years before Night at the Museum came out). It's amazing how similar they are though.

Good luck with the animating. Make sure use a good program that'll let you have smooth animation.

[coinman723]

how did u do the flash?

[MrFerder]

With a flashlight.

[d3cl4n04n1m4tor]

GREAT VID!

[nrgjak89]

amazing

[kidrobotuk]

Heehee the person who composed the music to this was also called Johnathon Williams : )

[motormeat]

Wow! What editing soft you use? WMM? Or Premiere Elements/Pro? That was cool. I have too lego films, but these are no cool.... But I have one under production...

I buy Premire Elements today ;)

[Zoot101]

very, very cool. 5 stars! how did you do the camera flash?

[MrFerder]

I think I used a flash-light. the sound-effect also helps sell the illusion.

[secretcola77]

cool!!

[fatdude2468]

It couldn't be because u added it this year and they started planing and filming in '06....

BUT A GOOD STOP MOTION!!

[Redgecko20]

awsome vid man...by the way...what program u use and how did u do that cannonball animation????

[MrFerder]

I used several different programs (like one for animating, and one for editing). The digital effects were created by a CG artist from Liverpool named Mathew (it says so in the credits) and I still have no idea how he did them.

[Metomunc]

I love this movie! Everything was REALLY good! You are one of the few good lego movie makers on YouTube. Way to go!

[rtanimations]

haha i loved it!

[boulderbreath]

that was cool , how did you do the intro and the outro with the movie cinema scenes? 3D?

[MrFerder]

I can't take credit for creating either of those shots (in fact I wish I had left them off the video before uploading it here). It was created using computer animation though.

[busha5a5a5]

i love stop motion legos

[rereturnsback]

What program did you use¿?¿?

Where did you get the sound effects like walking steps, the dinosaur, .....

[justinjustout]

GREAT!

[csolace]
