So I made a stop motion video for my design studio class

I'm doing the same thing for my Animation college class.

This was very well done, the story, sound and all the little details were great :D

Not to be *that* starfish, but if you were interested in doing more, here's a couple things you should work on next time;

• You should try to up the frame-rate to 24/25, because that way you're going to a lot smoother animation.
• Definitely make sure your camera is stable.
• Did you do any forward planning for this? One of the biggest things we learn in our class is about keyframes, inbetweens and charts. Basically, pros will plan out the entire animation in drawing first, and then use their planned animation as a guide for how things in LEGO move. You don't even need to draw fantastically, so long as you've got a good idea of what motion each character should take.
• One thing you should add is "anticipation". You'll notice in a long of animated movies, before the character performs an action, they'll actually swing the opposite way and essentially tell the audience what they're about to do. For example, a character who is about to run will usually lean back for a second and then launch themselves.

Thanks for the suggestions. I only had a few days to do it which is why it wasn't as good as it would  have been.

Nah, using Hero Factory sets and college equipment (blue/green-screens, running rigs, walking rigs, camera tracks etc).

Do you use clay at the bottom of their feet so they don't fall over?

[Lego lad]

that was actually pretty good

i wish you had a non-room background, but other than that it was good

Fantastic credits

Actually, I build a rail using those 1x16 bricks which have the technic holes in the walls, and then I use the black pegs to keep them standing. Amazingly, because of their large feet, it works perfectly. Then I simply have a sheet of green screen cover the rail.

The problem with clay is that it would probably melt or crack under the studio lights.

Sounds like you're doing some serious stuff. This was just a project for my grade 11 high school class. Do you have a youtube channel that I can check out your animations from?

Not yet, since this is my first stop motion (and the college's) and the only stuff I've posted are private test vids. I'll let everyone know when I've got something decent to show.
