Idea For New Content

Brick-Venture?

So I've been thinking of finding a new way to create some interesting content. My "Let's Build" and "Time-Lapse" videos only reach to certain interest groups and I know it isn't for everyone. I was thinking of collecting some Minifigures and beginning to take pictures of them out in the real world. I have seen many LEGO Photographers do projects like this while out and about in their daily lives. It's sometimes fun to pose a minifigure in a real-life setting and see what sort of crazy shots you can take with them.

I feel this would a great way to share the love of LEGO in a real-life setting while giving some insight as to what my wife and I do in our daily lives. It might seem childish but this whole blog is somewhat dedicated to the quirky and childish craft of LEGO and bricks in general.

If this is indeed something I go forward with, be on the lookout for LEGO minifigures in crazy places doing some silly things. And be sure to check them out on the update "Pages" on the blog to see when new posts have been added, and to look back at previous "Brick-Ventures". 

(Brick-Ventures was the best name I could come up with to describe the misadventures that these minifigures will be going through!)

Stop-Motion Build - LEGO City - Airshow Jet

After learning how to create stop motion videos today I decided to up my game and create my first Stop-Motion build video. This took quite a bit of time but the pay off was well worth it. This 43-second clip probably took me about 2 hours to shoot. I have a long way to go, that's for sure. I need to master a lot of lighting techniques and movement techniques still. But that's half the fun and you guys will get to watch the content become better over time. Enjoy!

Let's Build - LEGO City - "City Pizza Van"

Here is a build that I did a while ago before my craze of capture content started. This set was actually a gift my wife bought me one night. She has gotten herself a Disney Princess castle to build and I got this set to build. It is set item #60150 ( you can see it on the front and back bumper. I like clever code placement like that) and contain 249 pieces.  I do not have a time-lapse video to accompany this build since it was done a while ago. Going forward I'm going to try and capture all builds though. Enjoy!

Let's Build - 3rd Party "bricks" - Mr. Universe Van

I've always been a huge fan of Steven Universe and when I saw that there was a series of LEGO knock offs dedicated to the show I was super excited. I didn't mind that it wasn't LEGO brand, because there are a lot of decent 3rd part "brick" products (and I'm a Brick Builder!) So I figured this set wouldn't be too bad. Eventually, I was gifted this set by my wife because she knew I love the show, I love LEGO, and (hopefully) she loves me.   I went into this build thinking it was going to be extremely easy. Boy was I wrong. The finished product is nice and it is still themed to Steven Universe, but the journey to get there was awful. None of these pieces like to stick together, there are about 4 different colors for white, the gray are too similar and can be used in the wrong spots, and the stickers we're super difficult to apply (you can see where I ripped a few).  I'm not saying I don't appreciate this as a gift and that I like the finished prod...
