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!)

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 - LEGO Creator (3 in 1) - "Speed Boat"

Today I did another set build from the LEGO Creator set 31071. It has 109 pieces included in it and has 3 different ways to build. I started off with the Fighter Plane build and now I have moved onto the Speed Boat build. The spotlight and the giant fan on the back are easily my favorite part of this build. There were a few parts that I had actually never used before and it taught me a few ways to use them in the future.

Let's Build - LEGO City - "Jungle Starter Kit"

I'm back at it again with the Jungle theme from the LEGO City series. This time I did the "Jungle Starter Kit" which is set #60157. I had previously done the "Jungle Buggy" build and this one seems to have the same feel and characters. I really liked this set because I got a few cool things from it. I now have a camera piece that I can use which will be a great and fun addition when I am taking photos because I will be able to incorporate it into my photo shoots for even more inclusion. I also got a minifigure headpiece that has two facial expressions so I can use this when I want to change the mood of a character as the scene calls for. With all that being said, I tried to include some of the elements mentioned above in this shoot. Hopefully, you can see what I am talking about and will get as much enjoyment from it as I did putting it together and staging it.
