Brick Builder Snarf

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!

Through the help of Stop Motion Studio I was able to learn how to create these little stop motion videos. This was a lot of fun to do but took a lot more time than I thought it would. It was frustrating at first but then I found out how to have the tools within the app itself and it became quite easy. Hopefully there will be more of this to come in the future!

Here is the time-lapse video to accompany the Let's Build I just did of the Jungle Starter Kit. I did this around 3:00am so you can see I am in my pajamas. I hope that doesn't deter anyone from watching and taking this video seriously (as seriously as you can take a LEGO time-lapse build video). As always, Enjoy!

Here is the time lapse build to accompany the "Let's Build" of the Speed Boat I published today. I'm still working on perfecting the lighting and quality of my videos, so bear with me and I'm sure you will see some improvements.

I finally took the plunge and ordered a 3-month subscription to the  Brixinit Box . I received this at the very beginning of May but I had not been able to open or review it because I've been swamped with work and gathering paperwork to buy our first house (there is so much involved with that, and working 3rd shift doesn't help!). So today I finally opened and reviewed the box so that newbies could see what all comes with the Brixinit Box. I was very pleased with everything that came with the box. It was a very simple and clean box without the extra bloat and "swag". This is for sure geared toward the older LEGO community members. That isn't to say that people of all ages wouldn't enjoy this box. I did a 3-month subscription which ran me about $87 for the Tier 1 box. There are different levels you may choose, but I kept it basic and simple the first time around. In the future, I am sure I will up my game when I have more free time and cash to spend (those ...

I recently picked up the LEGO Creator set #31071 which is a 3-in-1 build. It's orange so clearly, it was the first 3-in-1 that I decided to pick up and make content with. I started off with the Fight Plane (if that's the official name?) build and I plan to do the Speed Boat, and then the Helicopter (again, I don't know if that is their official names) build. It'll be great being able to creator 3 different sets of content with just one purchase! So, from this, I decided to make time-lapse for each different build that this set has to offer. Enjoy!

Finally got around to making another video. I've been going back and just doing photo shoots of past sets that I have built. I'm almost done archiving all of those, so going forward all of my content SHOULD  be accompanied by a time-lapse video. This build is of the "Jungle Buggy" set from the LEGO City series. It is number 60156. It was a SUPER simple build but the style of the Buggy made it very fun and rewarding to build. This was shot using my Google Pixel 2 this time instead of my Samsung NX1000, so the quality may be a bit different. Let me know what you think, Enjoy!

I have finally uploaded the time-lapse video for the "Speed Record Car" that I built this week. I included the original audio this time to give a more real feeling to the video. I somewhat enjoy the sounds of the LEGO pieces being moved and shifted around and I thought my viewers might as well. Enjoy!

I already have two videos of set building that I had created so I will post them here as a type of "archive". Going forward I plan to share one video at a time to help space out these posts. I'll get better at set building as well as video creating/editing, so bear with me in the meantime!

I've recently rekindled my love for building any LEGO. I've grown very fond of the communities (both young and old) that have been created by the LEGO enthusiasts. I've been following so many different people and watching so many different videos of people doing amazing things with these bricks that I wanted to do the same. Because of this I've decided to take matters into my own hands by creating my very own blog to share my own building ventures. Here you will be able to find photos, videos, and other related content to the world of LEGO and the building that goes along side it. If you're into this type of content hopefully you will stick around to see what type of crazy stuff is going to be shared here. Enjoy!
