Since I receive questions from emails and video comments continuously... I decided to answer ten of the most common ones. If you have a question that was not answered, leave it in the comments below.
If this video is well received, I will create more behind-the-scenes videos in the future, with some going a lot more in depth. Positive or negative, please let me know what you think.
Also, the brand names and products in this video are not associated with me in any way. They do not endorse or support me, and I mentioned them strictly to inform you of my current equipment.

***** Stop motion would be really difficult to do with all the people jumping, bricks breaking, expressions, etc. That would be like couple of years to do. Though I did see a video and post that the Lego Movie 2 should be out in 2018. That's just a rumor though I think.

I do stop motion! My answers: 1. I do 10 fps but am uploading one with 15. 2. I use a wimpy one...the iPad. I'm uploading one that uses a Microsoft LifeCam. 3.I usually use an app called LEGO movie but I'm uploading on that uses stop motion pro v8. 4. Use a camera mount you will need: 2 2x4's and 1 2x6 or 2x8. 5. Pull the blinds down and turn the light on. Otherwise, I agree with you. 6. Experimenting... 7. I use a process called 'rig removal.' It works like a virtual eraser! 8. Many. O_O 9. It took me about 1-2 hours to make a 7 second film at 15 fps (I'm a beginner!) 48. LOOK AT MY DOG!! 10. Well...start doing videos about something that you like and then other people will find them. Also, please don't be the one who watches your videos.

Thanks for sharing this. My son is 4 and he loves watching your videos. He has gotten old enough for LEGO and he and I enjoy building stuff together and playing. Then I got interested in trying to make my own videos for fun. I think it would be a good experience to show my son how it’s done so he can eventually do it himself if he wants.
