This is a project which took me three years to complete. It is an epic sci-fi adventure following LEGO classic space characters as they struggle with the cosmic and emotional turmoil of space. It was by far the most challenging and time-consuming project I have worked on, crafting the story, animation, music, and visual effects. To see the idea I had three years ago now fully manifested so close to how I imagined is beyond satisfying. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
please leave any questions on the making of the film in the comments and I will answer them. plus check out my Twitter for behind-the-scenes and news on future projects.

This is truely fantastic on so many different levels. A master piece. I can see how there is no compromise in production. The sound effect/music, the animation and the lighting (especially the explosions), the background (especially the starry sky), the props (the gore and all), the attention to details, all top notch. Absolutely wonderful absolutely enjoyable. I would love to see a follow up "the making of" kind of video. Ryan's helmet looks to be first generation, I was worry about its fragility while watching (and hole in the black torso was too painful for me to watch). I wonder why Lenny instead of Jenny got the pink suit though :) and the scene where Benny was floating into the second ship I thought he shouldn't be wearing the oxygen tank, or perhaps I was mistaken. Anyhoo it took a long time to make and it shows, the hard work paid off. Thank you for making this.

@chickenstudios8991 2 жыл бұрын

Wow thank you for your comment! Ive got a bunch of behind the scenes images and stuff but no clips, i may do a making of we will see. Making lenny pink i thought would be an interesting subversion since pink is usually a feminine colour though here he is the most masculine character. And yes there is a mistake with the air tank in space, which really annoying because him leaving the tank is very important to the story plus that shot took forever🥲. It is what it is, but im glad you liked it!

That was fantastic. I hadn't seen the separate parts before so I got to enjoy it as a whole movie and which I'm very happy about. I think 1plaintext pretty much said it all in his comment, lol. Some things in particular that I liked: - The action sequences. The exploding spaceship and the scenes leading up to it was very well done in particular. The tension really built up with each shot, which was great. - The music. Really added to the atmosphere and helped sell that tension. - The little jokes in the first parts. If anything, I would've liked to see a little more of that though I understand why, after Benny being shot out of the airlock and the spaceship exploding, there wasn't much room for funny scenes left, lol. - The monsters. They really do feel like alien monsters both in design (love the clay/LEGO blend) and the way they are animated. Great stuff.

As a film student currently studying VFX, I must congratulate the amount of effort that went into post. Easy enough to do in AE, true enough, but to go through all that trouble in every single scene: from the laser blasts, to the masking of the astronauts beside the mini-scale ships, all the way down to the subtle camera shake in the emotional scenes, all for a brickfilm, is serious dedication. One thing I will say is that one or two Dutch tilts could have been effective, especially in the scenes with Lenny, like the betrayal in part one. Would it have been so hard to elevate the sets on one side to achieve such an effect?

@chickenstudios8991 Жыл бұрын

Thanks man! I did all the effects on Hitfilm which is a bit simpler than after effects so some of it took forever. Glad you liked it tho. I did do a dutch tilt in the airlock scene although it was a bit brief. A-lot more in my next project i think, its a star wars thing but some tense moments.

What kit did you use to create the camera moves during animated shots? I think that some of the subtle camera wobble was added in post, but the big moves appear to be done in-camera. I also wonder about the lens. It focusses very well as close distances and gives a bright picture with shallow depth of field, and not too much distortion.

@chickenstudios8991 3 ай бұрын
