For the film set: you should add a small crash mat, so that knight doesn't hurt himself during that fall

Maybe for the wheat field: - A scarecrow - A snake chasing a harvest mouse - A combine harvester (Please!) Film set = fantastic idea. I'm so invested in this ha. It's so very impressive

You won't get away without adding a combine, a tractor with a trailer and farmers to that half-harvested wheat field.

I have to say, turning the knight battle into a movie set was an absolute stroke of genius. A very clever way to both get some historical story-telling in a historical setting, but still keeping it within the timeframe of the rest of the town. I absolutely LOVE this idea!

I think a cool idea would be one or two knights in chairs with phones or coffee cups, because theyre on break

A suggestion concerning the Keep... not only shoud it be higher, it should also be bigger in circumfence. As the Keep was not only the last defence for the Lord of the castle, his family and servants, it was also the safe haven for the peasants from the surrounding farms, that were under the Lord's protection! There had to be chambers (with sleeping arrangements) to house everyone (the Lord and his family, the servants, the peasants, the soldiers, etc.), seprated dining areas, kitchens and pantries, an Armory, corridors to connect everything, a general assembly area and more of the like. As an indicator for the size you'd be looking for... Take the current keep, raise it by 30 to 50% and that at least times 4 (square floorplan) or perhaps even 6! (witha rectangular floorplan)! This whole project looks amazing I'd love to see what's next! Happy building! 👍

So much amazing progress and so many cool techniques showcased in this video and yet the big standout for me was the recently harvested part of the wheat field... Sometimes it's the little things that really make the difference for world building

a tractor harvesting the wheat would really sell that chopped up look

That staircase is perfect for Legolas sliding down on a shield 😂

I kinda like the fun dynamic of seeing the castle guys from the outside and thinking “oh hey, it’s just some guards doing a little battle”, only to come around to the back and realize “oh!! It’s a film crew! That’s fun!”

Another idea for the minifigs in the Castle could be archeologists or historians doing some sort of field research or surveying of the castle's remains, and/or a field trip of younger kids. The movie set is interesting, but feels a bit on-the-nose to me. Overall I love it though! Love the idea of the wheat partially-harvested, and would love to see a combine nearby!

Making the castle into a film set to make the knights fit in honestly is a stroke of genius. I love the idea.

POV farmers when they hear that people dont have enough money for bread:

Looks amazing as always :) Maybe an idea: Add a part where they're harvesting the field that moment (like adding a wheat harvester, tractors etc)

I like it how the film crew is hidden/blocked/in the keep. Seeing the medieval soldiers fighting makes you ask "Why are they fighting" -- through exploration, you find the film crew!

Love the update as always. Always super exciting and fun to watch. Honestly usually one of the best parts of my week (and my sibling's week too for that matter)! Three suggestions: 1. I think to be more realistic you should expand the film crew a little bit. Add tents, maybe a food area, and most certainly a director's chair for some ideas. 2. Make the Castle Keep larger, and taller. Maybe put it back further and have the castle "disappear" off the build. It'd allow for a more realistically sized Keep. 3. Add farmers harvesting the wheat. It'd be much more clear what that area is, plus, it would be a nice addition since it'd be so close to the viewer.

Just some thoughts: -The towers of the castle should have doors (or empty archways) where they meet the walls. -The wheat field looks cool but also a bit too uniform, maybe move the scarecrow into the middle of it, and make a few small "harvested wheat" patches to simulate some dead stalks and to break it up. Maybe for the big harvested section, you could make the edge less straight/blocky and put some farmers in there with baskets and scythes actively harvesting it.

You could make the castle keep wider as well as taller to it more presence, as well as having walls coming off it to the main walls to create a seperate inner section of rhe castle for a last stand. Also, including an attacking camp witj seige equipment made from cutting down the nearby trees and having some skirmishing or rienforcements from outside the castle, could also look really good.

A guided tour group at the castle would be really nice too. Especially if some of the kids snuck away and were spying on the film set.

I think that having the film set inside of the castle is better, as it kinda hides them and makes it a surprise to see. It would be a nice twist for people seeing it for the first time, as from the outside you can only see the knights

What an enormous field and beautiful castle. Thanks for this video, you deserve your more recognition!! 👍👍

I've never seen a City like yours, in the whole KZfaq. Congrats you are the best by far 👏

That castle is coming together beautifully! If you’re looking to build out the scene some more, every pro film set needs a well-stocked Craft Services table.

This man is clinically insane. It’s incredible that you have this much motivation to do what you love and have 5 billion legos at your disposal to do so. Keep up doing what you love.

Just for me and my other Scottish viewers can you add a bagpiper in the castle grounds also put a combine or a tractor harvesting the wheat

I've been watching for 2 years now, crazy how much has changed. Keep up the amazing work!

this is truly the best lego city ever. i’d recommend adding some ivy or vines on the castle walls like you did on the abandoned factory

this is one of my favorite updates so far, every bit was just beautiful and the film crew might be my favorite story addition. I had quite a sad night and i thank you for brightening it truly. much love as always

Wow the castle is really coming together! I'd love to see some booths or a small market on the inside

The city is looking great. The castle is coming along nicely. The filming crew is a excellent addition to it.

Brickcrafts, I have an idea. In the newly built wheat section, you should make a tractor with a tilling thing on the back to make the field come to life, like it just harvested the area you made shorter. Maybe even a barn too!!

The construction crew in the house is such a great idea, it gives an in-world explanation for the small holes in the floor lol

Love these update videos, looking amazing! A suggestion for the wheat field: Place them on large tiles so that you can swap a fully grown field for a harvested field or a ploughed field more easily. That way, if you want to change the season for your scene, you don't spend hours removing one and putting another in its place. It'd also allow you to play with the underground color a bit, like turning it brown for the ploughed field.

ive been watching for a year, never had anything bad to say about any update, KEEPT IT UP

the leaves on the field design is amazing! and the castle gives me dark fantasy vibe

So impressive, as always! I love the film crew - such a great way to combine the times. For such a tall mountain, maybe instead of (or in addition to) the ski area, it needs an astronomical observatory

you should add a combine harvester on the part of the wheat field where the wheat's already been harvested!

For the cultivated field you should add a tractor that is harvesting the crop. For the castle I think you should add an open door or fortify the walls near the entrance, because it's a bit empty. Anyway, fantastic work, I can't wait for the next video.

Wonderful idea to add a film set!! I think you should add a dirt road up the mountain to the castle entrance, as that'll also give the film crew a way to have access! Maybe add a couple cars too?

"Fine story telling, if you ask me." Haha. No arrogance at all. Love it. I haven't seen this done before. The progress is amazing.

what you could do to add height to the castle keep is a wooden structure on top, as was fairly common to have. with a sloped roof to protect any archers on top from plunging fire as the arrows would have been fired upwards, and thus coming down again from above to reach up to them. it would also add some contrast for the build with the browns of wood to break up all the mostly gery of the stone

I love ur lego world. Keep up the great work🔥

Wheat field could have a couple of workers with scythes harvesting the wheat. It would make for a neat bit of storytelling.

The idea that the castle battle is just some film crew shooting their own version of "monty python and the holy grail" or something, is brilliant! As an amatuer filmmaker myself, I approve.

Please add Van gogh in the field!

I just recently visited a castle... I have a good idea. You could make a hole in the hill by the wall of the mountain, and make an interior for a little dungeon!

Love the idea of the castle being used to film a movie. Moving them outside can create a new story where they’re defending the entrance from the attackers

Honestly, i love how dense the forest is. I appreciate the amount of work it takes to do the tedium of building it, but imho i think its so worth it to build these vegetation vistas as they really complement the scale of the builld

Plz add a cathedral!! it would add so much!😊

My favorite channel is back.

"So, how many 'illegal' Lego techniques have you employed to build your megaproject?" "Yes."

I LOVE the updates in this video, the film crew was such a genius move. I went to a hand-worked farm recently and in the middle of their corn field, there was a big oak tree and small clearing for picnics and stuff that you had to find your way through the corn field to get to. Not the most practical for efficient agriculture, but it could be a good way to break up the monotony of the wheat and add some nice detail close to the museum viewers. Also I think a hiking path from the town to the castle might be an easy way to tie the sections together a bit.

Commenting so bots can’t get the top comment

For the inner castle keep, add a secondary ring beneath the tower and make it larger. This will help keep the grounds from feeling empty.

The film set is such an inspired way to include lego knights without ruining the immersion of a modern-day lego city, I love it!!

i agree with the other comments about adding a scarecrow, but also its just so touching that youre able to do community events to build with viewers! i think thats really sweet. i love the way the wheat field turned out with the little harvest area, but i was the most excited for the castle to finally show up. putting a movie set on the inside was the last thing i expected, but its the most darling thing ive ever seen!

A suggestion concerning the castle is to enlarge the gatehouse. It should at least be a tower for an improved defense system. The keep should also be upgraded and include residential and storage space. English medieval Keeps are great inspiration for such project. Btw great video, keep up the good work!

I’m not sure how practical it would be, but I think a miniature castle would be interesting so the directors can block out where they want shots to go. I also think a clothing rack with tons of tunics and such could be interesting, and maybe a refreshment table for the staff. Also the signature directors chair could be neat if it’s possible to build one of those.

If you have a field that is only partially harvested, you absolutely should add a tractor that is in the process of harvesting, and i genuinely still think a very small vignette of a bear with a beehive being chased by bees would be hilarious

The support structures behind the mountain could feature a very meta scene of some LEGO kids exploring it with flashlights, slowly realizing their entire world is artificial, even the mountains.

FINALLY a new video! I've been following you for 2 years now and everyday I wait for the notification:) THANK U

The keep really needs to be bigger - taller and wider. It’s not just a tower, it was used for food storage, housing the lord and his clan, and protecting the entire village from invaders on occasion. It would also be cool if you did a secret dungeon or crypt under the tower too

Seeing the castle in the background from behind the mountain really made me realise how massive this project actually is. Like, I know it's big, but sometimes while being zoomed in on one section, you lose track of just how much stuff there really is

"the king of my castle" , that was the song i was thinking about last few days. thank you !!!

i love the film set. I would really expand on that idea with some caravans/trailers for the stars, maybe a catering tent, a director with monitors for playback etc. awesome build!

I'm SO glad you didn't stick with just a knight battle in the castle, good thinking adding the film crew!! Fits the time period so much better!

Man I haven't watched you in a couple of months, but I came to watch this one as it appeared in my recommended. And boy will I tell you I was shocked at how much has changed in the city! Amazing work, keep it up!!!

Your videos are THE MOST ANTICIPATED videos of all my youtube subscriptions!

love the film crew tying in the knits and castles into the modern day

I’ve been subscribed to your channel for about a year now. You are quite remarkable. Your attention to detail is amazing. I see you get a lot of comments/recommendations for what you should do to enhance it, but I think you know exactly how you want each section to develop. Love it when you kick off the shoes and hop up on the display to piece each area together. I look forward to more videos.

The amount of work you put into this is incredible! And the progress amazes me every time. There is a lot of extra potential in the forest imo. Wildlife, lumber industry (or just 1 guy), hunters/huntercamp, a small forest fire, campfires, berrydeposits etc. Such things would make it feel more and more allive, which is something you really want right :D

I’d love to see a mini recreation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You could have a knight with a guy following him with two coconut shells :)

I had been following for a while and I can confidently say this channel has the most impressive building techniques I’ve ever seen, I always look forward to new episodes

This is the craziest project I've ever seen.

A story telling idea for your wheat field would be to have a harvester in the field. I love all the little details.

Fantastic update! I would love to see a catering crew and more actors preparing to do their part. Maybe even someone in medieval costume on the cell phone with his or her agent? As always, I learn something new each time I watch your updates!

I really love the idea of a film crew being there its super cute, would be really cool if you had a trailer parked somewhere for the crew/actors to get ready at and relax in-between filming

I like the vineyards beside the castle, but it is only visible from 1 side angles. Your Lego city is amazing, I love how it keeps expanding and your attention to detail.

Looks incredible as always! Love how the lights are coming along. I’m piling on a bit but agree with many of the comments below. Adding a scarecrow with some crows around him, and some harvested wheat still on the ground with a tractor would add a few stories to your wheat field.

Every upload makes me so happy. My poor ass can live my Lego dream vicariously through you. Amazing work as always.

I’ve been watching this series for a little over a year now and I love how you take viewer feedback and often implement it in your next video, it makes the whole building process so much more exciting to watch!

You know it's a good day when Brickcrafts posts a new Lego City update!

Please consider adding texture to the hills, like mud patches, and rocks here and there, basically add more nature and variety, so it's not all just a green blob.

A harvester in the field with mowing lines would look really cool amongst the tall wheat fields!!

Add a scarecrow in the wheat field and other elements to help break up the monotony. Eg: farm equipment, pathways and fences, another wind mill to mill the wheat into flower, etc. Also, wooden buildings in the castle, like a stables or blacksmith's workshop.

You should add a tractor in the wheat field -- it would bring it to life even more! ❤

You know I think Wayne manor with the Batcave underneath it, would be cool so that way you're lego city has a protecter from crime.

I've always had a fascination with the lego castle sets dating back to when I was about four, so the castle moc is so cool to me

I’d like to see more with the film set, it would be a great way to populate the castle! You could easily make a whole quick video just on the film crew and actors. You could fill it with trailers, cable crews, blue screens, a prop locker, makeup artists, directors chair, studio cameras, you could even put the official Lego Steven Spielberg minifigure there

decorative siege weaponry would look so cool with the castle build, a few cannons, maybe a trebuchet or some ballistae would be so awesome and probably quite fun to build !!

Few small ideas for the forest. I don't know how big it is but would be nice to have: - more ruins with some archeology site - a family or some scouts camping in some areas of the forest, - a continuation of the mafia story you started in the city - a wood watch tower with a ranger searching for illegal hunter. Don't fill the place too much, it's nice to have a wide green area but a bit of life in it would be really cool.

that Camera Crew is absolutely genius I love it

Love how the castle is coming, and the lighting is amazing. Crop circle and alien abduction in the crop field could be really fun. Just an idea, your build is AMAZING, so so so so cool. Keep up the great work :)

All that framework looks like you're halfway through building a supervillain base in the mountain!

Another fantastic update. Every one is a winner. Castle looks amazing.

Regarding the castle keep I want to clarify something: A keep (common in western europe) is a defensive living structure often equipped with towers at its corners. A "bergfried" (common in central europe) is solely military and can not be used as a living space. Castles with a bergfried also have a "palas", intended as the main living space of a castle. They are not the same thing. Fun fact: The word "palas" is the origin of the English word "palace" and the German word "palast".

As someone who works in the film industry, I think it'd be really cool to add all the tents and trucks that go with making a film. Also that's not what film industry gimbals look like, but it might be even cooler to add a dolly and the track to go with it? I love the lights that you have there, but they'd need a generator! I'd put a crash pad under the knight who's falling -- He's gonna get hurt without something there!! Oh and some people need to be working that prop table! I feel like even student films normally have like 10 crew members for every actor. Let's get some wardrobe people and racks of clothes going! The guy with the microphone could be the director or the AD, but you totally need some producers/etc sitting in chairs and a couple of monitors. Maybe a script supervisor with a copy of the script. Oh and Craft Services (food) is literally a MUST crews will straight up revolt without food. Maybe some scenic artists, set dressers, etc getting some other part of the castle ready? Usually films do a lot of work on a location to make it fit the story, they could be like hanging banners or something. If you really wanna go for it, lights and camera equipment are normally stored in some sort of box truck. Oh yknow what could be cool? You could use some lime green tiles and make it look like theyve put up greenscreen or blue screen somewhere! Oh and crew members on set usually wear a lot of black, sort of a culture thing, sort of a "don't show up in reflections" thing. Sorry I got excited!

Can't wait to see that combine harvesting all that wheat

Moat of the impressivst lego mocs you can imagine. Awesome. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are the most relaxing things to watch for me after work. It's amazing. Thanks a lot !
