Topic: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

Hi, there, I noticed that brickfilming tutorials don't really have a place to live here on BiM, so this topic was created for just that purpose. Welcome to the "Brickfilming Tutorials Thread". Here, you can post your brickfilming tutorials. You can also give feedback on the tutorials and maybe request tutorials. But please keep tutorial requests to a minimum. When posting your tutorial, please follow a couple of easy formatting rules to keep the topic nice and neat. mini/wink

Here's an example:

Tutorial Name

Link

Optional Description

Category: (Pre-production, Production, or Post-production)

If you want to post a tutorial that you did not make, please make sure that the original author has already had a chance to post it. If they have had time, but have not, or are not an active member of Bricks in Motion, then you may post their tutorial on their behalf.


Here is a list of posted tutorials:

Beginner Tutorials

Pre-production

Production

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

@Gentrystudios, Thanks, I hope it will help people find tutorials a lot more easily. mini/smile

If nobody minds, I'll post the first couple of tutorials:

___________

Animating Long Shadows

YouTube

This tutorial explains how to animate shadows on a wall using stop-motion animation. You may have seen me use this technique in my latest brickfilm Journey to the Centre of Time.

___________

Removing Set & Camera Bumps in Post-Production

YouTube

If you're an animator, you have experienced it. The evil set/camera bump. For the average animator, this could spell disaster for the video and for the animator's sanity, but you're not the average animator. You are watching this tutorial to learn how to remove those dreaded set/camera bumps from your footage digitally. Watch and learn, animators!

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

Do we share our own tutorials or can we post others?

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

Thanks for asking! I added a paragraph about it in the topic post:

I actually had another tutorial in mind to post (How to Remove Light Flicker in VirtualDub), but it belongs to ENDfilms, so I didn't want to post it for him. If he doesn't post it in a few weeks or so, I'll probably post it for him. mini/smile

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

I can't remember where it is, but there was that tutorial on how to remove light flicker (with the VirtualDub plugin). I'll go look for it, but I might as well post it here in case someone else knows right where that is.

That is the one I was referring to in the post right above yours. I wasn't going to post it, because I am giving ENDfilms a chance to post it, because it's his tutorial.

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

A week before this thread began, I just revised The Holding Our Own Guide to Brickfilming.  It's a 68-page book in pdf format, and I demonstrate, through my own experiences and using examples from TV, movies and literature, techniques and tips for every step of the process of Lego animation.  This is my thank you gift to BiM for all the help they've given me along the way.  I tried to make it both as entertaining and informative as possible.

You should go into advertising. mini/tongue

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

i think i did a topic like this before, but, glad one is up and running. so:
How to rain on lego
and a older one:
adding shadows after masking.
what do you guys think of the first tut there? more interesting then the second?

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

I haven't really been around here in a while, but wasn't the Resources section created for users to post guides like this? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, as this seems like a good idea.

Alas, I think that's something I'm really bad at.

I'll add those to the list above, but maybe you should put at least a category, so others will be able to find it more easily. The first would be production, and the second post-production, right?

The resources section isn't used very much, and is rarely updated. I think that this is much easier to use, because Bricks in Motion is mostly a forum, so it is easier for people to post things on the forum than in Resources. This topic is more of a list of tutorials, not the tutorials themselves.

@rioforce, yes, that would be 100% correct.

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

This is a great thread. Thanks for starting it, rioforce. Perhaps the links to the tutorials would also fit well in the resources section of BiM?

Re: The Brickfilming Tutorials Thread

Or, even a link to this thread.  Maybe, if RioForce wishes to maintain the thread, he could cut & paste all the resources at the end of the first post as they are announced here.  ???
