Topic: Fighting minfigures

I want to make my new brickfilm today but I have a little problem... I want to make a little (sword) fight in it and I really don't know how! I already searched a long time for tutorials and found no one! I also tried to figure out myself how to make it but it was a big failure! Does anyone know a tutorial or anything?!

Re: Fighting minfigures

Anyone?!

Re: Fighting minfigures

Look at some of keshen's work ,use odd camera angles and keep the viewers entertained.

Re: Fighting minfigures

There's a pretty nice guide to shooting fight scenes here. It was on the old Brickfilms Wiki originally. Unfortunately, the animated images don't work in the PDF file, but here's the most important one.

Of course, at the end of the day you will have to come up with your own choreography and moves. Lots of test shots will help you with this.

Re: Fighting minfigures

I have still some things to say/ask. This is my set: http://i45.tinypic.com/2a7ej69.jpg Mr. Hassassin and Dastan are having a sword fight. I readed/read (or something like that) Errol's tutorial and I gained some experience about making a fight! but does anyone know a tutorial or anything about a fight with swords?!

Re: Fighting minfigures

I would make it larger so you have a better space to move them.

Re: Fighting minfigures

If that is a greenscreen backround, then you can't make camera movements or else it will look weird. The backround won't move untill the camera can see the edge. I suggest either a non-greenscreen backround, or just indoors.

EDIT: And I don't think the skeleton needs hair. mini/wink

And then when I get home the peanuts are the first thing gone so I go back and get more and the cycle goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on." -- Adam Young
