Re: What gets you Inspired to make a Brickfilm?

I useally make one after a watching or hearing something clever. I like seeing some of the intergrated films like from NathanWells or ZachMG and many others. I also get very inspired by Hazzat's films.

i listen to podcasts, and music. you can become truly inspired by sounds.
but mainly for me i watch movies and tv shows. brickfilms too,
you look at other peoples techniques and then you need to try it out.

Re: What gets you Inspired to make a Brickfilm?

I get inspired for comedy films by jokes that me and my friends made up. "The Haunted House" idea came from when me and my friends were waiting to get on a ride in Disneyland. I thought it would fit well in a movie and it worked out. I also get it from wathing movies as well, like the idea for "The Door Of Dreams" (which I'm still working on) came to me after watching Coraline, because it had a really nice, spooky touch to the film. mini/smile

I actually build minifigs and come up with a story for them. but the story could be from what ever I've heard/seen/smelled, as an example, Jealousy was based on a story a girl in my old class frote for school.

I do in a similar way to when I compose on the guitar, When I learn a song I learn techniques used in that song and keep them. With brickfilms I'm mainly influenced by TV and Films.

New film coming soon...

I'm on the same side as Lil'jj, I think up some small tidbit, then while I'm trying to fall asleep, I think of different scenes I could use, then when I wake up I know what I'm gonna animate.

Re: What gets you Inspired to make a Brickfilm?

Well, for me it's almost always music. Because whenever I hear a good song I think I must put footage to it.
And movies always do the trick too, I suppose. And just random times I think up epic shot of cinematography that I MUST film.
It is very random with me.

I get inspired by many things to make a Brickfilm. But there are very few things that motivate me (one of them is a contest and a deadline)

So here's the thing, I've A: Lost interest, and B: have no time to animate anymore. Expect little from me in the future. WIP projects have been pretty much abandoned and my LEGO collection is boxed up. No, you can't have it. mini/tongue But do not fear, I may return to it one day.

Re: What gets you Inspired to make a Brickfilm?

Anything really. I actually was listening to nickelback: far away and thought of making an animation about heroes. It turned into the start of fury of the sith. Also, as I was writing this, I had the urge to lie and say I had been inspired by something like pie, and, in the process, was inspired by pancakes. Watch out on my youtube (doghundredhound) for a pancake animation!
