New and Improved Lego Build

[ufema]

Thank you to those who commented on my first video that I launched a month ago.  I started a new one today.  Preparing to knock it out of the park with new releases coming out in August.

[ufema]

I'd like to know your thoughts.

That's a big set!  Looks like a great play set as well!  Now I want it.

[Blackjack]

Great elapsed build.  It was fun to watch.

Love the dramatic music as the knife slices the stickers open.  Very nice video and really like they way you had the ship propped using the green & clear bricks.

I do enjoy the lack of pointless narration.

The stop-motion build progress was certainly nice to watch. I think if the clicking noise either was randomly pitched so that it did not sound exactly the same every time or the same as the sound effects they use for the Lego video games when putting something together, it would be less grating on the auditory nerves. My favorite part was the end honestly. :)

I like it.  

 

Just some little critiques, hopefully constructive:

 

At first, the interruptions from stop-motion to real-time where you're showing something adjusting or moving was kind of blah -- but by time you were done I was actually looking forward to them as something to break up the video a little.  Watching it a second time they didn't bother me a bit, good call on those.

 

I think it could use a little bit brighter lighting -- some of the build footage is well lit, some of it is a bit darker -- don't want so much light that it washes out colors and eliminates all the shadows, but just a touch more light would be nice.

 

It's been a while since I've done photography, but if there's any way to increase the depth of field on the focus a little, that would help.

Keep'm coming!

It's good, I like the tictictictic sound when it's building.

Music is good too.

 

Your videos are short and that's a good thing that some go straight to the goal.

 

I subscribe to your channel, and am curious to see some more.

Another try at improving my videos.

Looking good

Another try at improving my videos.

Great work there, ufema. I believe you have it down to a science now. I would definitely keep "The Unboxing" segment where you have all the bags with instruction manuals and sticker sheets laid out. Not only is it nice to see everything you are getting but it also helps whenever somebody has one of those "how many bags are in this set?" type of questions. It was a little funny (for some reason) seeing the minifigures just 'grow up' right next to the build. Haha. That fit well with the whole video; definite keeper.

Now as for the set, I did not know the wings could swing forward.

[Brick Lady]

Very cool! Fun to watch. I like that they are short too.

[MartinP]

Great videos. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[eferna]

Nice. Ok i gotta ask,  how do you guys make the video frame by frame?? It must take forever to make a video..

[LegoSteve]

That's pretty bad ass!  Great job.  You can tell that you take pride in your work.

[arobert125]

PAB can help create cool stuff.....

Good afternoon brick picker community.  I've been a member for just over a year now and I visit this site several times a day.  Since then I've successfully started an ebay store as a part time job.  Thanks to my wifes support I've decided to take my video business and produce some lego builds.  I just posted my fifth one today.  I'm looking for any feedback as we approach the arrival of the legendary Sandcrawler build.

Awesome video man, looks professional. Well done!

[jaisonline]

both videos are nicely done. 

i found the one containing the more popular set (steam roller) more interesting. 

star wars clone wars, meh.  i'm an original trilogy snob.  i almost fell asleep but the batman video woke me up.

 

more seriously, GREAT WORK.

 

when can we expect your first 1,500+ element set? 

 

note:

i LOVE the sound effects and wuld only suggest lowering the music vol.

[Darth_Raichu]

Nice vids.  A few honest feedbacks (most of them are just nitpicks based on my personal tastes):

- Cool opening/ending sequence

- Nice dramatic music

- Stop motion build is nice, plus pausing the stop motion to put things with your hands was a nice touch

- Shots of the finished set looked dynamic

 

Suggestions:

- Add maybe 1 more second to the shot of unopenned bags just to let viewers see the number of bags

- Pausing the stop motion to show your hand(s) should be kept to minimum when doing similar tasks.  i.e. the moving of 4 flabs on the corners of the submarine got repetittive after the 2nd pause.  Maybe just fast forward the shots of your hands for similar tasks.

[MartinP]

Awesome video. I like every aspect of it. I'm looking forward to see the Sandcrawler build.

[Jojoyojimbi]

does this magic movie machine thing work on bulk lots?  i've got a 140lb lot i'd mail you and pay you to run through the time machine you have to sort out the mega blocks and crap from, then build all the sets from the instructions that are included!

[Pseudoty]

Awesome job!!! Is it possible to take out the music just for a comparison? You can't just turn the volume down because then you loose the clicking sound which is great.

Can't wait to see the Sandcrawler build with some Star Wars music.
