Advanced Lighting for BrickFilms (Behind the Scenes of "No One Understands") 

I never noticed that groot and Hordor were not in the room, good editing!

thanks a lot. great tutorials. i hope i can be great stop motion artist one day :)

Thanks for "shedding some light" on your process... Love the BTS vids

Wow man. I'm super impressed with your lighting abilities. Lighting is always a good chunk of what goes into a production, and I think you nailed it. It really went well with the mood of the scene. Keep up the amazing work!

I really enjoy your behind the scenes videos and appreciate the effort that you put into them (as well as the brickfilms themselves of course) they are super helpful to a budding brickfilmer :)

This is fantastic! Perhaps the most interesting and helpful BTS you have released! This will be really helpful in making my own videos! I also really like the Color Correcting one. Can't wait for that Avengers one!

you are so talented, I love stop motion and I get ridiculously excited every time I see one of your new videos thank you for what you do.

You're very creative. I love watching your behind the scenes videos, please keep them coming.

Hi! I'm a huge fan! Your videos have been inspiring me always when I've felt that I'm too horrible at making Lego Stop-Motion videos! I don't even have a tripod so my biggest problem this far has been unstable shooting and blurry pictures! You've always manage to get me practice more and more and not quit! Thanks a lot! Thanks for great inspiration!

This is great. Thanks for sharing. The lighting is proving to be a huge obstacle in my shooting.

I'm amazed by all that work ! Keep it up lego dude

This was really instructive. I think I'll try some of these techniques on my next video. Thanks so much for continuing to share your tips and tricks. They're both interesting and a good motivator!

Great tutorial, thanks! I asked for this a while back. I always have a little bit of trouble with lighting and cinematography in my brickfilms, this helped a lot! :-)

You guys are so freak'in AWESOME. Thanks again for that tutorial on lighting. Trying to find the right balance for a night parking lot scene with lego zombie nurses heading into work... this gave me some ideas!

The sets them self you make are already a master peice next the movies are

Thank you that was very informative. Great job I always enjoy all of your films

This looks amazing im so trying this out! For my stop motions!

Superb! Behind the scenes are always neat.

I also did a bunch of on set lighting for the bunches of glowing potion shots in We the Pumpkins Three. For one shot with a cauldron I couldn't find a way to hide the wiring, so I just masked it out in post. I need to get more fancy lights, though. Have you ever thought of getting some bulbs of a more neutral hue? I feel like your lighting would benefit from it in a few cases which aren't meant to be warmly lit.

Thanks for an excellent video.

I was just planning on making my next animation but I couldn't get the lighting right, but this really helped, Thanks so much :D

Its amazing how much detail there is in on video!! I love it !! ;-)

Beautifully done.

All I can say is COOL, and Creative!!

You're work is SOOOOO awesome keep going!!!!!

You guys are so cool your way better than I'll ever be!

Very helpful tutorial! Thank you!

dude you are awesome, thank you for doing this videos

Where do you get your LEDs from?

Brotherhoodworkshop you inspired me to make animations and try to go full out thx

You have serious skills dude! Keep up the great work! :)

This video was very helpful. I loved making stop motions and putting on RU-vid. I've always kinda had trouble with certain lighting, some bcuz I use an iPhone to make all of mine, but people don't even notice cuz I work really really hard to make em look legit. Anyways, this video helped me a lot.

Thank you! I love your videos! :)

This is really helpful :D do more of these

awesome work.

AWESOME!

Man I think "How does he do this?", then I realize it's the most simplest thing to do. That's why I love your films.

Nice vid! You just keep getting innovative! I would love to see the Avengers teailer in Lego and the little bit you've shown on the end looks amazing! By the way, are there going to be more Harry Potter videos any tims soon?

Outstanding!

DANG!!! Awesome video!!! :D

Hi, when you composite is that frame by frame or film clips, because I don't quite understand what's going on there??

This helps a lot! Thanks!!

Hey Brotherhood Workshop! I've just got a PC and I'm going to be using it for my BrickFilms. I was just wondering if you knew any good free green screen/special effects software. I'm going to download the trial for After Effects to see how I go, but if it don't buy it, I would like a free alternative to it. By the way, your BrickFilms keep getting better and better!

wow soo much work!

Woah, this is cool!

awesome lighting tutorial

Now I understand how much time you spend to make these videos! :O

Awesome vid.

Hi BrotherhoodWorkshop! I am trying to improve the lighting in my videos and this video helped me a lot. I currently use 2 desk lamps and a small piece of paper to bounce light as my lighting set up, but I sometimes get shadows in the top corner of my scene. Do you recommend using a three point lighting set-up? And another question, what lightbulbs do you recommend I use? I currently use energy-saver Cool White lightbulbs, but are there better ones out there?

Good example the conversation scene, it gives some ideas!

This is very interesting!

Great Video !! You make it seem so easy !! Would you say that the types of lighting you use is what contributes to the final video quality we see ? LED lighting only ? Please do a video on After Effects ....I'm sure it will be Awesome !!

when i watched the original one i didnt even know hodor and groot were composited. incredible

I Love your tutorials 😉

First of all, want to say I love all of your videos. Secondly, where do you get your LED lights?

Cool tip on the creation of shadows for the characters :-)

Thank you for posting the behind the scenes, when are you approximately thinking on releasing the Death Star battle you recorded? And can you do a detailed tutorial of lighting position?

You're doing great with all the stop motion animation! I'm creating a stop motion videos too, and I have a question. How do you connect your camera to your laptop(that you can take pictures instantly on dragonframe)? My camera is SAMSUNG nx3000, so, is it even possible to connect that kind of a camera?

Dear Brotherhood workshop, I am an animated as well, and this video helped me a lot :) but for lighting I only have 1 lamp, do you have any suggestions on how to amplify its intensity?

Your the best! Your my inspiration 😂 no pun intended, but yeah, your kid friendly, your videos are great, and when explanation something, it's easy to understand

Avengers age of ultron trailer nice

3:06 mind blown

Wow thanks!

Will you check out my bigrickmachine 2015, I used a couple of your After Effect tips in it, thanks :)

Your an artist.

I love you channel!

you always have good background buildings, or the inside of buildings. where do you get the bricks? do you use houses of some sort that are prebuilt, or just making them, if you do make them, do you buy extra bricks?

awesome!

YAY! Age of Ultron trailer coming soon!

Nice!

Wow man you are awesome.

Do you use optical flares (VC) sometimes?

Thank you very much for the tips :-D

Thanks. Very informative.

What lights did you used? I mean are these special lights for LEGO models like LifeLites or normal LEDs like you get in electro shops or whereever?

where did u get those led lights at I wanna some for my upcoming brickfilm

Dude this is awesome! I was wondering, how do you get part of a movie into your videos (like at 1:13 with Han and Chewie) without worrying about copyright issues? Anyone please respond...

Cool!

Hi Brotherhoodworkshop! I've been building a lot and planning to make a recreation of a ship battle in the movie "Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World". There's this big scene where they both fire on each other, but there's a big distance between them. So I want to use green screen, but I'm totally not known with it. Do you have any recommendations about the scene, like programms that are cheap or anything else? Thanks anyways!

what kind of paper do you use to defuse the white light. I like the look.

What’s the video editing software on your pc

I love seeing stuff falling over or down while you're filming... You must have one heck of a lot patience. RESPECT But just between me and you: are you freaking out sometimes, too? ;)

Very cool. Where can I get those little LED lights?

Cool BTS! Do you know any cheaper and nearly as good alternatives to after effects?

That was quite informative. Can't wait for that Avengers video though.

Nice War In The North shirt, i didn't know they had those

Epic shirt!!!!

What editing software do you use to crop in characters?

how do you do the laser effects in your older starwars videos??? and lightsabers???? I really need too know?!?!?!? thanks!!!

You're smart. Subbed

Wow cant wait to see that avenger video :)

Question: it's easy and long to make videos or stopmotion?

Dude seriously..Can i work with you in the future when I finish my high school? hahaha..oh..and..OMG IS THAT A PREVIEW OF AVENGERS TRAILER IN LEGO?YOURE MAKING IT?!! OMG!!!*died on nerdgasm*

what lights do you use for your lego videos?

More excited for tht ultron trailer you made than for the movie lol

What program do you use for video editing all the composites?

i hope to be well equiped one day to make awesome videos like yours.

I was wondering if you would do anything funny about the death of Thorin in the battle of the five armies because the way that he dies it's so ridiculous!! Great video too!

Thank you for this tutorial Are you going to make a new Guardians of the Galaxy video after the age of ultron teaser?

Hey brotherhood workshop, I've asked this question quite a few times. Where do you get those mini bendable legs? Please answer😄
