Lego Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark 

Haha that was some unintentional accuracy. The door moves too far down each shot despite slowly pushing it down each frame so i had to reset it every time.

classic

Ya it does

Thank you! That still is one of the best things I've animated

Thank you! I'm really proud of the opening the ark scene and still think it looks good no matter how times i look at it

@@CLEGOFILMS1 You’re very welcome! This is definitely my #1 favorite of your LEGO Indiana Jones trilogy.

Wow, thank you! I really stepped it up with temple of doom, you should check that one out too!

Thank you! That's my favourite shot in the whole animation lol. It's one of those rare moments when everything just works out once and i don't need to do it again. I also really liked the exploding and shrinking heads, but they took the most tries to do since they were shorter and there were chances to do it again, the face melt was a one shot type of thing. I really like how his hat dips lower and he turns towards the fire. Not many lego recreations did that and i wanted to go all out with it.

@@CLEGOFILMS1 Ive tried recreating that scene in a few ways via stopmotion, but none of them have turned out the way I was hoping, the Belloq head exploding was great too, It was a shame Lego never produced a Toht or a Belloq (other than his peruvian jungle costume)

Yeah i know, it's a very hard scene to do. The head exploding also has his eyes popping out when it explodes but it's kinda hard to tell. I agree. I wish belloq was made in the white outfit we see him in most of the film in.

@@CLEGOFILMS1 I agree, it seems whenever any kind of Belloq figure is made it is based off the ceromatinal robes he wears the last part of the film

Thanks, yeah the aggressive bouncing is my style of animation. Some people don't like it but i feel it keeps things moving.

Thank you! I'm really proud of the set design in this video

Thank you for watching! I always wished there was these videos on youtube when i was younger so i thought "fine, I'll do it myself"

@@CLEGOFILMS1 👍

Thank you!

Thank you! And yeah indiana jones is my favourite film franchise ever so I'm very passionate about it, and raiders of the lost ark is my favourite movie of all time

And on those two things, we agree. Despite myself I’m still a little excited for Indy 5. If I can enjoy Uncharted, I can enjoy 5. Here’s hoping it’s good

Theres a lego jaws set??

Thank you!!

Thank you! That opening the ark scene might be my favourite thing I've ever animated tbh

No, i don't have permission but i simply just take the film audio and convert it to mp3 and animate over it to stop motion studio.

I used cotton and had 2 layers. One background layer with the characters reacting to nothing, and the one with the ghosts. I then put the two together and turned down the opacity on the ghost layer creating a transparent look

@@CLEGOFILMS1 That’s almost just like how it was Jon in the actual movie, and I think that’s really impressive. I’m also quite curious on how you were able to do the demises of Dietrich, Toht and Belloq.

Well the three deaths is really more about the animation. Since they all just use lego studs. But Dietrich was just shake the head and then it's a cylinder. Toht was to start with flesh coloured studs falling off the face and then turn to red studs and replace the head with a skeleton seamlessly, whilst also dipping the hat lower and his body towards the fire, which is a detail a lot of people who have done the face melt scene kinda missed and it adds to it. Belloq was just using lego 1x2 trans red plates to give the effect of a smear frame during the explosion, as well as having 2 paper eyeballs fly past for extra effect. It's kinda hard to explain how i did them i just kinda thought about and animated it and it looked good, just trial and error really. Dietrich took 2 or 3 tries, Toht took 1 since it was the longest shot to do and i had to get it right the first time, and Belloq took about 5 or 6.

@@CLEGOFILMS1 Well I think they’re really great nonetheless. I actually did something like that in my LEGO retelling of Anakin Skywalker transforming into Darth Vader where he uses the force to destroy everything in the medical room. One of those things are the two bacta tanks from one of the medical droids, and the way I made it look like the liquid was coming out of them was by moving the dark red and bright green cylinders and then I put two clear ones in their places to make it look like the bottoms of the bottles broke and the liquid spilled out.

Thanks man!

Thank you!

Thats colonel Dietrich. Not a soviet soldier. Lego never made his figure, and thats the best i could do to make my own

@@CLEGOFILMS1 Lego did make a version of him in Lego Indiana game 1 & 2

Yeah, but hes not an offiical minifgure in any sets, they never released him. And his design in the games is completely custom, lego didn't make that torso

Scared the glasses off him.

Idk about viral but thanks!

@@CLEGOFILMS1 nah dude its gonna blow up, its too good not to

Thanks for the kind words, but we'll see!

15 frames per second

It actually took me about 3 weeks. The opening the ark scene took 2 weeks to edit since it was very time consuming to make all those ghosts opaque.

Thank you! I'm currently working on the last crusade at the moment so i hope your excited!

Thank you so much! It was such a pain lol. The opening the ark scene was so hard to do, i had so much masking to do once i was done but i love how it came out, especially the 3 deaths

It definitely sounds cool, but you would have a lot less control over how good the final effect would turn out. The way i did it was really the only way to do it and have it look good.

Alright!

Thank you so much! I have the dark knight next on the list of movies to do, but that won't be made for a while

@@CLEGOFILMS1 nice! I'll be looking out for that one!

Thank you! I animated this at 15fps, but now i animate at 24fps on 2s (or 1s for camera movement) because it looks smoother.

Thanks

Thanks! Thats one of my favourite scenes I've animated and i think it turned out great

Thank you! That shot of the sand was very difficult and tedious to do. Took me 4 hours to do it

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm really happy the love for indy comes across in the animation. Last crusade is coming, currently animating the tank chase and have 12 minutes done out of 15 minutes, so look foward to that!

@@CLEGOFILMS1 You're welcome anytime! Any fan of Indy is a friend of mine! An awesome I look forward to seeing your last Crusade project!

Thank you man, the camera was such an important aspect in the making of the indiana jones trilogy. If it moved in the original scene, then it moves in my lego recreation no matter how hard it would be to achieve that movement.

As far as I am concerned this is a perfect lego stopmotion, it is everything Stopmotion is meant to be or ever has to be. You didn’t even cut corners! It’s like 10 minutes for goodness sakes! This creation earns high praise from me, especially for the credits!!!

Thank you!

Wow thank you! Those are some of the kindest words someone has said about my animations! I'm glad you thought it was perfect!

@@CLEGOFILMS1 it really has the feel of the old Indiana Jones ds games and old Stopmotion videos from the 80s. That’s something hard to replicate

Thank you! I'm glad you really enjoyed it!

Thanks man!

Very well done!

Yeah always regretted skipping over the truck chase but i did make up for it by doing the mine car and the tank chase from the other 2 movies. Maybe one day I'll attempt the scene again!

@@CLEGOFILMS1 Yes! You should definitely consider remaking this with some of the cut scenes! If you do do that, I think you should put more emphasis on the scenes that are important to the story of the film, such as Toht interrogating Marion (and the subsequent gunfight for her medallion), Indy finding the Well of Souls in the Map Room, and Indy going undercover to save Marion on the island.

Plasticine?? I don't use plasticine. I use blu tack. It shouldn't be as visible as it is, but sometimes it's hard to hide it and you need to use more to get it to stick better.

Thank you! I absolutely love indiana jones so yeah I've got the passion to do it as good as i can

First off, thank you! I'm glad you like my style. I use a very basic galaxy a52 phone camera, and the zoom is done manually by just zooming in very slowly each frame, the camera doesn't move in those shots

@@CLEGOFILMS1 considering how many limitations you have with doing stop motion on a phone the fact that this is as good as it is impressive to say the least. It's hard to put my finger on it but the style you use for this just reminds me of the Lego DS game and stop motion videos from the 80s. It's a great style. I assume you do 24 frames per second? There's just several moments throughout these 3 videos we're I'm like "how did he do that?" and that's what you want when it comes to this hobby so big congrats.

Thank you! When i read comments like these it really makes me smile because it tells me I'm doing it correctly if these low budget videos can impress people enough to make them wonder how i did things. My animations are 15fps. And yeah, my style is a very cartoony but smooth style. It's become its own thing now that works for my videos where it has an odd flow. The arc will be small > biggest > smaller > smallest, so some ease in and out is cut to keep the movement snappy, but i still follow all the animation principles. What might impress you even more is that i don't have a desk since i don't have room for it, so all these animations are done on the floor. (Carpeted ofc, tiled floor would be a nightmare since the set would slide around)

Thank you! I animate at 15fps

I just basically grind until it's done, every day. And thanks I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Thanks, yeah thats my style of animation. I wanted to make it more cartoony but it's more expressive in the ones I'm currently working on. I wanted to fill all the dialogue with movement instead of them just sitting there.

Yeah i got them, they're pretty great

Thank you! I really love indiana jones and i wanted to put as much effort as possible into it

Han solos head wasn't used in this? I used it for Donovan in last crusade

Thank you! That has to be one of my favourite things I've ever animated tbh

Thank you!

@@CLEGOFILMS1 You're Welcome Buddy

I did the trilogy, i don't know if I'll do the 4th and 5th but i will do something with the new sets!

I'm doing temple of doom and last crusade probs not crystal skull tho. I realllly don't like that one, i don't have any passion to make it.

@@CLEGOFILMS1 That's a shame, cause i did like Crystal Skull alot and found t as enjoyable as the other 3 films.. I respect you choice though.

Yeah, sorry mate. If i don't like the movie i won't do it in lego, same reason i never did the amazing Spider-Man movies. I need to like the film and have a certain level of passion in order to make them. The first 3 films i love so much, and i want to do them in lego. If indy 5 is good and i want to make it in lego I'll do indy 4 just for completions sake, like i did with Spider-Man 3. I didn't like the movie, but it needed to be done cause you gotta have the trilogy.

@@CLEGOFILMS1 I understand. Still, you made a great video.

Thank you for the kinds words mate!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

It's not about the prizes comindo, Thank you so much man! Yeah i had to include the dancing gif. It really ties it together nicely. I can't wait to see what you do for Spider-Man 2!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Yeah lol i broke indys torso trying to get his arms off for out of socket movmenet so i had to use a different torso in those shots for out of socket movement. Now for last crusade i don't have that issue cause i found an old ass indy figure and the arms could come off easily.

Thank you! I really like how the opening the ark scene came out, sadly the editing software held me back a bit but the stand out shot is the face melt which i still think looks great

Yes i do! I can't wait for them. It'll be more of a joke video though since I'm done with recreating the clips from the movies.

@@CLEGOFILMS1 awesome! Can’t wait!

Thank you! I worked really hard on it and I'm glad you liked it

Thank you!

Thanks, I've already done temple of doom and last crusade releases this weekend!

Yeah, I watched temple of doom and it was great, I’ll look out for the last crusade

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks bro, that has to be one of my favourite things I've ever animated

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Happy birthday for 3 days later! Hope you enjoy the video!

Backwards lego legs are scary

Thank you!

Thanks, i really like how the melting face turned out, that ones my favourite

Thank you!

Thank you!

I liked The ark scene you made so much I actually made made my own version in lego as well

Thank you! I'm very happy with how those scenes came out!

Yeah, i love indiana jones so I'm always happy to make lego indiana jones stop motions

Thanks haha. I got super creative with the face melt, i wanted to do it right.
