The History of Brickfilms: 1990s - An overlooked decade in LEGO animation? 

Thank you! I'm glad that emphasis came across, because I was concerned that focusing mostly on the best stuff could give a bit of an inaccurate impression. I do hope you can eventually find the earliest work you have!

Titan Pictures hi!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

15:60 something from titan pictures

dunno if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of months =)

@Malachi Nova Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D

You forgot michaelhikox....

@@colwarsstudiobrickfilmandm8580 forgive me :c How could I forget Michael?

@@mrcarbonmr3065 its fine

14:21 Dear god it's all connected

Thank you very much! I actually saved all of Captain Bulldog's uploads and have them available here: brickfilms.wikia.com/wiki/Jason_Boyle

hey???? sonichu???????

Lakitou made it..

They mightn't quite be in the next video, as I will be deviating to one specific topic, but they absolutely will be in the one after, if not the next one

The next video will cover The LEGO Group's first encounter with Pagano

Probably? ;)

Thanks for sharing the story. I didn't expect anyone watching this to be familiar with that, and I'm not sure I even remember how I came across it. Maybe one day I can track down one of the creators and see if they still have the films

One of them claimed the other films they made before Dark Ages were poor but I would still love to see them. Dark Ages and Space are both pretty nuts. There is a part in Peril in Space where an alien race needs to prove their worth in the format of a quiz show run by the insane human space commander. They fail by showing off that they have transparent sewage pipes on their planet.

It sounds like they were substantial films for the time. I would have assumed they were just shorts/tests. I will definitely try to track them down

Please do! They were beefy films. I think both of those were around 15 - 20 minutes. I would try track them myself but I haven't got any brickfilms to my name.

Cool dr. sillypenta! Where do you find all the videos!

Thanks; I do particularly enjoy picking out the music tracks. The next part will have some good ones

Thank you

Twelve Bucks is an all-time classic for sure

Thanks for the comment; it's great to hear from you. I would be interested in seeing that trailer, if you want to upload it. I am curious if you remember what the 6 films listed on LEGO Compulsion were, or if you remember how you got in contact with Russ Jensen, who is also listed as being involved with that site.

@@sillypenta So... here's the thing :D I don't remember anything about Lego Compulsion. A friend sent me to a wiki last year and was like "hey your old lego movies are mentioned here and there is a page about you" and when I read about Lego Compulsion I told him it must be a mistake of the author. Looking again at web archive which your footage also shows, it's very clear that I must have done it as my name is all over and there is mentions of it from my xmission page. So I guess it's true! :D I was like 21 and always loved Lego and me and my friend Russ (Gatrell) really liked film and I thought I wanted to maybe try to get into film programs and after finding Starlego I was like yeah let's try this out. I didn't know anyone else. People (I assume Russ Jensen too) were contacting me like "hey I made one too check it out" and I enjoyed building sites at the time so I must have thought it would be a good idea to have some sort of directory for these :) but luckily better people came along like Brickfilms lol. I had a lot of fun doing them and wanted to do more but my personal life got away from me a bit and what would end up being my real career took off. Over time I think the weirdness of Salt Lake Spaceport plus a lot of ambitious things that didn't work out ended up being a huge source of embarrassment for me (but my friends were loving it and sharing it and thankfully kept copies of it cuz i lost mine including the uncompressed version.) It's funny that in the context of everything it has a small place in the history of sharing these online.

@@kellyjeffery2897 Thanks for all the info. I hope you are proud of Salt Lake Spaceport now; it is considered to be one of the best brickfilms of the 90s. Before I had tracked down a copy of it, it was one the most desirable "missing" brickfilms, as people who have been in the community for a long time would still sometimes mention it. I did search for you online and tried any old email addresses I could find, but I never managed to get in contact, so it took me by surprise to see you commenting here haha. I eventually managed to find that somebody had uploaded all three of your brickfilms to Dailymotion in 2006, which is how I finally acquired them.

@@sillypenta Thank you for the kind words. I was debating on outing myself or not when I saw this ;) . I am definitely "over myself" about it now and I think I struggle to appreciate anything i've done artistically. The films were so fun and now I have two LEGO obsessed girls that who knows, maybe I will help them make some stop motion at some point. :D

Yes

Working hard on it at the moment. it will be large

It will be mentioned eventually, but it does make a brief appearance in this video

About time indeed

thanks

Can you post a link?

First person I have encountered who gets it

​@@sillypenta It's a pretty fun comic! Anyway, I really enjoyed your brickfilming history series. It was very in-depth and the skits in-between felt like a natural addition (Plus I hadn't seen some of these in 20 years, like the "Haunted" one from the next video)

The White Ninja by Blunty

@@sillypenta thanks, man. Really hoping to see more of this series sometime, I'm really enjoying it.

@@nefariousgremlin7554 Thanks. I got the voiceover for the next one recorded, and I am editing the video now

congrats on being first to mention it

sillypenta didn’t he make another stop motion video in 2005?

if he did, please link it to me

I will if I manage to reach the part covering the early years of brickfilming on RU-vid, which would be Part 6 by my current plan

sillypenta “the 2000s changed everything” as in instead of covering whole decades it’s now individual years. Jokes aside, I’m looking forward to it. I’m loving this series so far. I grew up on early brickfilm RU-vid so that stuff is really nostalgic. I’m kinda excited to see who will make the cut, Forestfire is the only one I think is a lock. But take your time, I’m sure part 3, 4, and 5 will be great too.

2 weeks from now

bruh moment

@@sillypenta you response killed me, lol

Ay bruh I released part 3 half a year ago. but yeah I'm gonna work on part 4 now

@@sillypenta oh- im dum i didnt know the studios counted.

History of LEGO Studios

@@sillypenta I thought it was going to be about the 2000s.. Though that would require 2 parts at the least, the 2000s were HUGE when it comes to brickfilming.

It will be the first part of a number covering the 2000s

KMFDM - Son of a Gun

working on it now

Man I didn’t expect this I said it as a tf2 joke but still thanks for replying

I think I will leave it up to them if they want it up; there are some reasons they may have intentionally taken it down

You know what you are talking about. Before the likes of those classics, I will be covering the years 2000 - 2003

They're goofy/cheesy, though perhaps it was silly to make such a judgement of kids commercials in the pursuit of only wanting to see stop-motion lol

@@sillypenta ohh lol. I was just confused cause I didn't see what was wrong with the clip u showed. I see now lol.
