It was quite a challenge to animate, as Minifigs have very limited movements. I had to use modeling clay to extent the arms and legs for a few awkward postions.

That was one of the hardest 14 seconds I've animated. Really fun, but hard. TheTay wrote: you need to show me how to put those minifigs like that, isaac Two words: modeling clay. I had to rip the arms off (and legs for a few frames, I think) and extend them with oil-based Plasticine type clay. It was hard to get the clay to stay put, and the arms fell off several times during animation. It probably would have been a good idea to put some thin wire inside the arms to help keep the positions. It turned out okay, though. I think one of the Minifigs still has his clay arms, I try to find it and post some more detailed pics. Thanks for the comments! _________________   Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 2:13 pm Rental Monarchy I Admin, Respect me!

Before I can help you get started, though, you need to clear a good sized space on your computer desk (we're going to need to stay hooked up to the computer). I am 99% positive you have a really good camera for brickfilming. K4's getting started, too, so maybe we can all be working on different parts of the 52 Car Pile-Up movie at the same time. _________________   Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 4:14 pm Rental Monarchy I Admin, Respect me!

Also, my webcam doesn't get superb quality, in fact, it's about the cheapest type you can get! I could use an actual digital camera, but it has to save directly to the computer, and I've only managed to take 984 pics on it before its batteries failed, and I had to pop them in for an overnight recharge.

According to the small and deeply boring book called English and You, that sentence has a 5% chance of being correct, let alone be coherent. _________________ [img]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3350/321187899384pl0.png[/img]   Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2006 3:20 pm Canal Noises Site Admin Joined: 13 Aug 2006 Posts: 245 Location: A store hunting for Hot Wheels cars Oh, brother. _________________   Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 4:25 pm K4 Moderator Joined: 24 Aug 2006 Posts: 87 No, really, what do you mean? _________________ [img]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3350/321187899384pl0.png[/img]   Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 7:26 am Canal Noises Site Admin Joined: 13 Aug 2006 Posts: 245 Location: A store hunting for Hot Wheels cars Nevermind.
