dastolidigital Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Hey there, I just wanted to share a brickfilm I made with the classic pirates community. When I was a kid, pirates was always my favorite LEGO genre, and of all the sets, Sabre Island is the only one that my mother kept :( For this film, I started with Sabre Island and made a mountainous beach leading up to a prison that is my own take on a combination of Lagoon Lock-Up and Broadside's Brig. All the minifigs used are from the original pirates wave, but I did use newer colored bricks for all the terrain. Here is the youtube link to the film: I hope you all enjoy it! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I usually feel like most Brickfilms aren't worth the time it takes to watch them (so I very tentatively clicked the play button), but this is good quality, both the animation and the sfx. Well done! Quote
Legonardo Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 this is one of the best brickfilms ive seen in the forum! love it! Quote
Guss Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Very good animation, nice moc, funny story, everything is there, I subscribed to your channel, bring us more! Quote
Mr. Townsend Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Roger Redbeard wins again! Great film! Quote
Admiral Blockbeard Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 What an awesome video! Very well done! -Glad you picked up on the whole "backpack goes on top of epaulette" Do you plan on making any more pirate themed films? Would you be willing to? AB Quote
Mutant Orc Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Great! Love this! Very funny, It's a shame it didn't go on for longer! Quote
Matthias Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Really great work. The story is funny, the quality is great. I hope you will make more of this wonderful films. Quote
-DoNe- Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Outstanding work on this! Excellent animations and sound. The landscaping is top-notch as well! Quote
Sebeus I Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 This is very well done, great quality, keep that up . Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Simply amazing! Great effects, both visual and audio. Looks like an official Pirates' teaser from the 90's. Top! Quote
dastolidigital Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 I definitely watched that official 1990s teaser a bunch of times while figuring out what stuff I wanted in it. I'm glad you all like it. Building the terrain was probably the most fun part. I had never built anything mountainous before. As far as future brickfilms, I haven't really thought about what's next yet. Aside from pirates, my second favorite when I was a kid was the forestmen from castle, so who knows what the future holds. My fiancee just posted some behind the scenes photos on her blog where you can see us putting together the set here: http://thesageowlblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/escape-from-sabre-island-a-lego-brickfilm/ Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 This is great. Well done! I especially like the key role, which the monkey is playing Quote
Blackar Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Congratulations to this nice film! The quality is awesome and the terrain is detailed. I especially like the classical pirates look! Quote
Morthen Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Good quality, nice sounds effecs, and i like the fact they dont talk, that usualy screws it up. I really like the classic cartoon hints. The cannonballs dropped in the head, and the hat hanging in air, when he felt down. Nice touches, and a happy ending is always nice. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Well done! Great quality, good music and sound effects, and I also like the fact that you see the trees moving in the wind. It's also funny to see the minifigs making short sounds but speaking no real language. Yet it's clear what they mean. Clever Quote
Duck Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Great video! Really good quality in terms of picture, lighting and sound! Love the waves at the start! I also like the slight over-animation of the actions - gives it a unique feel! Certainly captures the 90's pirates theme and simplicity magnificently! Quote
ummester Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Very cool - nice pirate-y music. Reminds of the Secret of Monkey Island :) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 12, 2014 Governor Posted April 12, 2014 I hope you all enjoy it! Yes, I did! This brickfilm was quite well animated, the frame-rate wasn't too staccato and you've injected a goodly amount of humour. My only criticism is the score... It's typical contemporary "Disney Pirates of the Caribbean-esque" music which has been done to death. Where did the music originate from anyway? Quote
Romance14 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) That was fantastic! Well done. Edited June 4, 2014 by Romance14 Quote
