Tumblers and a Bat!

[mahjqa]

These are waaaaaaay overdue. Plan was to have this done at the movie's release, but I may have gone a bit overboard filming.

There's also a making of part:

Required by law these days are Cuusoo links:

The Bat - http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/23218

Camo Tumbler - http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/20174

It's beautiful. Moreover, if you would be so kind, could you update the LFX File page to include the Black Tumbler? I am assuming it shouldn't be too difficult, because the classic appears to be the same as on your camo Tumbler.

That is never possible, NOTHING beats a well produced video. Excellent creation as usual. Are you making a less produced demonstration video of the functions?

Thanks everyone, for your kind replies. That makes the time I put in this worth it.

Actually, the black Tumbler is a completely different vehicle, no matter how much it looks like the camo one. Also, I've got a request; Both the Bat and the black tumbler use the new power functions motors that come with set 9398; they don't seem to be in your database yet. Is there a possibility for placeholder parts, perhaps?

That's pretty much the 'making of' video. Which functions are still unclear?

So awesome.

I figured all the functions out after looking at all the pictures on flickr .

Amazing - tumblers are so cool.

The video's are awesome...

Is there any chance you give us some instructions for the tumbler?

The Camo version can be found at Vayamenda.com and at Rebrickable. The black version (with L motors and servo motor) is still in progress.

Excellent work. What video editing software do you use?

[dhc6twinotter]

Your video editing skills are amazing! Really nice job there. :thumbup:

[mahjqa]

Excellent work. What video editing software do you use?

I'm very happy with Adobe Premiere. However, most of what I do can be done with simpler programs like windows movie maker. It's just cutting fragments to the right length and putting them in the right order, you don't need super advanced programs to do that.

What about editing out that Bat car? It looks very effective. Or did you use fishing line?

[mahjqa]

That would be After Effects.

[idunno101]

That looks so cool very nice editing and great job building those vehicles hope you keep making great projects

[jadedomg]

The tumbler is neat but the bat is wow! You did a great job on the video too.

Hi

beside the great MOCs as photographer i have to appreciate your great camera machines. This really makes me think of an own small camera that could fit into RC "cars".

I also love the idea of the flying batwing "car". Next step could be some programmable Lego Mindstorms to repeat multiple scenes with same mavements: Real motion control filming!

Very well photography with very unique "hardware" and ideas.

There is only one word to describe your video, awesome, amazing, excellent, fantastic, superb, wonderful, marvellous, and really rather good! As Siskel and Ebert would say .....

I have made a few rigs for video camera's myself and know they can be tricky, you have an excellent range of motion there without getting any of the rig in shot. Nice one!

One of the best LEGO films I've seen in my life. :thumbup: I was too distracted by the amazing filming to notice the builds at first, but they're really nice too now that I look at them.

[DLuders]

@ Mahjqa: I had to refrain from posting your marvelous Lego Technic Tumbler, after seeing your Tumbly! Flickr photostream for weeks! It looks very well engineered.

Both the Bat and the black tumbler use the new power functions motors that come with set 9398; they don't seem to be in your database yet.

As Alasdair Ryan noted on this Eurobricks post, these new 9398 parts ARE on Bricklink now:

bb571c01 "Electric, Motor 9V Power Functions L with Dark Bluish Gray Bottom"

bb572c01 "Electric, Motor 9V Power Functions Servo with Dark Bluish Gray Bottom"

Allanp noted that some Bricklink sellers offer the "Version 2" Power Functions Receiver (to handle two PF L-motors on the same channel): German source and American source .

Awesome video! Love both MOC's

Where's the making of the making of video? Amazing work as usual

It was right below that sentence. I'm amazed that you missed it. Just to make sure, here it is again:
