I hope this is allowed, I already posted this in the Classic Pirates forum, but thought I would share it here as well since it IS a Lord of the Rings set.

I made a stop motion build of this new ship, as I've done with a couple others. It was my first time using a webcam, to avoid camera shake when I'd hit the capture button, so the video came out less shaky. Also changed some lighting aspects so there is less flicker. However, I must have not had the settings fine tuned on my web cam settings, since the colors of the shots aren't 100% correct, many bricks that appear red in the video are actually reddish brown.

Unfortunately since I used copyrighted music, the owners didn't allow the video to be played on mobile devices.

Anyways please let me you know what you all think, and if any of you have suggestions for improving quality I'd love to hear it!

Great video! The ship does look really great once the sails are all up. I couldn't help but find myself just waiting for the next minifigure to be built to see what they would do

Thanks! That was one of the criticisms I got from previous videos, that it got kinda boring just watching a build. So this time I tried to mix it up a little by having the figures do something.

Thanks for posting this! Seems like a lot of effort went into this. How long did it take you?

Awesome video! This is the only set from the new LotR wave that I'm still on the fence on, but this video definitely makes makes me want it a bit more. (I just don't know where I'll put it! Helm's Deep and the Black Gate are taking up all the room in my room.) I'd love to see you do some more stop-motion Lego LotR videos too. I'd like to get into that, but quite honestly I think I lack the patience. Once again, great job on this vid.

The build and taking all the pics took me an entire day. It took a long time to set up my area too since I hadn't done anything in a while. The editing and finding the right song took me a few hours. But I didn't get around to doing that till at least a week after filming.

I'll try to do more vids! I was thinking of doing it with the tower, but a set that big is going to take multiple days, and that I'm not looking forward to haha. So I may not do something that big.

Man, this is epic!

Thank YOU!

Hi, I get a youtube message that pops up saying "The content owner has not made this video available on mobiles". Please can you change this setting so we can see your video on mobiles? Thanks.

PS. I do all my browsing on an ipad now. PC's are just too prone to java viruses as I learned to my cost when mine was infected by ''windows defender' ransomware via a malicious website script.

Unfortunately since I used copyrighted music halfway through the video, my video was flagged as using 3rd party content. I didn't get a strike or anything, usually the owners of the song just put ads that they get the revenue for. This instance, WMG (the owners of the song) decided to just make the video unavailable to mobile devices. So it's not something I can change in the settings. I've learned my lesson now, because disabling videos on mobile devices makes it pretty difficult to get views cause more and more people nowadays are using phones or tablets. So sorry about that...

If you do make a video of the Orthanc, maybe have Saruman hire some Construction works to build it.

@yysu4. OK. Thanks for trying.
