Hi! I'm Dovycola
I want to tell you about something super cool I just started doing… LEGO #stop-motion videos!
I had nothing to do one day, and I was just sitting in my room thinking, “Ugh, I’m so bored!” 😩 Then I remembered stop-motion! I always thought it looked fun, so I said, “Okay, I’m gonna try it!” And guess what? It was SO fun! Now I want to keep making more!
What is Stop-Motion?
Stop-motion is a way to make movies, but instead of filming video, you take lots of pictures! You move your toy (like a LEGO minifigure) just a little bit, then take a picture. Then move it again, and take another picture. You keep doing that over and over, and when you put all the pictures together, it looks like the #LEGO is moving all by itself! 😲
It’s kinda like animation, but with real toys instead of drawings or computers. Some people use LEGO, some use clay, and some even use dolls or paper! It takes a long time, but when you see the final video, it’s totally worth it. It looks like the toy is alive!
Some big movies like Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas were made with stop-motion. That’s so awesome, right? 😄
LEGO + Stop-Motion = BEST COMBO EVER
I love LEGO, and I thought it would be perfect for stop-motion. LEGO minifigures are small, easy to pose, and they can do all kinds of stuff like walking, talking, jumping, or even fighting! 😆
To make a LEGO stop-motion, all you do is:
- Build your LEGO scene
- Choose your LEGO character
- Write a little story or script
- Start taking pictures one by one
- Move your LEGO guy just a little bit each time
Then put the pictures together in a video editor or a stop-motion app 🎞️
Here’s a picture from one of my stop-motion videos:
Looks cool, right?
How I Made My First One
So here’s how I made my first LEGO stop-motion video:
I got bored. 😂 Seriously, that’s how it started.
I came up with a story for my LEGO guy. I made a little script about what he was going to do and say.
I took a bunch of pictures — like, A LOT. I ended up taking 181 photos! 😮
I edited the pictures and turned them into a #movie. I used a camera, but you can also use apps made just for stop-motion, which makes it easier!
I added some sound and music to make it even more fun.
When I watched the video at the end, I was so happy! I didn’t even notice how much time had gone by. I wasn’t bored anymore at all! 😄
What’s Next?
Now I want to make a whole series of LEGO stop-motion videos! Like a show with episodes and everything! That would be so fun! Maybe it’ll have action, jokes, and even space battles… or pizza-eating contests 🍕😂
I'm still learning, but I think I’m getting better every time I make one. And the best part is — anyone can do this! You don’t need fancy stuff, just some LEGO, a camera or phone, and lots of patience.
Final Thoughts
LEGO stop-motion is awesome. It’s fun, creative, and it helps you use your imagination. If you're bored like I was, try it! You might end up making your own cool movies too!
Most important is that I can now #promote Hive in all of my Stop Motion videos. The idea is to add all my videos on Youtube and I hope a lot of people will see it and also see Hive logo or link Hive.io.
That’s it for now! I’m gonna go make more videos. Thanks for reading!
Do you wanna try it too? Let me know what you’d make!
