LEGO Creator & LEGO Bionicle contests

There are a couple of fun LEGO contests I wanted to bring to your attention. Both of them are run by LEGO on their official Facebook Page. LEGO has been facilitating quite a few competition on Facebook and Instagram this year, so it is worth following them on these platforms. Below are the details about both contests. 🙂

LEGO CREATOR CONTEST: You can enter this contest by creating an awesome addition to the recently released #31038 LEGO Creator Changing Seasons set. You can build things like an autumnal tree, a fountain, a tree-house, a vehicle, or something else that would go well with the setting.

The contest runs from the 23rd of October 2015 to the 12th of November 2015, and during this period you can upload images of your entry (or entries) to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #BeALEGOCreator. Please note that using the hashtag is necessary to be considered for a prize.

Five winners will be selected by a LEGO judging panel, and they will be announced on the 22nd of November 2015. The prize will be the #31038 LEGO Creator Changing Seasons set or equivalent, and it will be shipped no longer than three weeks after the competition ends. The competition is open to all valid holders of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts worldwide, except where it is prohibited by local legislations and laws.

LEGO BIONICLE CONTEST: This contest is very interesting and there are only a couple of days left to enter so you really need to hurry up if you would like to participate. The contest challenges you to build a LEGO Bionicle mask from LEGO Constraction and LEGO Technic elements for a chance to win a limited edition 14 carat gold LEGO Bionicle Mask of Creation. (It is also okay to use regular LEGO elements to add color and details.)

You can enter multiple times with different masks. Below is the video introduction to the contest, as well as a second video with some tips and tricks for building your mask for the contest.

LEGO The Age of Ultron in 2 Minutes

The BrotherhoodWorkshop has teamed up with How It Should Have Ended (HISHE) on a number of projects over the past year (see links at the end of this post), and their biggest collaboration so far has been the recreation of The Age of Ultron film in two minutes. 🙂

LEGO Age of Ultron in 2 Minutes

This LEGO stop-motion video took over five weeks and 250 hours to produce, with each of the major scenes of the movie getting boiled down to short humorous shots. Below you can watch the full video, as well as some behind-the-scenes footage where Kevin shares some tips and tricks about how the LEGO stop-motion video was created.

Awesome, isn’t it? In the behind-the-scenes video Kevin explains an interesting LEGO stop-motion technique called downshooting, where objects are laid down flat against a green-screen, and the camera is positioned directly above them. This allows the creation of a lot of really cool flying effects that would be very difficult to create otherwise. Kevin also discusses the challenge of keeping balance between busy action shots and the speed these scenes are played back at, as too busy and too fast sections can get messy and confusing no matter how great each shot looks.

Another new feature of this video was the extensive use of miniature lights provided by BrickStuff. We have reviewed these excellent miniature lights made specifically for LEGO fans here: Light Up Your LEGO Models with BrickStuff. And you can find the currently available LEGO Super Heroes Age of Ultron sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

Recreating movie scenes or movie trailers is a good place to start out as a brickfilmer, because the story and the scenes are already provided for you. All you need to focus on is creating the scenes with LEGO stop-motion techniques. If you would like to learn more about LEGO stop-motion, I highly recommend checking out the other videos from the BrotherhoodWorkshop listed below, or you can also visit their YouTube Channel directly for more.
