Here is another great video by the BrotherhoodWorkshop that was created for the “How It Should Have Ended” YouTube channel. In case you are not familiar with it, HISHE features funny alternate endings to movies. This is the second collaboration between the BrotherhoodWorkshop and HISHE. The previous video was an alternate ending to The LEGO Movie (see link at the end of this post). The second video is a recreation of a famous scene from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. 🙂

In this LEGO stop-motion video by the BrotherhoodWorkshop Aragorn calls on the Army of the Dead to fight the Orcs, just like in the movie. However he didn’t consider that even the Orcs know who to call…
This is a beautifully created stop-motion video, especially taking into account how many characters are involved. However what brickfilmers have been most curious about is how Kevin created the ghost effect. So he posted a behind-the-scenes video explaining how the ghosts were done. It is a pretty involved process, but very effective.
Unfortunately the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets used in this video have been retired, however if you are looking for some Middle Earth sets and characters the LEGO The Hobbit sets are still available at the Online LEGO Shop. And of course the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 is also an official LEGO set you can find here.

So what do you think? How did you like this LEGO stop-motion video? And what you do think of the tutorial? Did you find it helpful? Do you do LEGO animation yourself? Feel free to share your thoughts and own experiences in the comment section below! 😉
