order of the stick lego version

[stabbybelkar]

hey found this on youtube just now.

Thoughts? comments?

[Ashes]

It's pretty bad. I couldn't see what happened at all.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Ummm... What?

The tripod is your friend. The camera moves so much I ended up seasick.

Stop motion is funny and works. A bunch of kids reaching into the scene to move the Lego people around isn't funny, and really doesn't work.

I give it 0 of 5 stars. :smallfrown:

[nimby]

Unfocused camera.
Cameraman with shaky hands.
Bad voice-acting.
Not stop-motion.

I think I give it -1 out of 5 stars :smallsigh:

[Arkenputtyknife]

Get a camera with a decent macro feature. Even many shirt-pocket cameras can now accurately focus down to less than an inch.

And, um, what Surfing Half Orc said about tripods. A tripod with a boom attachment is good for this kind of work.

[Alex Warlorn]

Good concept, poor execution.

[Icewalker]

It's like a crappy version of what I did with Dune for a school project a few years ago...

[stabbybelkar]

let me just that I did not make it. I found it on youtube when i was surfing the web

[Voyager_I]

Noise: 1
Signal: Dead and buried

Of course, my evaluation may be limited by the fact that I couldn't watch past the first 15 seconds.

[Bayle]

Did he pronounce Xykon... "Ecks-i-khan?" ... I cried a bit


EDIT: He also has another video, with a Commentary ala DVD... that's actually pretty funny hehe.

[Jimorian]

Just an example of using figures (in this case Playmobile) in video without stop motion but still being effective:


Fighting for Love -- Venus Hum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqGmRTSxxlU)

[The Hop Goblin]

Just the same, this was pretty darned cool.

[kpenguin]

My eyes! My ears!

Why is there only one decent OotS vid on youtube?:smallsigh:

EDIT: The one decent one posted above/\

[JessSoccer]

Am I a bad person for not watching all the way through?

[Vectner]

He didn't even know Durkon's name!

[Jimblee]

Like all masters of his art, this man - nay, this god - is misunderstood by many at the early stages

Give in now to this most spectacular piece of film. Watch it for hours - let its quiet humor and subtle etiquette wash over you. This is not some piece of Youtube Poop, out for quick laughs! My friends, this is art!

[chibibar]

This art hurts my eyes :(

How should you say it? Should you add and subtract letters or say it really fast?:smallsigh:

[Mauve Shirt]

It's pronounced Zy-kahn.

[Zakama]

Am I the only one who liked this? Sure, the camera was bad, but I think it was funny. Maybe not in the way it was supposed to be funny, (I'm looking at you 1960 King Kong vs Godzilla) but Ex-Kay-On? :smallbiggrin:

[TheWarBlade]

Gah....This needs work...:eek:

[Rare Pink Leech]

I just can't believe he called Belkar "Baldirk". Where the hell did he get the "d" from?

[Sequinox]

The sad thing... Is that it sounded like my cousin.

EDIT: Evan, we know that you're out there!

[monty]

I know Rich posted a pronunciation guide, but I lost the link and don't want to take the time to look for it again. Does anyone else have it?

This guy is the Uwe Boll of YouTube.

[Mc. Lovin']

I gave up after the first few seconds ... Anyone brave enough to sum up the plot for us? :smalltongue:

[tenguro]

Am I a bad person for not watching all the way through?

no no your not. I give that video a -5 out of 5, now if I had a video camera I would make a ton better video just to show how real videos are made.

[serpent615]

I gave up after the first few seconds ... Anyone brave enough to sum up the plot for us? :smalltongue:

Yep, I managed to get to like 12 seconds...then said OMG this is horrible.

[NorseItalian]

Ew.

My flash version of OOTS will be way better.

[shadow mage]

Terrible camera
makes no sense
enough said:smallfurious:

[Pepz]

this is horrid, trying to sing like Elan is a No-No

[NorseItalian]

If you guys don't believe me on the animation thing, I really am making it. I just need to get the go-ahead from The Giant himself.

[Geno9999]

Getting... Sea sick... on land... *walks off scene* that film was bad. I didn't even see the whole video before closing the window.
And that was your Elan?:smallconfused: I could've done better. Too kid-like.

[North]

I heart steadi-cam.

[Wizardzo]

In the immortal words of Solid Snake, "Im gonna puke!"

That seriously with in an inch from tears.. :yuk:

Eh, its not art just becase there is suffering involved...:smallamused:

[SilentNight]

Oh my god, I couldn't bear it after the first 40 seconds. I literally had to fight the urge to go soak my eyes in acid.

[BlackMageJ]

By the Twelve Gods that's awful! And it might have been even worse if I could actually hear what they were saying.

Nice idea though. Hmm... 'The Order of the Brick' has a nice ring to it...

[Szilard]

I've made movies with lego's but they were stopmotion, a way lot beter.

[Morgan Wick]

I haven't even seen the video, but it sounds... bad. Intriguing concept, though... I wonder how the guy who does Irregular Webcomic! (www.irregularwebcomic.net) would handle OOTS...

[Revanmal]

Everyone's knocking this even though it was obviously made by a little kid. :smallconfused: I doubt he knows what exactly stop motion is, let alone how to do it. It's bad, yes, but then again so were the drawings everyone made in 1st grade. Heck, at that age I was happy if I colored inside the lines.

As far as pronouncing names incorrectly goes, it's little more than some forum posts put into speech.

"Tharkla", "Shinjo", "Hally", "Ray." These things are everywhere. Is it truly so hard to type a name correctly after seeing it in print? Vaarsuvius, I'd understand, but how can you mis-spell Roy?!

Very carefully.

[Oberon]

Very carefully.

I think this is one example where that joke doesn't work.

[stabbybelkar]

I DID NOT MAKE IT THIS IS JUST SOMETHING I FOUND ON YOUTUBE!!:mad:

[vivi]

Who's Ex-kiff?

[Revanmal]

No one said you did, stabby. We are commenting on the badness of the person who made this, not you.

sorry, I just was having a really bad day when I posted that.

[Swordwind]

Nope, couldnt get past the opening "from the makers of" :smalleek:

Did he prounounce Elan as Hellen?!

[RyannWolfgang]

I'm SOOOOO DOING an OOTS movie right now! I'm posting the link once it is ready.

OOTS deserve some neat youtube space.



Meanwhile,

It's a poop! But it's funny =D

:elan: - Watch watch watch, Ryann's funny youtube poop...

[R.O.A.]

:eek:
It has potential. I'm taking it as a first attempt.
OK, I agree with all the above points about stop motion, but it could be a lot better if we were just on the figure's level, rather then looking down at their heads. That, and grabbing a few extra people in to do the voices.

[Deathwisher]

Is this for real? You can get a better effect with a cellphone camera!
It cannot be just the motion either, because the image is never focussed to begin with. Somebody needs to read the manual and learn how to use their equipment.
