Animating the Impossible: LEGO Edition

TLDRIn this video, I challenge myself to animate impossible LEGO animations, including running at super speed and teleportation. I also show how to separate stuck LEGO pieces and create the illusion of building at lightning speed. Additionally, I showcase the minifigure's ability to jump high, do flips, fly, and perform tricky shots. I even demonstrate how LEGO figures can detach body parts and twist unimaginably. Watch and be amazed!

Key insights

🏃‍♂️Running at super speed can be portrayed in LEGO animations using brick blurs and multiple figures in a single frame.

✨Teleportation can be animated by capturing the figure at different locations and transitioning between them seamlessly.

🔨LEGO minifigures can create the illusion of building at incredible speed by using multiple figures and brick blurs.

🏆LEGO figures can perform trick shots, such as bottle flips and ping pong ball bounces, with precision and creativity.

🔄LEGO figures can twist and detach body parts, allowing for unique and amusing animation possibilities.

Q&A

Can LEGO figures really run at super speed?

—LEGO figures cannot move in real life, but through animation techniques like brick blurs and multiple figures in a frame, the illusion of super speed can be achieved.

Can LEGO figures really teleport?

—No, LEGO figures cannot teleport in real life. However, through animation and seamless transitioning between different locations, the effect of teleportation can be created.

How can LEGO figures build so quickly?

—The illusion of building at incredible speed can be created through the use of multiple figures, brick blurs, and clever editing techniques.

Are the trick shots performed by LEGO figures real?

—No, the trick shots performed by LEGO figures are animated and require precision, creativity, and careful planning to achieve.

Can LEGO figures really detach body parts?

—LEGO figures cannot physically detach body parts. However, through animation techniques and creative use of LEGO pieces, the illusion of detached body parts can be created.
