Lego Battle of Svolder - Viking stop motion

On September 9th, 1000 Olaf Tryggvason, the king of Norway, was ambushed by the allied kings of Sweden and Denmark with their fleet of over 70 warships. Olaf had only 11 warships, but instead of fleeing he decided to stay and fight. At first he and his men were able to hold off the attackers, but eventually, all his ships were taken 1 by 1. Rather than be captured, Olaf threw himself into the sea.

The cameraman is an absolute legend. First of all, he travels back in time 1,000 years! Then, he manages to get perfect camera angles of fight scenes, all while managing to not get killed AND stepping on legos the whole time!

No back-scabard, no horned helmets. This is actually realistic.

I'm really impressed with how dynamic the movements of the figs are and how good you are at give their movements some weight! It's very impressive for sure! I really liked the last shot where he jumped of the ship - great splashing effect! Really cool! Thanks for sharing your creativity and keep up the good work! :-)
