Where are you and why aren't you out there making Brickfilms anymore? This is seriously a fantastic piece of work and an inspiration to me as an animator/filmmaker. Would love to see some more stuff from you.
mobdeli I have seen a few of these yes! I didn't know you had done the "Cant Stop Building" video, great work. Do you have plans for any upcoming animation projects of your own that aren't commissions from Lego?
mobdeli Like the classic Ice Planet theme from way back? Very nice. If you're ever interested in collaborating on some live action stuff, let me know. I'm working on some live action short films as well as one big animation project this year here in TN. You can check out my stuff at my website if you're interested (www.niesproductions.com) Always looking to connect with other filmmakers (especially people who enjoy stop motion)
Holy crap, I remember seeing this back in like 2014 and thinking this was fantastic! And now in 2021, I still think this is one of the best Lego animations
You know what, this is one of if not the only best animation in a brickfilm. The animation + lighting makes this a masterpeice. 24 frames per second is hard and to see a person make a 8 MINUTE video SHOT AT 24 FPS is so darn respectable. Also the animation tells the story perfectly. I actually turned the volume down and showed to my friend (who didn't see this brickfilm) and he understood everything perfectly. You are probably the Best brickfilmer I've ever seen cause of this.
thank you so much! i think it's really important that films work with no sound so they can be understood in any language! thanks for watching and your nice comment :)
No way its been 13 years!? I remember watching this when it said 1! Happy I didn't fully remember just how top quality the animation and lighting is here, it was such a surprise from my faded memory. I really miss this era of lego animations on YT, things have changed a ton now. Glad this short still standing here like a stone pillar though. Still fantastic as it was over a decade ago!
@@mobdeli Then was the comedy and set design, now it extends into the lighting, camerawork, and voice acting / timing of the comedy. Nice to see it through an updated lens, too!
6:27 only the first 3 pharaohs of the first dynasty buried their servants alongside them. Afterwards they were given painted figurines called "Shabti" to replace them. A much more friendly practice, I assure you.
This is probably the most perfect stop motion film I have ever seen. I remember watching this a lot when I was a kid but as an adult I appreciate all the hard work and effort it took to make this.
Watching this for the first time in, like, 11 years and I gotta say, it's as good as I remember, if not better. I feel like there's a lot more that I appreciate here than I could back when I was a kid. Greaf job, man
This film is an absolute masterpiece. I constantly find myself forgetting that this is stop motion because it is so smooth. I also love the opening scene with the scorpions.
@@mobdeliWhen the ceiling was lowering! That must've taken a tremendous amount of work. Also it includes the "You shouldn't go drinking while exploring" hahah
i remember watching these videos as a child hood just came back to it when i found my old legos are remembered this video. thanks for being a part of my childhood
Mobdeli, oh my god, I just saw an lego pyramid in like insta. IMMEDIATELY made me remember this animation, god I haven’t seen it in what feels like 10 years, my favorite of ALL TIME. There’s no topping this I loved it then and I’m still in love with it now. INCREDIBLE WORK
This video is SO underrated, this is one of the best animated lego films I ever seen. This was created in 2011, so the camera quality during that time wasn’t very good, but this... Is um you know, the best! Every one watching this video, like the video!!!
@@mobdeli I quite like the fact that the professor is completely unfazed by deadly spear traps and reanimated skeletons, either because he's sauced out of his gourd on wine or maybe he's just used to it by now.
Don't know if you still read these comments, but i just wanted you to know how much i appreciete this film. Most of the brickfilms are just a showcase of cool tricks you can do with lego, and they lack the basic elements that make a good film. But your films, it has it all. Proper shots and editing, well-thought lightning, working sound design, enjoyable characters, and most importantly, a great story. And that's really hard to do with lego. This film must've taken a really long time and a lot of effort to make, you are really talented. Absolutely great work!
Its so funny and unexpected where it takes everything, it doesn't do any movie stereotypes, it does have character stereotypes but there done in such an obscure way that its unrecognizable to predict want will happen like the evilness character dying almost instantly in the first 1/4 of the film really throws an unexpected factor, the chardonnay joke is so well funny XD and the two scorpions fighting at the start was so anticlimactic and hilarious.
This is such an incredible animation, I had no idea it was made 12 years ago! & on top of that you’re still responding to comments 12 years later?! Instant sub from me.
Such a beautifully well done animation. The lighting, sets and stop-motion are fantastic! Certainly a great animation for all future animators to look up too.
@@mobdeli Your welcome! I'd love to see the Doc make a come back, maybe show how he may have survived. Or maybe he didn't and show another of Owen's adventures, maybe in another part of the world! It could be a 1930s city setting or ruins similar to this one but in another place or maybe they come back to Egypt.
Wow, that was a great animation ! One of the best I have ever sceen ! :) You are a great source of inspiration ! I hope you will be making more of those !
@@theamerica4363 hey sure - so, they just take so much time and i've sort of moved on to a different job. i do plan on returning someday soon with a short, but not sure when! thanks a lot for watching my videos though, that means a lot :)
this is the highest quality animation
Watch MichelHickoxFilms. they are also awesome.
oh yeah, and the lego movie.
Gods of animation
michel hickox is good but he makes films for little kids and the lego movie isnt stopmotion

It’s rare to find a brick film with such great voice acting. This is definitely a Stop-Motion to remember.
