It’s funny. Ten years ago I got my first Lego set. Set 7285. By the way, I also animate stop motion brickfilms! I would appreciate some feedback if you have the chance! Better to hear it from a pro!
Hi, BrickBrother. My first LEGO set was Crisis News Crew (6553). Loved that set. It also came with a little van you could put stuff into not unlike yours (it also came with a helicopter). I gave your videos a quick look. I'd suggest trying to focus on improving animation. There are lot of videos on the general guidelines for animation. Even if not a brickfilm specific video, many of these rules still apply everywhere. My animation's definitely not perfect in this (lol), because it's only ten frames per second (probably the bare minimum), and it's also pretty old at this point. Generally a good target is 12 or 15. But upping it isn't everything. You've got to ease in and out, really work on the flow of things. Practice, and pay close attention to stuff you notice that's nice in other people's work, and you will improve over time. Making test montages can be a very fun way to do this, and it's a great way to experiment with very interesting types of shots without having to establish the context that might otherwise been required. Not sure if that will help, but good luck!
Pirates Rule was one of my all-time favourite Lego animations; it had a hilarious script and a funny story, not to mention its great characters! I can't wait to see it remastered!
Literally still quote the whole "double it, throw in some ice cream" exchange. Truly amazed at how well you've improved in all areas since then. Watching this in comparison to Welcome To Darkmoor is truly something. Long live the giant cyborg man eating squid!
I saw this video when I was around 7 years old and I loved it, I loved pirates and legos and this was the first time I saw them together, it was a really special video for me, it's just wild to see it is 10 years old now, it's one of my favorite lego animations of all time. Just amazing.
You are literally one of my favorite stop motion makers ever you are what got me into making stop motions this was the first video I ever watched please make a Welcome to Darkmoor 2 your videos are so good
Thanks! I'm not ready to commit to a sequel for Welcome to Darkmoor just yet. I was really happy with it as a standalone film, and I'd be worried about ruining that. Plus the original also, took five years, so it'd probably also take a great deal of time to do a sequel. Still, that hasn't stopped me from thinking about ideas... For now I'm hoping to focus on some smaller films for a while (probably a year or two) before I commit to another one of my large scale films. (My current project is just a smaller scale film that I'm taking way too long to make, lol)
Squid, I'm revisiting this video on Talk Like a Pirate Day. When I first came across you on the Creation Lab, I was in elementary or middle school. Now, I'm a senior in college. Revisiting your brickfilms has been an amazing experience, and I thank you for being a part of my childhood. I have always been inspired to be creative and imaginitive and pursue the career of an artist, and hope to do so later in life. Some of my biggest inspirations when it comes to my creative work are greats like JRR Tolkien or George Martin, Ursula K Leguin and Tamsyn Muir. But really, if I think back to the first person who inspired me to create my own world, and grow and make it prosper beyond what just existed with my Lego bricks, I think I would have to point to you, Squid. Thank you for being my inspiration. You are one of the most talented, cleverest, most thoughtful creatives I have ever met. Never stop being you!
Ive been lookin back at all the old stop motion channels i used to watch and its so awesome to see them still around, especially this one. Brings back a lottttt of memories
Even though I’m a month late, I’m still really happy to see this remastered. It’s one of my favourite stop motions on TH-cam so it’s nice to see it like this
The return of the king. I cannot express how much I loved watching this video as a child, I watched it hundreds of times when it was uploaded and it inspired so much of the things I did with lego
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years I loved your videos when I was 11 and I love them today! Thanks for making these beautiful videos for my childhood! I just realized this is a year old lol
I'm a simple man. I see an ANP video, I click. I've been following you since the days of the LU Creation Lab, Sir Squid! You're super talented, keep up the good work!
Not upscaled actually! I still have all of the individual frames from the entire video saved at maximum quality (I always keep them for every project). But I couldn't use my old project save from Premier Elements 1.0, so I reassembled the entire timeline to match the original in a new HD project. It took a lot of time and effort because a lot of the frames had been rearranged and edited, though.
So I have to ask since I’ve always loved the scores for your old videos but does Elisabeth Allen still compose music? It’s a fantastic and unique sound.
I've no plans on doing any livestreams, but I will provide feedback on specific videos or subjects upon request, as I do want to be able to assist the community where I can.
@@AnnoyingNoisesProductions th-cam.com/video/4CJzUBRdyHI/w-d-xo.html this video by me. I am going to do a part 2 but I want to make it better that ever. Can you tell me things that will improve my next video? Thanks.
It looks like the action moves much too fast, so it's rather difficult to follow what's going on in the video besides that people are fighting. What I think would really improve it is making the action a bit slower and more deliberate. Focus on key characters and what they're doing. Not just with animation, but also on the shots. It's very easy to use a lot of quick cuts (I myself overused quick cuts in I AM THE NIGHT) where a shot quickly becomes another shot. But sometimes you need to hold the shot if you don't really need to cut. it's a bit higher risk, especially in animation, to keep a shot going for a time because of all the mistakes that can be made, but it can be very much worth it. Also, I'm very fond of this pretty great animation tutorial by FancyPants: th-cam.com/video/0XrRJAiIepY/w-d-xo.html It's ancient now, but evergreen.
No, sorry! Red Order isn't going to take place in Riigo-Faloo. I'm not yet 100% sure what my next project will be after Red Order, but I want to be 100% done with that before I decide what's after that one. Still might make another Riigo-Faloo video some day, though.
@@AnnoyingNoisesProductions Very interesting... I would kill for the chance to learn more about Riigo-Faloo, it sounds so unique and splendid, unlike any other fictional world I've come across.
It'll be an entire year this month since I last left my home (thanks to the ongoing events). It's been pretty rough (as it has been for many), but considering the circumstances, I think I'm holding up pretty well! I've been spending a lot of time attending my church's RCIA meetings and Bible study through video calls which is great because I get to talk to my new friends. I've also been working on this video game idea I've wanted to make for a while and so I've been spending a lot of time on that lately. Still a long way to go with that, but I'm really happy with the progress I've made so far. Unfortunately, that's slowed my progress with my next brickfilm (Sorry!) but I'm still making the brickfilm! but hey, maybe sometime down the line you guys will get to enjoy an new game from me rather than a new video.
The idea isn't entirely off the table. But I've just got a lot of other ideas that I really want to make, and it takes so long for me to make videos, so I just keep pushing it back. So it probably won't be for a very long time, if ever.
I don't have any plans right now. It does take a lot of work to do it because I have to rebuild the timeline in an HD project. I wanted to do Pirates Rule at least because it was particularly low quality, and also my most popular video. Do you have any video in particular you think that I should remaster?

Great to see. This is one that notably could have done with a remaster, so I'm glad we got it
3:17 This dude says, “the ninjas took our money!”, but he literally has a large piece of silver on the table behind him 😂🤣
He’s back!
After a full year, he’s back! 😮

I remember watching the non HD video 3 years ago and seeing this video makes me have memories of watching this video
Oh man, I used to watch this one all the time. It's good to see it in HD! And 10 years, hoo boy!
Ive been lookin back at all the old stop motion channels i used to watch and its so awesome to see them still around, especially this one. Brings back a lottttt of memories
This whole thing is so freaking brilliant. I think my favorite part is where the dude gets his head shot off by the cannon. *tap, tap, BOOM*
RETURN OF THE KING!!!
I’ve always loved this one. Honesty the best pirate brickfilm I’ve seen.
YES!!!!!!!! What a classic.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

This video is top tier
Literally looked this up and watched this a few days ago for nostalgia sake, nice
I literally watch the none HD version this morning
Wow!
Nice to see it in HD. I used to watch the original all the time
It's so nice and kind of you to put a Japanese subtitle on the video. Thanks!
You can thank Rokkakumaru. He volunteered translate it.
My childhood reborn!!
Guys this is a legendary moment he uploaded a new video after a year
This is ten years old? Man, I grew up with this video
I'm a simple man. I see an ANP video, I click.
I've been following you since the days of the LU Creation Lab, Sir Squid! You're super talented, keep up the good work!
Dude i missed you man
love everything about this, always have
Thank you for this video, this and others were my childhood!
Oh how I have missed that squid.
I'm so glad, this was one of my favourite brickfilms of yours
Ah, brings back memories. Gracias Señor.
Now this is something I wanted to see!!
Thank you for this
Yay! Congratulations on Ten Years!
This is one of my favorite animations on TH-cam! Good to see it return, in all its brick glory.
My personal favorite Lego movie. Been quoting it for years now.
The legend is back!!!
Still a masterpiece.
9:57 “AHHHHH” *hey guys I think we’re under attack.*
Congrats on ten years. This is still great after all these years. Eat him Munchie is so great.
This. This is absolutely incredible. The original still slaps, even with the potato pixels
Can't believe its been this long...
The Return of the King or should I say the pirate king
This is 10 years old?! Now I feel old myself...
The nostalgia tho 🥺😭
Barrels is such a mood.
A classic!
