JC, I've been binge-watching your videos. I just finished cleaning our LEGO room and will be in the process of putting everything back together. I'd like to make more LEGO scenes around it and am looking for inspiration. Thank you!
You expressed alot of great advice which is something I will defiantly be taking on board. Dynamic scenes really bring a city to life as I have saw many cities that just have nothing really going on. On the other hand I have saw cities with to many far fetched dynamic scenes, because some people would think of every dynamic scene as people fighting or as a car crash but it just doesn't look realistic when there are to many of these type of scenes. When there is moderation between static, a standard dynamic scene along with a few intense dynamic scenes the city will look interesting and realistic. 😄
Wow, 2 minutes in and I’m already inspired! I would love to add some stuff like this in my city, I’m gonna do this right now! Thanks so much for the advice! (Yes, you changed my city plans once again lol!)
Very nice ideas JC as I didn’t know much about these setting up scenes and things...I do like the city with lots of minifigures and story it very fun to look at..I can totally relate to the girl with the ice cream...my son ...lol he will never learn.😆🤣
I liked the one you actually removed which was the person trimming the corn guy. They all really added up though to make it quite dynamic! How about adding some buskers...people always love a little live music.
Thank you for that awesome video. I really enjoyed it and took a lot of inspiration out of it. I tried to put several scenes into my city but your video gives me a whole lot more ideas!
Cool im the third viewer and nice video i will use the tips when i make my small desk table city. You also really like that mini its in so many videos :)
These are some pretty great ideas JC! I do have a question. When I was younger I tried to fit as many dynamic scenes in as possible. Do you have any thoughts on having too many of 'em, or do you think you can't have enough? I think I will incorporate some more dynamic scenes ideas into my city, 'cause they're pretty great :D
Thanks! Great question. I think there is almost never too much if the dynamic scene fit the context and surrounding, like a real city. I gave one technique of randomness. So, that should be used sparingly and in that case, there can be too many random scenes as too many would not he realistic.
@Small Brick City Interesting thoughts. I agree. Too much randomness also gets rid of the realism (the dinosaur you talked about XD) Or 3 bank robberies at the same time. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it :D
I struggle on positioning, because I have two big modular, the Parisian Restaurant and the Diner, I feel that if I have them next to each other it would look weird because my smaller, 16x32 modulars will look weird with them aswell.
It could be the colour of your smaller modulars. Maybe they contrast too strongly against the two big ones. Consider the alley idea? I suggest taking cheap grey plastic files with plastic covers and cut them to a 8 x 32 size to act as an alley plate.
I honestly have no problem with creating scenes in my Lego City I have a building on fire with firetrucks shooting water at it and there are people running and there is a traffic jam on the street(I have a big imagination)
You should host a scene picture contest among your subscribers. That way we can all enjoy ideas from others. Of course JC you could not participate because we want others to win😉
Small tip, JC: Pose minifigure’s legs. The way you have them makes it look like everyone is just standing around.
A lego city needs life. Your video is inspirational. My favorite scene is the animals chasing the pet shop employee or caretaker..
Thanks! Cool!
Really good video with some really good tips.
My favourite scene was the woman threatening the corn man with scissors.
Haha thanks! Glad you liked it

Awesome! Looking forward to see an update!

Thanks! You got the "formula" right!

So imaginative!

Haha all kids are like that! Dumb kids 😂😂
Nice tips. I like to see city action scenes in the LEGO city builds myself. Nice video!
Thanks!
I always love to make scenes when I am just brutally destroying my trucks and playing with them. GREAT VIDEO
Thanks! Car crashes are always fun!
Lots of great tips. I think I need to think up some more dynamic scenes for my city.
Thanks! You have quite a busy city and scenes. Probably can use a bit more conflict :)
Late to the game but great work as always.
This is great and for my one of the most motivating video's. Because I have no room for a City . I can do this for video' s. Thanks 👍👍JC
Awesome! Look forward to your scenes!
Great video. It’s such a great topic. Nice job!
Thank you again . For these videos I'm learning so much . Can't wait to start building my city again .
You are welcome! Thanks!
Great vid

The corn guy scene is subtle :-) Yes, buskers is a great idea. To add conflict, I would have a pickpocket in the crowd :-P
Love your story telling 🤩
Thank you!
Thank you for that awesome video. I really enjoyed it and took a lot of inspiration out of it. I tried to put several scenes into my city but your video gives me a whole lot more ideas!
Do a one on how to build a food car
I love it !! ;) It's cool :)
Thanks!
Wow. You are good at what you do. Thanks for all these great tips.
Question. Does it effect you in any way if I skip the ads?
Thanks! If you do not skip the ads, TH-cam probably gives me a couple more cents of ad revenue :-D
Cool video
Your in the video LOL
Lol
Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
all the minifigs are standing still for more realistic scenes make them be walking or running

Plot twist: the ginger haired woman tried to murder the corn guy...

Thanks!
The kid could be dropping the popcorn to make the cat follow him home
Very possible.
Maybe the phone van is for people who want to make a call so they call the van to make a call
I honestly have no problem with creating scenes in my Lego City I have a building on fire with firetrucks shooting water at it and there are people running and there is a traffic jam on the street(I have a big imagination)
Sounds awesome! Very creative!
Hi
hi dude!
Hi!

I think that is a great idea! I will think what I will do this for.
I hope I have lego
It’s me
