    That's simply amazing. I can't believe you built the bus on a bus; that's not a quick build! I've built most of those sets as well, but just on my dining room table.
    Given you're heading to Paris...well, I won't spoil, but if you're doing what I imagine you're going to do...wow.

    • @HalfAsleepChris
      @HalfAsleepChris  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks a lot! The bus on a bus was actually one of the easiest - I got to seat down on a comfy seat with a lap-tray - some of the more public / exposed ones like Buckingham Palace were a lot more difficult and fiddly. Still, great fun. Paris will be a good one... :)

    0:27 this is actually one of the biggest reasons castle fans were upset when Lego got rid of the old grays - their yellowish undertone makes them look more like weathered stone masonry (ironically the new ones are called "stone gray").

    There are 2,108 individual frames of stop-motion animation
    Thanks to Danielle, my Dad, my Mum and Geoff Marshall for helping me film & carry these LEGO sets all over London!
    The stop-motion building of Trafalgar Square at 0:58 is fake, sort of. My original real take was unusable, but when I returned to refilm it, there was a huge stage set up in the square. Instead, I filmed it in my garden to match the outdoor lighting, and superimposed it on top of a timelapse I had

    Superb content here that I have just discovered. Great ideas, and even better execution. The amount of work you put into this is huge, and it results in a snappy video that never bores and speeds like a train. If I compare this to the content that most lego channels have, you are stellar. The good ones present well-edited reviews and features all shot in a short time span in one location (I like those). The bad ones are boring single take affairs, and badly filmed. You are an example for them all.
