Speed Builds I Spent 24 Hours Animating This NOSTALGIC LEGO® Sea Serpent Speed Build Stop Motion

No AI, 1,294 pictures taken (24 fps), 24 hours (building scenography, animating, editing), fueled by 6 coffees. Initially, I was thinking about a default setting for this speed build (my desk, no extra scenography), but since this set is so nostalgic, I couldn't resist mimicking the vibe from the original LEGO 6057 Sea Serpent box design.

How do you make the pieces look like they are floating before falling into place?

It's sticky tack - I put it under each piece before they eventually land into place. If you manage to pause, you may actually see it (I try to put it as much as possible in the back of each piece, but sometimes sticky tack is clearly visible when you pause)

Superb work! I did a stop-motion Space film in Super 8mm decades ago and I still recall very keenly how grueling and time consuming this can be.

LOVE the wave effect, LOVE the minifigs spinning around as they materialize.

Great stuff!

LEGO should hire you to lead their marketing team.  This is fantastic, totally captured the spirit of LEGO.
