More on the Lego Movies

So, since I am moving I can't do many more Lego creations for a while. I can't wait to get my Legos unpacked though! It'll be a few weeks.

My usual technique for making a movie is to just do it. No script, no plan, and no tri-pod. I just do it as I go. I go with the flow. Now, I have decided that it is best to write an entire script and get everything ready before I start shooting a movie.

One of the biggest problems with Windows Movie Maker is that that there is only one audio line. That means music and sound effects can't be added at the same time. Which to me, kinda sucks. There are two ways to get around this though, but they can drive me nuts at times.

I'm itching to use it in my next movie! Okay, I'll tell you even though it's a trade secret. First, drag and drop the pictures or video clips onto the timeline. Then find the music that you want to use and right click on it and hit "Add to timeline." It's easy to place and edit the length of the music by simply putting your cursor at the beginning or end or the music to adjust it. Then go to the video transitions. There, find a suitable transition to use. Make sure not to drag and drop the transition. Just do the same thing that you did with the music. The second that you hit the "Add to timeline" button, a second audio line will appear! Then it's as simple as draging and dropping the effects onto the other timeline. Easy as pie!

Here is my good friend LegoAlienGuy894's Lego movie. I learned a lot of the "Lego-movie-know-how" from him over the internet.



I am planning on making a Christmas Lego movie with a new character never before seen! Anyway, it is going to have full music (gutair I think), full sound effects, steady video--the whole nine yards. I can't start it now because I'm moving but make sure to keep your eyes peeled! I am going to spend a lot of time editing and perfecting it before I release it on my blog and on Lego.com.

I will be looking foward to hearing your comments on my blog and e-mails from everybody!
