Captain Zuloo

Hey and welcome to my newest tutorial on the subject of making brickfilms. Now before you follow this tutorial, you should check out Basic Filming and Walking at 15fps tutorials. Converting Video This is important for me, as when I animate with SMA, the output is an avi. file, but Vegas Movie Studio only accepts wmv. files. So in keeping with my quest to teach you how to brickfilm with a minimum budget, I present to you my free video converter of choice. NCH Prism Video Converter. It has a 30-day trial that has no watermarks or anything like that. Just that it expires. But it is a tiny program that can be downloaded and installed in less than a minute even on a dial-up connection so you could just uninstall and grab the trial when you need it. The trial version can be downloaded directly from here. What's more, it can be used on Windows or Mac. How do I use Prism? It's not that hard really. All you need to do is: 1. Click "Add Files" 2. Find the video you want to convert and click ok. 3. Choose your output file type. (eg. avi. wmv. mpeg. etc.) 4. Click "Browse" to find the directory you want to store the video and click ok. 5. Click "Convert" That's it! Then you have a non-watermarked video for use in your editing application in 5 easy steps. Good luck! Next: Editing in Windows Movie Maker

giant snake which slithered straight past them and was never seen again.

My sigfig doesn't need reference. It's just what you see in my avatar. This with a red single feather plume and a film camera. Also, have you seen my tutorials? Basic Animation and Walking. And, you're obviously quite a keen brickfilmer, so let us know what you think about the creation of a Eurobricks brickfilming forum here.

Ran up to the chest, and looked inside. Andthey were happy enough to find plenty of jems, but under the jems lay the real treasure - the lost fabuland collection.

After trecking for hours, Zorro said "Why do we have to do this? We are stuck in a wet, smelly cave and it's not even my fabuland collection." Dennimator slapeed Zorro around the face and they continued walking. Then they came to a fork in the road, and out walked Captain Zuloo. "Oh! This is no good!" cried Captain Zuloo. "This is the seventh time this has happened!" "We'll walk as a group from now on." suggested Dennimator and everyone agreed. So they all started trooping down the long cave passage where they found Hinckley in a corner reading a picture book. They picked him up and continued down the passage where they found...

As the fireflies were buzzing around, a figure with a lantern started walking toward them. As he emerged from the shadows, they realised it was Captain Zuloo. "I thought you were dead!" said Zorro slightly suprised. "Well I'm not" replied Captain Zuloo. "Now come with me and we'll have some food and wash you up, then we'll find that fabuland collection."

Do you just buy gears from the local hardware store?

"Shut Up!" said a newly arrived Mr Tiber who fired a cannon at the alien who copped the cannon and with his last dying breath picked up Mr Tiber and promptly ate him before exploding into a million bricks.

Gee he's a mean one. He gives out the most evil titles...But if we look to Hinckley for protection, he will probably just whack us.

Zorro, who could see they were clearly outnumbered by this giant robot said to Joe, "Hello. We come in peace. We would like to be your friend." And Joe said...

Well if the gears are broken, you're stuffed. I meant do the step by step thingo for your next effort with a good motor.

A giant alien robot came crashing down the street stepping on cars and zombies destroying them both. It eliminated the zombies, then turned to the heroes and said...

this newly found ability with a bazooker could come in handy. And he proceede to shoot...

Ay mate! I agree with tha! An G'day to all you new blokes! (Aussies don't really talk like that. I'm just taking the mickey out of myself and fellow country citizens! )

Submarine surfaced and Captain Zuloo climbed out. He walked off of the submarine and pulled a second foldable helicopter out of his pocket. He climbed in and took off far from the lake, and started shooting the obviously evil and non-obeying zombies with the machine guns on his helicopter.

"You have summoned me you little wastes of space!". "No" replied the heroes. "Well" said Darth Vader. "Then I shall be off!". Darth Vader flew up into the sky, and as they all watched his departure, a helicopter came into view. It was Captain Zuloo filming the whole ordeal on his movie camera. "Cut" he yelled and the zombies stood motionless. "Aw" complained Zorro. "We were just starting to have fun too!" "Well" said Captain Zuloo. "You should have thought of that when you signed the contract at your audition."

Ooooooh! I'm not going to sleep well tonight... :pir-skull:

Well you have Mister Phes, SlyOwl, ImperialShadows, Skipper 24, Mister oo7, Mr Tiber and Captain Zuloo to thank for that!

Do you have a link on youtube or another video hosting site?

Nah mate. Problem solved a while ago. Classic-Pirates.com has been WordPress driven for some time now. Check it out. Click Here. Someone should probably close this topic.

You never know mate, you never know...

True - I don't think the blood is valid, but string is one of the only non-lego exeptions. So he's fine with that.

But then it might start to look a bit like warhamer. And I really like the plastic-y look of LEGO. If they went with gold for minifig wear, it could become a little to un-LEGO if anyone is insane enough to understand what I mean!

Yeah but that's to be expected for LEGO these days. It really just depends on how dedicated to the hobby you are and how much your wallet will allow.
