If you never got round to watching Jurassic World at the cinema then worry no more because now you can catch-up on all the action with this 90-second video made from Lego. Yes, you read that right. The short video includes all the major plot points of the film and even gets a cheeky reference to Chris Pratt’s most famous film character Star Lord (from Guardians Of The Galaxy) in there. Made by YouTube channel Brotherhood Workshop who make ‘awesome stop-motion and fantasy videos’ the video has already had over 120,000 views in two days. Stomp stomp stomp (Picture: Brotherhood Workshop) Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the Brotherhood revealed that the project took ‘about 3 weeks and 200 man hours to complete (give or take)’ and that the inspiration was purely the sheer success of the film at the box office: ‘I decided a parody/summary video might be a good choice.’ It was definitely a good choice – we particularly liked it when the hybrid dino looks at the guards and is all ‘no big deal’ and stamps on their heads.
The Brotherhood Workshop have also posted videos for films such as Scooby Doo, The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, The Hobbit, and Star Wars on the channel but admit ‘it’s hard to say what is next for Brotherhood Workshop’. They have however just launched a fundraising campaign on the website Patreon and ‘if that goes well I hope to invest a lot more time and energy into my YouTube channel, and perhaps do a few original stories in addition to parodies’.

This Parks and Recreation BTS footage suggests he did…Lego version of Rivendell from 'The Hobbit' is almost as beautiful as the real thing See all Editor's Picks The Daily Dot Bazaar One of the most beautiful locations in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy is Rivendell, home to Elrond and the Elves. Whether it’s described in J.R.R. Tolkien’s books or seen in Peter Jackson’s films, Rivendell is always stunning.
Perhaps that’s why it's no surprise that the location translates beautifully into a Lego creation that will leave you speechless! YouTube channel Beyond the Brick interviewed Ben Pitchford, the man behind this Lego Rivendell, at Brickworld Chicago. The structure, which stands about four feet tall, took Pitchford about a year to complete. His family assisted with the project, which is modeled after the version of Rivendell seen in the first Hobbit film. You can see Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins, and the entire dwarf company in the highly detailed replica.Pitchford has proposed a smaller version of his creation on the Lego Ideas website. It has more than 7,220 supporters, but it needs 10,000 before Lego will consider making it an actual set.This smaller version would include approximately 10 buildings and more than 20 minifigures. The mountain from the Pitchford's massive original creation, however, would not be included.You can learn more about the project on its Lego Ideas page and can find additional Lego interviews, news, and more on the Beyond the Brick YouTube channel.

I'm not sure why, but after so many of them, they kind of lost their spark. This short YouTube clip is pretty great though, and I'm thinking that maybe Lego just makes everything better.

I started doing animation when I was 11-years-old. My imagination was captivated by movies like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and I wanted to make these sorts of films myself. However, I lacked resources, and didn’t want to shoot videos with my brothers running around the back yard. What I wanted was to create and build other worlds that I could explore and have adventures in. LEGO bricks gave me the medium to build these worlds, and stop-motion allowed me to create my adventures. A video Kevin directed and animated in collaboration with LEGO. When I went to college, I originally expected that I would be giving up stop-motion in order to focus on live action filmmaking. This was not the case. I quickly discovered that, even though I was at film school, I again did not have the resources I needed in order to make the movies I wanted to make.
I spent my time at school working on a single large project: a half-hour claymation fantasy adventure. Many of my professors and classmates were very impressed, and I had high hopes that the film would launch my career. After a year of running it in the festival circuit, however, I still had no funding for a feature and no job offers. Discouraged and convinced that my stop-motion days were over, I stopped pursuing this dream of having an award winning indie film and got myself a job as a video editor. The job was fun at first, but after two years I found myself feeling creatively stifled and fed up.I knew that I needed to make a change. At this time, LEGO released their Lord of the Rings products. Perhaps it was the boredom that I felt, but my inner 12-year-old couldn’t control himself. I wanted an excuse to go purchase a few of these sets. One day while commuting to my home, the thought popped into my head, “Why don’t you try making some parody videos, using LEGOs?”
So I swung by the LEGO store, bought a few sets, and put together my first film over the weekend. While I had my job, I would still make time for my passion. I started working on brickfilms in the evenings and weekends, and began building my YouTube channel. I was inspired by other YouTubers, such as “How it Should Have Ended,” and I had noticed a while back that short, funny, parodies seemed very likely to go viral. As a result of this observation, my videos have been mainly humorous ones based on my favorite franchises. One of the more popular videos from “How It Should Have Ended.” Another one of my inspirations was my old classmate, Zach King, who, with his channel, “FinalCutKing,” had done exceedingly well as a YouTuber. I was just starting, and I needed advice, so I called him up and he gave me some really great words of wisdom. A very fun video with 21mm views from “FinalCutKing.” Crucially, once my first video was finished, Zach helped me promote it with his fanbase.
He really liked it and shared it on his social media, giving me the kick-start I needed to get my channel going. Within 2 weeks of its release, the video had gotten over 100,000 views, and I had an immediate fanbase asking for more. BrotherhoodWorkshop’s first LEGO film, all the way back in August of 2012. I’m usually a lone wolf with my productions. I occasionally bring in friends to do VFX, LEGO building, or music, but I primarily work alone. A BTS video showing the stunning amount of work that goes into a Brotherhood Workshop film. In order to have a ton of relevance, I start by finding a film that’s currently super mainstream. In the past, these films have included The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic World, and the Marvel movies. I look for logical inconsistencies, or imagine different ways that a scene could play out. Once I develop an idea, I’ll typically begin animating immediately. The key is to get the video finished while the film is still popular, and hopefully before someone else makes the same joke.
I make an effort to think of jokes that my viewers will connect with. I want to relate to them. I want them to say, “Oh my gosh, I should have thought of that!” or, “Yes, I so agree!” or, “That’s a really good point.” A great example of all this would be my video, “Star-Lord’s Mix Tape.” When watching Guardians of the Galaxy, I kept thinking, “Wouldn’t that tape have worn out after 20 years?” And that became the premise for the video. Because so many viewers also grew up with cassette tapes and could personally relate to the frustrations of a tape wearing out or jamming, the video went viral, receiving over 215,000 views in a single day. I personally am a big fan of humor that pokes fun at movies. I like twisting expectations, making bad guys cute, good guys mean, or simply having something completely random happen out of nowhere. Very thankfully, I’ve been able to find an audience who enjoys my sense of humor. Do you have any questions for me?
