I've started my own series. I got 2 episodes made. 1. Rise of the Dark Lord and 2. Kinights of Doom. Here's the site. http://www.freewebs.com/lgbs_/ What ya guys think?

mmm maybe work on making it a actual film, this seems to just be pictures. also you need sound and stuff. and probly better lego gb's then that. good attempt though i guess.

you need some animations skills. but good idea and attempt, yes. just need to have something to make it a little more interesting, like some animation and your characters moving and interacting.

Go for stop-motion! I always wanted to do a Ghostbusters 3 but in stop motion using lego, until I realised I don't have enough pieces for a whole ecto, or firehouse… or packs… you get the idea.

Ahh, two of my favorite things – Lego and Ghostbusters. I can remember building various ghostbusters HQs throughout the years when i was growing up (sadly they all got destroyed).

I like your attempt at a series. I would have to agree with others that have commented though about going for a stop motion approach. Take a look at my website, http://www.djfilms.net or go to brickfilms.com, for some example animations and a few guides to get you started. Looks like you've already got the sounds / music available, so all you would need is to work on the animation part and you're set.

I've been meaning to rebuild my Ghostbusters firehouse for a while now (read: couple years), but after 3 moves it's taken a slight beating and is now a few states away from me. Hopefully i'll get the motivation to redesign it and complete the interior, because then i'd definitely make a few short clips! At least the basement is still in tact~!

Also, in regards to your sets… try to scrounge up all the lego you can, put some walls around the firehouse sections… this might help focus the viewer in on what you want them to see, instead of seeing your untied shoe lying off to the side (don't worry, i've done similar things in my early animations).

Anyways, keep working on it, like all good ideas you've gotta start somewhere, and just because something isn't as polished as you'd like it, doesn't mean you should give up on it. I personally think lego lends itself very well to Ghostbusters since a lot of the effects for ghosts and crazy happenings can be easily done via stop motion tricks


Note: currently working on a Lego Ghostbusters maxifig display for Halloween (think foot tall brick built ghostbusters hooked up with working lights and sounds via Lego Robotics)
