The LEGO Ninjago Movie Trailer analysis
Warner Bros. Pictures released the first full trailer for “The LEGO Ninjago Movie Trailer” today and I went through frame by frame to analyze some of the cool animation techniques.
When Lloyd flips across a roof, check out how they added stretch and squash using brick-built motion smears.
Sensei Wu uses white windshield pieces for a motion smear on his kick.
And his staff uses a variety of pieces for motion smears in this attack (the lipstick piece doesn’t actually exist in black, but every other piece used here does).
Even though this film is CGI, the fact that they treat it like a stop-motion LEGO movie means that brickfilmers can steal lots of ideas and techniques for their own movies.
Also, I can’t wait to buy this Legshark Mech
What did you notice in the trailer?
