He Loves My Pies


YouTube via UrsHeckmann
"This is a little music video in brickfilm-style for our song He Loves My Pies. This was initially thought to be a demo tune for my new ACE synthesizer turned into a pretty funny parody song. Which simply begged to be visualised with those Legos that were lurking in my closet. I couldn't resist to mix bricks with photos and 70ies style video effects though.

The song was completely mixed in Logic with 24 tracks of ACE and 8 tracks for vocals. There's no EQ or anything anywhere, just a few compressors on the vocals.

The photos were shot with a Canon EOS 30D SLR and grabbed with Dragon Stop Motion. Some photos were made the common way, such as the cat, the pies, the beach and the desert. These were then composited and animated in After Effects CS3.

The ultimate trick for quick & dirty bluescreen technique: Use a computer monitor with a green image as a background while shooting the legos ;-)

Enjoy,"

  3. Oustanding Urs! Did you hire some sort of supercomputer to run 24 instances of ACE?

    When you're done with the programming on the Berlin suite, Zebra update etc. I'd definitely be in the market for a lego sequencer :)

  4. Thanks guys!

    Hehehe, MongooseNZ, I just ran them on my 3 year old machine. But the song is arranged so that they don't play all at the same time ;)
