Willem Dafoe's monologue from the 2019 film, "The Lighthouse", directed by Robert Eggers, but it's animated in Blender with creepy Lego Minifigures. The animation process took around 4 months. A lot of it was trial and error, learning how Blender worked, and a lot of it was troubleshooting tech issues and random lighting bugs and glitches that I had to figure out how to deal with along the way. But in the end, it was worth it.
This was supposed to be an animation test since this was my first time using Blender, but it ended up becoming a full-blown animation, so enjoy! I wanted to see if creating Lego animations on a computer through Blender was similar to traditional stop motion animation, the kind I'm used to. And... it kind of is? This was definitely a fun, but at times frustrating, and tedious experiment.
Watch until the end for some Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga tributes :).

IMPORTANT NOTE: WATCH IN 4K FOR BEST COMPRESSION QUALITY, the animation wasn’t rendered at a true 4K (more like something below 720p), but YouTube’s compression is absolutely awful, so I had to export it at a 4K upscale so the bitrate wouldn’t be so bad.
Created using Blender, with Mecabricks and the EpicFigRig.
