Othrug is coming! Here's a teaser for my new short film. This time, I'm taking you into a fantasy world. The action begins in the orc village of Arganvlagh in the Nugh-Mefg desert. You may know it from my LEGO MOCs. Othrug is an honorable warrior living by ancient traditions. Fate will lead him on a journey through mysterious lands filled with danger.

The full film runs 5 minutes and 47 seconds. It was shot entirely using classic stop-motion techniques. Several thousand photos were taken, which, when played back at 24 frames per second, create a stunning stop-motion animation. There's no AI and no computer-generated imagery. Everything is analog, real, and built with LEGO bricks.

Production took about two months, and it's the first film I've made in a long time purely for myself. Not for a competition. Not for a client. Just for the joy of creating! After years of working with The LEGO Group and Universal Pictures, returning to a personal project like this has been incredibly refreshing. I'm genuinely excited about what I've created, and I consider it the best film I've ever made :)

And now, enjoy the teaser! I intentionally kept it short and avoided revealing too much of the story.

P.S. I'll be on the YouTube live chat before, during, and for a while after the premiere. If you have any questions about the film or how it was made, I'll be happy to answer them!
