Let me introduce you the latest member of my lego band: American horror writer Stephen King! I haven't told it yet, but my new obsession is him and I am really fond of his plots, characters, backgrounds, style, stories, etc... Plus, he is a super writing mentor to me, giving as much technic advices as tips on routine, motivation and mental. Thanks Mr. King!!!
Still preparing his appearance...
Tadaa!!! As you can notice, I made him look like in the 1970s.
I've also been lucky to get a pic of him in his writing room. You don't know how it is hard to get those kinf of pics... Even human Stephen King is pictured only once while working, you know, on this pic you can see on the On Writing cover. Still, as a lego, you can yet get nice pics of him, such as this one with the ABBA legos:
As you may imagine by seeing this pic, A, B, B & F were cheerful to welcome the writer that inspired the lyrics of The Piper. Let's hope they'll collaborate as legos and go on with getting on well together!
Today is the last one of the year! :P So I have to do a review. 2014 was a super great fun wonderful year for ABBA fans like us. I really liked the Waterloo celebrations and all that stuff. :D I unfortunately didn't go to the Tate Modern party on the April 7th, but I saw vids on YT and it looked so great fun! :D Actually, 2014 is for me the best post-ABBA year of the early 21th century! :D :D I'm a bit sad it's finish now and time went so fast. :( I'd like to be again in April! :P In my own year, I went to Stockholm in May and this was super great! (even if I didn't meet ABBA) And I've loved making my ESC animation and all my other vids! :D But the best event of year wasn't these ones. In fact, it's simply my web meeting with my great and wonderful friend Becky, alias ABBAFan456. :D I really get on with her. :D It's just so sad that a few thousands of kilometers are between us. :( And, of course, speaking or meetings, the one in Paris with the french ABBA fan club was so great, too. I thank them again for welcoming me. :D They're all so nice. I love meeting other ABBA fans from France or abroad. :)
My next animation is Super Trouper. I'm currently make it, but now I haven't any idea for the second verse. :( The good new is that I changed my camera! :D Now the pics I take are SOOOO better! :D I made a demo of my animation when I was making it.
Let's show the three last videos I've post. The first one is the trailer of my serie project "The ABBA's adventures". Unfortunately, I'm maybe going to delete this serie because I've tons of problems with that. :( I'll film again the first episode when I've finished my Super Trouper animation. The second one is about my trip to Stockholm and the last one the first video of my new tutorial serie. :P

Now you've seen all the videos I've already posted! :P I'll put the demos of the news ones to advert you. :)
Wa wa wa Waterloo...: The video I'm going to show was made for the 40th ESC birthday. :) The two next ones are the first episode of my serie "My ABBA and related to ABBA collection" and another brickfilm.
ABBA - Waterloo (1974 live ESC performance)\Lego version
Here we go again with two other videos! After the three "better quality version", I began to make regular brickfilms with "The captive (brickfilm)" and videoclips of songs which aren't ABBA's songs.
Now, let's speak about the two videos I put between my three first one and their "better quality version". These are the first episode of my "making-of" serie, "the ABBA members in my videos, their costumes and the extras" and my Happy New Year animation (the first one in which I used Windows Movie Maker) which is SOOOOOOOOO much better than the other if you compare the quality. :)
Here are them:
The ABBA members in my videos, their costumes and the extras
Untiln ow, I'v made 16 videos for Youtube. I put the first one (ABBA - Money Money Money (1976)\ Lego version) on the October 29th 2013. At this times, I hadn't found my software (Windows Movie Maker) yet, so I filmed with a first camera which makes automaticely stop motions, then I filmed my animation with a second camera and meanwhile I put the soundtrack on the CD player. With this technic, the quality was SOOO bad. >_< Fortunately, I found WMMaker after and edit my three first videos again. :)
Here are the original version of these ones:

I'll show you my other videos (in wich the 2 ones I made before the "better quality version") later!!! :)
So, as I told you, I love making brickfilms and animations with legos, especially videoclips of songs (guess which songs). So I made the ABBA members in legos! :) Here are them:
Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad
Benny Andersson
Bjorn Ulvaeus (I'll change his hair some day)
Agnetha Faltskog
I also made Stig Anderson (ABBA's manager), Michael B. Tretow (ABBA's sound engineer), Rutger Gunnarson (bassist), Ola Brunkert (drummer) and Sven-Olaf Walldof dressed as Napoleon. I'll show them later. :)
