A LEGO Brickumentary Page #3

the gentleman on the balcony

has actually got

a little bit of a surprise,

and he's got this ring in his hand.

That will help him hopefully

marry his girlfriend.

The job, it's amazing.

I don't want to oversell it

that, you know,

there's rivers of chocolate milk

and massages on Tuesdays.

You know, it's a job.

But it's an amazing job.

You almost wonder, like,

how long can this last?

Is this for real?

Another coveted job at the LEGO company

is that of master builder.

Like the designers,

master builders are, well,

masters at building with LEGO bricks.

But they get to think outside the box.

So as a master builder, we get to do

everything it takes to make our models,

we design models,

we do a pretty good mixture.

We do everything

from little tiny models,

all the way up to human beings.

It's always going to be different.

Every model poses its own challenge.

Sometimes it's

the sheer size of the models.

Ultimately, at the end of the day,

it's really just pushing the bounds

of what you can do with LEGO,

being creative and being artistic

and all these amazing things.

Today the master builders

are working on a huge project

that'll be seen all over the world:

the setting for The LEGO Movie.

The nicest thing about

working for LEGO is that

we have all of the pieces we need.

It's something that most

people would just dream of.

For this particular city,

I got to sit down and

order whatever I wanted.

As far as the plot of the movie,

I really don't know a lot about it.

Um, there's a lot more than just this

that's going to be in this movie,

that we're all working on

at the same time.

And it's a monumental undertaking.

Weeks later, their LEGO city arrives

and is reassembled by Paul's team

on a soundstage in Los Angeles.

It serves as the setting

for the live action sequences

in Will Ferrell's basement.

Okay, clearing guys, please.

Action.

Yeah, it's been kind of crazy,

we've had, uh,

we're shooting for five days

of live action

and the movie's mostly animated.

And we've built this ridiculous

LEGO model back there.

We built it ourselves.

Personally, with our bare hands.

Actually, we had a team

of super master builders.

And it turned out pretty awesome.

It's pretty ridiculous.

These guys have been working on it

in Connecticut for, like, three months.

And then, of course,

the first thing we do is go,

okay, we're going to smash all of this.

So there's a city,

there's sort of a castle world

that we're calling Middle Zealand.

There's a pirate ship.

Some classic space stuff from '79.

We heard we would get some free LEGOs.

Yeah! I'm literally doing this

for one classic space ship.
