The Lego figure moving while the elevator was moving was an impressive touch
-
If this man had been around in the stone age we’d be exploring the galaxy by now
-
Can i just say that I really love the sound design of the stop-motion bits. It's so satisfying to hear the minifig's little footsteps
-
5:45 is the little step above that shows so much passion goes into making the video. We know that there's a story of putting it together, testing it and encountering the problem and realising that something you hadn't ever thought of makes perfect sense.
-
I wonder if anyone has acknowledged the fantastic photography of these videos. The contrast of the background, the saturated colors, rhe superb lighting... Not only is BEC creative with LEGO, they are demonstrating excellent skills in cinematography.
-
3:08 OMG the little climb onto the platform 😂
-
God, I used to work at a sugar factory with a man lift. Using that is anxiety inducing. Got a 12"×18" board to stand on and a handhold just barely big enough to grab hold of going up 300 feet with nothing around you.

Babe wake up, brick experiment channel just dropped
-
as a lift/elevator enthusiast, it was fun to see how a lot of these ideas are ones actually used for real elevators. #2 is like climbing elevators commonly used in building construction, #6 is like hydraulic elevators and #7 is like traction elevators which is the most common type :D also #10 is like a paternoster
-
If you ever make a part 2, please build a Paternoster Lift. It's a loop of lift cars on a continous loop, where there are two shafts (One up and one down) next to each other and cars switch between the two. It's like the belt lift at the end, but you don't have to stand on the ceiling. Also I know it's a bit ambitious for LEGO, but it would be cool to see a Linear Induction Motor lift, which are currently being tested in various parts of the world.

Should have added the "giant human hand" elevator
-
I feel like Elevator #8 (chain drive w/ magnets) requires strict weight/occupancy limits. "What did you guys have for lunch? All you can eat buffet? You fellas outta take the stairs!"
-
That last one looks good for lifting people out of poisonous swamps. Perhaps it could even be powered by a small dog.
-
I could actually watch these for years
-
Now i want to see which lifts the heaviest
-
that belt lift animation was SMOOTH
-
The extra effort of climbing onto the Parallelogram lift platform was just incredible attention to detail!
-
What I like the most about this video is that the noises it makes is just the minimum noises that wouldve been made when building these things. No rubbing, tapping, bumping, etc just to make more noise
-
Ngl, I don't think all of these are gonna get OSHA certified.
-
The stop motion on the belt manlift must have been very difficult. This is one of my favorite videos ever so far.
