Benjamin Ely is an American brickfilmer. He is known for multiple films that have won Bricks in Motion contests including Sola Luna and MECH, and is also known for his series of Captain D. Rom films. He became the administrator of Bricks in Motion in 2018.

History
Benjamin Ely began brickfilming in 2007 after being inspired by a LEGO animation segment on ABC's iCaught. Ely created over sixty brickfilms between 2007 and 2009, until he became more interested in making live action non-LEGO video content.

In 2011, Ely began creating brickfilms again and posting them on his and his brother's YouTube channel, crediting LEGO Universe for a refreshed source of inspiration. He brickfilmed inconsistently for the next few years until joining Bricks in Motion in 2014, eventually becoming a moderator in 2016, and site administrator in 2018.
