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.
