Kevin Ulrich is an American brickfilmer. He is known for being the main director behind the YouTube channel BrotherhoodWorkshop, where he primarily creates parody brickfilms based on properties such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Jurassic World.[1] He is also frequently commissioned by The LEGO Group to create promotional brickfilms for them, which has comprised the majority of his work in recent years.
History 
Edit
Kevin Ulrich was inspired to begin brickfilming in 2000 at age 11 upon learning about the LEGO Studios MovieMaker Set. He saved up the money to buy the set, but his dad instead offered to sell him a Handycam, as it would make for a better quality camera.[2] Ulrich began brickfilming in November 2000[3] without using a computer, filming with the Handycam and recording sound with a tape recorder.[4] He continued brickfilming until around age 18.[5] Most of his brickfilms from this time period have never been shared online.
