In Episode 5 of Tales From The Brick, Jon (8 Bit Bricks) is joined by Ridwan, better known as Ridzbricks, a professional creative director, filmmaker, and LEGO content creator who breaks down what actually makes great LEGO content online.

Ridzbricks shares his LEGO journey—from childhood hand-me-down bricks and classic sets like Blacktron, through his dark ages, and back into the hobby via building with his daughter. He talks about how moving into a dedicated LEGO space reignited his passion and eventually led him into content creation, first through minifigure photography on Instagram and later across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

The conversation dives deep into practical, no-nonsense advice for creators: what a “hook” really is, how to stop the scroll, why editing and cutting the fat matters, and how content should entertain, educate, or inspire (ideally more than one at once). Ridzbricks explains why you don’t need expensive gear to start, how lighting and audio actually work, why phones are more than good enough, and how overthinking equipment often stops people from creating at all.

They also talk candidly about LEGO’s explosion in recent years—set volume, rising prices, shrinking discounts, and how the flood of content has changed the community. The episode closes with honest advice about authenticity, not being precious with your content, learning from failure, and why the most important step is simply pressing record and making the video.
