Dan EfranParticipantI decided it was time for me to do some LEGO stop-motion animation. Enjoy!

Benjamin C GoodParticipantI el-oh-el’ed at “That took me a month”. Very impressive and well done; I enjoyed it.
I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment. Are there pics of your studio setup somewhere?

Dan EfranParticipantGlad you were entertained! The next scene will probably be a car chase, but don’t hold your breath; it will likely be literally years before I get to it. I have some other possible brickfilms in mind, so you might see something else first…but it still might be a long way off.
No pictures of the setup, sorry; it was very simple — mostly just the two “sets” and a few lights, and a big piece of blue paper for the sky. The real trick was the camera: my iPhone, mounted on a custom LEGO camera dolly, acting as the remote controlled camera for a stop-motion animation app on my iPad. The dolly let me move and turn the camera in small measured increments and the two-devices approach meant I didn’t have to touch the camera when capturing frames. Maybe I’ll post pictures of the dolly at some point, but it’s not pretty.

I had to work in a “gadget” somehow. Whistle commands for a car seemed very plausible to me, and what else would Q call that feature in Bond’s car?

Greg SchubertParticipantAwesome work! I like how much this fits the Bond movie genre, especially the feminine silhouettes with the fiery background.
