I saw that earlier today thanks to CartoonBrew.

The Star Wars one is pretty funny too.

I wonder if "legomation" has ever been catalogued as such. It's usually referred to as stop motion, but the amount of films done with Lego grows larger by the years.

Oh! Is that the one made from LEGOs? I love that one! I was laughing hysterically at that. It looked like they went to a lot of trouble doing that.

...Do they have any others, like Star Wars or Pirates of the Caribbean? That would be cool.

Ok..

As if that Spidey figure isn't the absolute --coolest-- Lego man in existence.

I'm impressed with the continuity of the art direction between LegoManhattan and the film's...

This film was made by our forums own timdrage.

If you havent seen Spites other work, goto their website and checkout the Han Solo Affair.

These guys are good, and they are the pioneers to the whole legomation genre. To which there is a pretty active community over at brickfilms.com and LOTS of animations.

Excuse me Mr. Genius...where in the world have you been hiding all these years?

My god that was fantastic....One thing (of many) that got a great laugh out of me is the apocalyptic music, well timed with the sound effects of battle...These sound effects of course being little plastic plunks. I absolutely loved it.

One thing you managed well with stop motion as well, was getting the characters off the ground so convincingly. I've seen many stop motion films where you could feel the restriction of a real object and gravity, but in this case, you had it all moving freely, with motion blurrs, and nice camera angles.

Go! Go! Go!

Hi!
Thanks for the nice comments everyone, glad you enjoyed our film!

I wonder if "legomation" has ever been catalogued as such. It's usually referred to as stop motion, but the amount of films done with Lego grows larger by the years.

"Brickfilms" seems to be the term that has caught on rather than 'legomation' for various reasons (not least the trademarked nature of "LEGO"). The spiritual home of LEGO moviemaking online (as already mentioned) is www.brickfilms.com, you can find a terrifyingly large number of films there! :)

One thing you managed well with stop motion as well, was getting the characters off the ground so convincingly.

Hey, thanks! A combination of digitally-erased sticks and liberal quantities of blu-tac paid off! :) Lots of cheating in this film! :p I'd definitely like to try more with motion blur in stop-mo, a lot of possibilities with different techniques. We used a combination of actual movement (using frame blending for fake long exposures) and postproduction rotoscoped and masked blur.
