CLIPMANIA | Brick Films
Duration: 5:01
There are grown-up people out there who haven't lost their love for lego-bricks. They shoot little clips in a world where everything is made of bricks. They might reenact their favourite movie scenes or historic soccer games. It's always a lot of work, a horrible ordeal but the results are fantastic. That's why it's become a trend on the internet. Pinus Hauser, Jonathan, Denecke and Milan Bolland are just a few of those who are still in touch with their inner child. They spend hours playing contentedly with lego figures in the confines of their broom cupboard film sets. The stop motion technique which involves moving the figures slightly for every frame helps them to come alive. A webcam takes fifteen pictures for every second of film. Despite humble beginnings, brick films have gained an increasly high profile. Cult moviemaker Michel Gondry tried his hand at the technique when he made a video forThe White Stripes.
