Description

Create your very own LEGO® animations with confidence, using this instructional book as a guide. This book, helpful for all ages, explains the basics of LEGO® filming and gives recommendations and techniques from two professional LEGO® animation producers, David Pagano and David Picket. Inside are tips on how to move the pieces, how many pictures to take for each movement, constructing a minifigure-sized set, and so much more! There are additional step-by-step illustrated instructions in the book on how to construct your own LEGO® puppet for large-scale animations. This book really is a great guide to get creators started in producing animations. I still have fond memories of making LEGO® movies with my little brother when I was younger. I really wish I would have had a resource like this to help with the process. The advice given is professional and easy to understand, including plenty of pictures throughout. 205 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
