I made a stop-motion Lego video once. It was in 1994, recorded with a huge VHS camcorder, with a BBC Micro connected to it to control the start-stop record action for each frame. I’d like to think that puts me so far ahead of the curve that I have, in fact, redefined the nature of what a curve is. In reality the one I did was indescribably shit, and this one here by Custard Productions is really good. Enjoy.
This now makes me want to dig out my Lego and make a new one with the array of slightly more sophisticated technology I have available. Thankfully for us all, my Lego is several miles away.
Normally, I hate it when people take stuff from one thing, and mash some audio over it from something else, and then put it on YouTube and say “HAY LOOK WHAT I MADE!”. However, I was watching an episode of Deep Space Nine the other day, because I’m a nerd, and because it’s brilliant, and because I’ve never really rewatched it. Aside from the fact that the last two seasons really kicked it up a notch, Foundation Imaging were at the top of their game after being ditched by Babylon 5, and produced some great effects sequences. Combined with Angry Sisko, it was pretty compelling stuff.
I was tootling around YouTube, and came across a video that fits my Rage Criteria above. Except, this one actually sort of works. Particularly the bit at 2m54s, which should be where the above video starts. The look on Sisko’s face says it all.
I really ought to get the BSG soundtracks.
This is the interesting stuff, you should see what I leave out.
