One of the things that I really find meditative is working with Legos. There is something infinitely satisfying about building the tiny model sets. One of the latest additions to this form of stress relief has been combining it with stop-motion animation. The slow, take-a-photo, move-a-minifig, take-a-photo steady work is really soothing. And at the end, I have a neat little stop-motion film.
I recently completed the first episode in a series of small shorts, “Rapunzel – The Outtakes.” The first one “Ooops!” is about a minute long. It was a lot of fun to do and was a great way to destress after a VERY rough week.
I know that there are some lighting issues that I couldn’t see while I was working on it and a couple of times I bumped the set/camera while working and didn’t quite realize it, but overall, I’m pretty proud of my first Lego-attempt. Renee set up the camera and let me go…
Anyway, below is the film clip which I shall now send out far and wide.
