Stop Motion
We were definitely inspired by the LEGO Movie animation style but we tried to create our own little spin on it. In the end the goal was to capture the feeling of high end stop motion. The snappy, exaggerated movements created an extremely fun and hilarious world and was also a refreshing style to work with.
A LEGO World
Early on when we decided on the style of animation we also had to make some rules for the world itself. In the end we settled on the idea that man made elements would be brick built while nature would be more real world in appearance. There were exceptions made to these rules but we tried to stick to it when possible.
