Brickfilm

A brickfilm is a short animation created by photographing LEGO or similar building block models frame-by-frame. Artists manipulate the models slightly between shots, then compile the images to produce the illusion of movement. This technique allows for detailed storytelling, character animation, and creative scenes using simple materials. Brickfilms can range from casual projects to professional productions, often shared online for entertainment or artistic expression. The process involves planning, set construction, precise camera work, and patience, making it a unique form of stop-motion animation that harnesses the versatility of LEGO bricks.
