Lego stop motion is a technique has been around for years and is a favored medium for PHS’s very own Soren LePage, 15 years old from Woodbury MN.

The popularity of this medium reached an all time high after The Lego Movie grossed $468,000,000 making it the 13th highest grossing animation of all time. They used a mix of computer generated and stop motion Lego animation.

 In Lego stop motion a scene is set up then the Lego figures are moved in incredibly small increments taking a picture each time. About 4 years ago as LePage was watching Forrestfire101, a well known Lego animator, and decided to try his hand at animation. He set up his Legos and prepared to take thousands of photos. When asked why he enjoyed it he responded, “Because I play God.”
