10 AM Animation Finish! October 3, 2009

Posted by tohailey in : Animation, Updates , comments closed

Three teams completed 3 stop motion Lego films! Amazing. The students worked non stop throughout the night  to create a Tale of Alien Abduction, a Space Odesey and a Race where the the Little Guy Wins.  All films were over one minute in length and had sound.  It was an amazing result. The films will be sent to the LEGO creative team for judging. The winners will be announced in the coming weeks. The winning team will receive cool SWAG (we mean…really cool for animation student swag) and the coveted LEGO trophy will be displayed with the student’s names in the DMC building.  (Pics to be posted soon)
