Trivia

• Emboldend by our recent brickfilm for the LEGO group - Ship in a Bottle - we thought it might be a nice touch for one of our protagonists to swap the page while reading a book.
• Thanks to the (at the time) relatively new movable child legs we were able to have a child as protagonist.
• For future reference we decided to time a few of the steps that are needed to make a THAC brickfilm. For example we spent about 8 hours just for the animation. Looking back a few years later, we should have made a more exhaustive list.
• We were able to reuse over a third of the camera angles for different shots
• In order to make sure we always thought of the mod element (a red and a yellow brick touching each other) we put up a small piece of paper to remind us. Maybe you can find it in one of the making of pictures...
