I will be continuing our Florida narrative shortly, but had one other quick thing to write about. Quincy loves LEGOs. And he loves the Star Wars LEGOs. I’m not sure how many of you know this, but there are a lot of people out there who make stop-action movies using LEGOs of all varieties. In the past, I would scour YouTube for homemade movies to show him. There’s one he liked a lot that is simply a LEGO elevator with Star Wars LEGO guys going in and out saying different things. He loved it. I started to wonder what it would entail to do that with him here at home.
Turns out, it isn’t that hard to do. I have all the equipment already and just needed time and patience. I have the time – patience is being worked on. We have made a few test movies and practiced different techniques so far, but yesterday Quincy bugged me for a while for us to make one. We made a short movie that came out pretty well considering we are newbies at this. I did the stop-action work, sound effects and music, but Quincy did all the voice work and had some conceptual ideas as well.
Here’s where you can find the finished product. Needless to say, we’ve got more things in the works, but it takes a long time to do and I need to come up with some different ideas. If Quincy’s cousins have any ideas – shoot ’em over! Stayed tuned from Quincy’s Hampden Studios!
