I spent a lot of time researching books on the topic of Stop Motion Animation before I purchased this book because I wanted a stop motion book that specifically covered Lego stop motion animation. Well, if brick films are the type of films you want to create then look no further! Not only did this book cover Lego minifigs but also Stikfa characters, which are basically small, super-poseable figures with interchangeable parts. This book does an excellent job of covering all the topics related to pre and post movie production such as; creating story ideas, scriptwriting, story boarding, set design, filming, editing, video presentation and uploading. It doesn't overload you with too much theory or detail but give just enough to get you in the right direction and help you perfect your skills. It also covered in nice detail different types of cameras, lighting configurations, and composition "camera angles, focus, frame size, etc". Nate then
covers in great detail Animation and Flight. In my films, I was always thinking about green screen and editing but Nate did an excellent job of detailing how you can use multiple Layers of images and edit out or erase part of the image that you want removed so it won't be seen in the final shot! For me, this was almost the price of the book. He adds numerous photos, albeit black and white, in the chapter called "The Art of War", which covers different Lego movement sequences frame-by-frame for fighting, running, walking, and flying. Plus in this same chapter he details step-by-step procedures for adding video and sound effects to your movie such as; explosions, flashes, gun fire and laser blasts.
