BrickFlicks 

Space Force Stop Motion Package

Due to increasing demand, this year we are introducing our BrickFlicks online! It is based on our 20+ years of experience teaching as well as our lifelong passion with the art-form. With this course you will learn all the basic elements that go into making a short movie by following us as we make ours.

We refer to the animation style that we use as Brickflicks, it is essentially storytelling using a combination of stop motion animation, LEGO and a variety of mixed materials. We aim to use material that you would find around the home or is ease to attain.

 

The stop motion kit is delivered to your school and includes a LEGO Creator Set, LEGO blocks, base plates, materials, accessories, online tutorials, downloadable resources as well as a suite of practical activities and online support throughout.
