Folks on the Facebooks probably already know this, but I’ll take this opportunity to fill you in, dear blog readers: I’ve been working since late last year on a special issue of BrickJournal magazine, devoted to LEGO animation and stop-motion.

With the blessing of editor Joe Meno, I was given the opportunity to not only concoct four articles of my own, but also to put on my “Feature Editor” hat and cull together some neat content from a variety of talents in the LEGO film world…

- David Pickett on “How to Animate”

- “Inside MindGame Studios” with Zach Macias

- A look behind the scenes with Spastik Chuwawa

- A review of Shatterpoint Entertainment’s “Jericho: the Promise Fulfilled”

- “Playing Nice with Garrett Barati”

- and more!

Plus there’s instructions for how to build one of my “Playback“-style characters, designed by yours truly.

The issue just came out on March 30th, and is now on sale at fine bookstores everywhere (or through the link below)! You can also catch a free preview of the issue here! Be sure to check it out!
