Name: Nathan
Age: 21
I am an amateur animator and filmmaker who specializes in brickfilming - a form of stop-motion animation that utilizes LEGO as an animation medium. I am currently attending San Jose State University, majoring in digital media and minoring in Film/TV/Radio. During my time at San Jose I will have to take a break from brickfilming due to living in a very small dorm room.

One Brick Studios FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions  
WHAT KIND OF CAMERA DO YOU USE?
Up until my film "Driven," I used a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000. From "Driven" onward, I use a Canon Powershot A85.

For image capture, I use Stop Motion Pro 5. For video editing, I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. For audio editing, I use Audacity. For credits creation / effects, I use Adobe After Effects CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3. Information about all these programs can be found using Google.

That is a feature only available to YouTube Partners. You can find out more about the YouTube Partnership Program here: http://www.youtube.com/partners

WHAT FRAMERATE DO YOU USE?
15 frames per second.

WILL YOU MAKE A FILM WITH ME / WILL YOU HELP ME MAKE A FILM?
I can't help everyone individually, but I have made a series of video tutorials outline the basics of animating with LEGO. The series is called Bricks in Motion and can be viewed right here on YouTube!

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR YOUR NEXT FILM, CAN IT SEND IT TO YOU?
I know it can be exciting when you have ideas for films, but I have my own ideas too, and I want to focus on making my own films. If you have a really great idea, you should make it into your own exciting film!

I SENT YOU A MESSAGE, WHY AREN'T YOU RESPONDING TO ME?
I'm not available all the time - I'm busy with life away from YouTube and LEGO, but rest assured that I will respond to your message as soon as I can. If I don't, your message might have been lost in the jumble - just send it again.
