@jak12329, I was hoping to find a suitable app for this project that would allow me to capture and edit the entire project on. Unfortunately, all of the existing stop-motion apps were too limiting on resolution and framerate. I just used Almost DSLR to lock in my exposure, focus and WB and took individual high-res stills. I then threw them into Final Cut Pro and edited it normally.

That was awesome! I loved the guy being carried away on the stretcher at the end.Great job Carleton!

Thanks Brian. My daughter likes that part too. She thinks the lego guy is supposed to be me, since I provide the voice for him.

I liked the physics simulation the most, like when the car would push through lego letters and they would 'fly off' as a result, or when crashing through piles of lego when texting. Sweet stuff!

Thanks! Those kinds of effects are some of my favorites to animate as well. :)

Yours was one of the first I saw. It was a nice, well told story. What DSLR are you using?
