Stop motion in Super 8: Stefano Paganini Lego - 1980

Shot using a Canon Super 8 back in July 1980, I was 12 yo back then and had a lot of Legos!

The Canon Super 8 had remote shutter cable, so I simply shot each frame by clicking it and moving characters.

Recently, I decided to back it up before the film could become unviewable by projecting it on a wall and using a digital camera.
The movie film suffered major decay after 29 years though, but I find it still enjoyable!

Thanks for posting this. I made some short stop animation films like this using claymation and legos around that time using a Super 8 cam. It think there were 18 frames per second. I remember the feeling of accomplishment every time I would watch my characters come to life for the first time...
