Crown of Syracuse

This film was created in March 2007 for the Brickfilms.com IDEA contest, and was awarded first place. It tells the story of the Greek inventor Archimedes as he struggles to solve a difficult problem for the king. The story is based (loosely) on a legend first recorded by the writer Vitruvius. The entire film was made in ten days. Enjoy!

how many mini figures did it take you to do this?

[SmeagolStudios]

Not a lot...the opening crowd shot is computer generated and the rest of the shots don't have many figures in them.
