PSALM 1

2010
Inspired by both The Brick Testament and Wallace and Gromit, I made a movie. Okay, it is really not much of a movie, just a couple seconds of animation. But it is fun to watch.
PSALM stands for Progressive Stop Action Lego Movie. The official term is stop-motion animation, not stop-action movie, but I took some liberties to make a nice acronym. And if you use Lego people (AKA minifigs) for the characters in the movie, you’re supposed to call it a brickfilm or something like that. Oh well, I’ll stick with PSALM.
Now only 149 more to go.
Notes:
- this movie has nothing to do with Psalm 1.
- usually the verse-of-the-post is somewhat related to the content of that blog post. With this movie, however, I am just going to pick a verse out of that chapter.
- if the movie appears as a white rectangle, scroll the web page up or down.
- if the movie player isn’t working at all, you can save the .mpg file to your computer and open it with your computer’s movie player software
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
Psalm 1:2

How long did that take you? And is the mini-fig going to jump off the edge or not? Is he headed to work or coming home from work? These are things we need to know.

Taking the pictures took about 15 minutes. Making the animation took somewhere between 1 and 2 hours. I’m not sure because it was spread over a few days, mostly during commercial breaks of football games.
The mini-fig is not going to jump, nor is he even thinking of work. This is the Introductory Mini-fig, since this is the first PSALM, and he is walking to the edge of the stage and taking a bow.

[…] may have seen last week’s introduction to PSALMs. Now it is time for the second movie. Once again, there is no theme or correlation with anything […]

Some guy,
Some sister recommended I search some blog site for some “Stop-motion” clips. My son made two PSALMS last week and is looking for inspiration. Thank you for posting them!
