legos and ships

When I was in painting class (or what u english talking call it) did I came up with this idea. U can take pics of legos and move them an bit and take another pic and make small movies for missions.

it came to me that it might have been:

A possible problem:

Once you have taken the pictures and shrunk them down to roughly EV-usable size, think: will you actually be able to make out that they are lego ships? Most of the bricks will only about one pixel in size, so they might just look like slightly badly rendered regular ships. Something to think about...

Mmm.... spoiling people's fun....

Actually, it would probably work better if one person did them all. That way they would all have the same feel. If one person did it with a 3D program, another person did it with another 3D program, and a third person did it by taking pictures, they would look different, eh?

Just an idea.

Agreed. It would probably look better, too, and you wouldn't have to worry about texturing most of the surfaces because legos are naturally smooth and shiny.
