Since Brickworld Chicago is this week, I figured it was a good time to revisit the animation demos from the very first Brickworld back in 2007. My first LEGO fan event, I spent the majority of the time teaching exhibitors and attendees how to animate minifigures using stop-motion.
A lot of the demos are from folks trying animation for the very first time—you'll see some rough walks and other moves, and also a bicycle that pops up pretty frequently. When introducing stop-motion to beginners, I often use minifigs on bikes and skateboards to get some solid motion going without the added complexity of a walk cycle.
(Some animation of my own also pops in from time to time—I animated the red-haired kid from "Little Guys!" during the lulls where no one was stopping by the table.)
Sadly, I won't be at this years event, but my capable cohort Dave Pickett will be in attendance to oversee all things brickfilmish. Have fun, y'all!

"From the Archives" is a series where David Pagano shows old videos he created back before Paganomation even existed.
