Along the way, you'll learn how to: create special effects like explosions and flying minifigures, convey action and emotion with your minifigure actors, design sets for animation to make three buildings look like an entire city, light, frame, and capture consistent photos, add detail and scope to your films by building in different scales, build camera dollies and rigs out of LEGO bricks, and choose cameras, software, and other essential animation tools.
