If you ever wondered what LEGO’s infrastructure was like, Youtube user HatStacks uploaded 5 videos of the show called Megafactories on National Geographic that featured The LEGO Group and their manufacturing and distribution process. I have yet to finish the first video as I write this but feel like it was worth sharing. Fascinating stuff. Part 1 is embedded above; parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 are available.
Big thanks to bigospedros for the heads up.
According to The Brothers Brick, Patrick Boivin was commissioned to remake the Cars 2 trailer in LEGO. You’ll see some animated facial expressions because how else was he supposed to do that which don’t detract at all from the silky smooth stop motion animation.
Thanks to Anonymous Tipster for the tip.
Update: The video now appears on LEGOClubTV’s Youtube channel.
Some fun facts:
24 frames per second is astounding and makes the 3 month development time seem a little short.
This is a follow-up to the hilarious Original Trilogy video released last year, embedded below. Enjoy!
I just updated our Toy Fair 2009 page with Mike’s videos that he captured showcasing some of the play features on the various sets. Videos include Star Wars (8), Indiana Jones (2), Castle (1), Space Police (4), Bionicle (2), Power Miners (1), and Agents (4). We are working on getting some higher quality videos available through youtube. We’ll keep you updated.
