Star Wars Lego: Creativity at Its Finest


Over the years of its existence, the Lego toys have improved a lot. One of the greatest improvements of the toy is when they start featuring the movie Star Wars in their themes. Lego is already a popular game then, but since it has incorporated the Star Wars theme into its creations, its popularity went through the roof. They have created miniature versions of the characters, spacecrafts, creatures and many other that are present in the movie. These Lego toys are still shaped like blocks but with the right parts, you can build an intricate X-wing fighter or even a millennium falcon.

If you are an avid fan of the Star Wars movie series, then surely you are familiar with many scenarios and characters it has. You can reenact these scenarios to reminisce this great movie. You can also be more creative and put your own ending and may be change the script to your preferred story line. You need to have all the Lego Star War characters for this. You also need to build the background from other Lego parts to make it look realistic. You can entertain your other Star Wars friends for hours with these.

A good suggestion is to make a stop motion movie clip out of your Lego Star Wars toys. This is laborious work but you and your friends will be able to enjoy it. For this, you will need a digital camera that has high memory because you will be taking many pictures. You also need a tripod for the camera because it has to remain stationary throughout the entire making of the stop motion movie clip. Next, is to prepare what you are going to need like the lighting, the characters and the background.

Now that you have your stage set up, you have to position your camera in such a way that it will not move even if you are continuously changing the position of your characters and vehicles. Now the laborious part, first you take the initial picture of your characters. Then you move them slightly to make it look like that they are in motion, then you take their picture again without moving the position camera. Do this until you have accomplished the scene that you want to reenact.

Collect all the pictures and put them together using a movie editing software. If you were going to watch the compiled pictures, it would like a movie mini clip of the scene you have made with the Lego toys. The last thing that you have to do is put the sound effects and the dialogues of your movie clip and you are all set. Through trial and error, you will learn how to make things smoother. You can also add some creativity add some new things or create “scenes” that were not shown in the movie. Like how do they eat in the Death Star or how do Darth Vader sleep and many other things that can make people laugh. With this, you will be able to build your own Star Wars movie one piece at a time.
