Lego Star Wars Stop Motion: Clones VS Droids

Things are going as normal at this Republic base, when the clones learn of an impending droid attack. With not enough troops to hold the base, they take up battle positions to try and buy as much time as they can for reinforcements to arrive.


This stop motion was made entirely by me. In total it runs about 6,800 frames at 20fps, shot on dragonframe. It's taken me several years to finish this film, because even though I completed the physical filming very quickly (moving all of the legos), I was drawing every single spark, laser, and explosion by hand in paint.net (not a good idea, will not be doing so in the future). Obviously such a task was very overwhelming, so I kept putting it off until it had been a couple years. But, now I had significantly more experience with paint.net than when I started, so I managed to finish almost all of the effects within a couple months.

As soon as the final laser was done, I moved it into Sony Vegas to add sound effects, voices, music, an opening title card, and credits.

I'm very proud of this film. It may not be perfect, but it is living proof to me of what I can do if I just keep working hard instead of putting things off. I do hope to make a sequel sometime in the future, so keep an eye out if you enjoyed this one.
