silver

The colour silver worked very well. The shadow was limited to bar minimum and took most of it off straight away. The only colour that was like it was white however this worked well. Until I saw that the Lego character we used was silver/grey. Therefore this blended into the background and found out that the flash made an image in the card.

orange

The orange was really bright but it did blend into the red too much. It also gives a very bad contrast to some of the lighter colour.

Preparation for Lego filming

Preparation for Lego filming
We had to book out the lights for our filming. We did this on Friday the 27th. That meant I would pick the lights up at 12 50.

How would I get the lights home?

I asked if I could use the car off my parents for a day, after passing my driving test this summer. I put the lights into the car and take them home.
What colour green screen are you using and where are you getting it from?
I went to the arts shop in Worcester PHW on the high street and looked for colored card. Know I knew that we used number different colour. We used green so we couldn’t use this. I looked for three different ones I decided to buy an orange, silver and a light blue.

Main character

Because of the problem we had with our main character having to look like a school kid we had to search on the internet for a single character. We tried several different websites like EBay or Lego official website .However we found the best thing was Harry Potter and replace his head with a different one to have no recollection to him.

Surport teacher

I than had a support lesson and I was going on about the brick problem in my blog till my support teacher mentioned the fact she just sorted out all her sons Lego and was willing to bring it in that I could borrow therefore it was a problem solved fast. The deal was that if we borrowed the Lego off her the Lego we brought our selves we would give her after we finished it. This solved the problem by putting Lego on eBay or not having to find a charity. I plan to pick the Lego up next Friday at 11 30.

Hi Zac
I have heard that you are looking to source some original lego for your filming. I have quite an assortment of bricks and models if you are interested. When you have finished with all your lego it would be appreciated if I could have first refusal on purchasing it.

Hi Zac, I'm sorry I haven't been able to find any of the lego bits you need. I have basics and lots of Star Wars figures if any of that helps!

Spoke to my parents to see if we had any Lego however we managed it throw it away when i was younger.

I than had a convocation with my previous media teacher Kate Wolstenholme if I found any. To find out she might be able to help us out she said she would portal me to tell me if she found any. By the message below you can see this didn’t because she only had Star Wars Lego and wouldn’t watch the mise on scene. .

More problems with eBay

We yet again had some problems with EBay paying for items however we browsed for a while and we found this fire-mans play set. It has enough basic bricks that we needed in the first place and the use of colour does have a lot of blue or green in it. It also has basic Lego people we can use and plenty of items we can contract for our animation piece. This cost £15.97; divided by two it works out about £8 each. We still need to look for some more bricks to add to this.



We than thought we would need to buy another set of bricks whoever it was costing about £15 for post and delivery. However we were deciding on this however the main problem we had been they had green or blue bricks.

First purchase of Lego

I spoke to Aaron about this problem and we had agreed to go into town and look for Lego in shops. I went into town to look and went to the entertainer to look for anything that could help us to discover everything was quite expensive, however me and Aaron had looked at the villain which we chose to use we had come up with using a power mining Lego toy .These happened to be in the shop and cost £8 so £4 each therefore we had made our first purchase. The only problem about this was the colour was green which meant we had to use a different colour screen so the preferred to use is blue we are agreeing on.

The different location of filming the lego

this location was on the side of a cabinet and was a good height for the filming. The problems we had with it was we didn't get a lot of room to move and the main problem was the lights became a health and safety risk. The room we got didn't give us a lot of room to move around with either.




I than deiced to move the set to on top off my TV stand this worked well with the height.And gave us a flat wall to put up the blue card.The lights had a good amount of room to move around and no shadow was gained from light coming through the window.

Lego animation

The main problem that showed us down was looking for Lego on the internet. This was really hard because of the vast amount that came up. We did use EBay and Amazon to look for products however we found this to be harder than expected.



The main problem we had with eBay is that looking for just bricks came in 100-about 300 this was a problem because we haven’t got any idea of what we are looking to buy in the first place however we don’t have a clue on the size we need to purchase. Another problem is because eBay is a huge conglomerate thousands of people bid against you. We found this out on different times for example these happened below. The price had increased quite a lot than we expected from other people bidding.
