"great post @Simon Tytherleigh! I learned a lot just from reading what you posted.

Hi everyone, I would like to start a topic on FRAMING for stop motion. I believe it is a very important part of the whole creation of a stopmotion since the composition of shots or scenes can change a lot in our brickfilms. From what I see, a good stop motion is most likely supported by good framing. Although I am not really sure if you guys find it as important. Please share your thoughts and if you have some TIPS and TRICKS about this. I'll start with the basic that I know RULE OF THIRDS…See More

Hello everyone! This is Wifey Blocks Studios. I recently started creating brickfilms shorts. I am now dedicated in growing this passion. I am very much eager to learn a lot from the members of this community and I would also share my learnings as well. I hope you will enjoy whatever works I may share.
My wife is my life. She inspired me everyday and luckily, motivated me to bring out my creativity and passion through lego stop-motion animation. The fun and laughter that my videos will share is because of my love for my wife. Every bit of my work is dedicated for my wife! I love her so much! LEGO WIFE , LEGO LIFE!
