			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I first got introduced to animation when I watched Wallace and Gromit. I was facinated of how the clay charathers moved. My first animation attempt was when me and my father took some pictures of a snake made out of clay. We played it back on the computer, and it was moving! About seven years later, in 2010, I made a music video with my Logitech Quickcam E3500. It was very choppy, it was a lot of light flicker and the set and the camera was bumped many times. Then I found some sites and tutorials on the internet. I continued to animate, and it became my hobby. Then I found out about Brickfilms.com and Bricksinmotion.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, I found Hazzat's YouTube channel (Zoot101) and I really liked his animations. Soon after, I started. My first animation was 2 fps, full of light flickers, and choppy animation. You can see it on my ALT channel: [url]http://www.YouTube.com/LegoAndStickfigsCH2[/url]

I started to improve. I got more Legos, started mixing minifigures, I edited out any minor light flickers (I rarely have to because a don't really get light flickers).]]></content>

Added myself to the list. 

ANYWAY...

How I got started was watching Graeme Allen's films on Vimeo. And of course I wanted to make my own film. I made a (failed) Lego Agents movie. But my films weren't really found until I posted the first episode of John And Kristene. To the Vimeo group known as Brickfilms. I received lots of advice by a lot of people but mainly The one and only Living Lego. 1 1/2 years later I finally got the Camera known as the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. I also downloaded the program monkey jam. I consider this the stage of when my films went from crap to average.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I don't know for sure how I got started, but I'll try. I started going on the internet because Lego magazines prompted me to. In 2009, I was making series of pictures that told a story for the gallery on the Lego Indiana Jones website. I found this site somehow and saw that people used stop-motion animation to make Lego films (I had already heard of Lego films, but never saw one until I came here). I thought I would do it, because it's like what I was already doing but with more pictures. I made a batch of choppy tests (now gone) and a choppy little  Indiana Jones short film with my parents' digital camera. I made a choppy short film at a summer animation class with the (teenage) teacher's old Lego (5 fps, Windows Movie Maker). I called it "Bricks", and thought to make a series out of it. Then I made a slightly less choppy short film (6.5 fps, Stop Motion Pro) for school about recycling. That was when I moved to the tabletop. Then I got a webcam and upgraded to 12 fps. I made a few light flicker-filled tests. Then I realized I had to turn the focus and light contols to manual (left gain on auto). I started Bricks: Episode 1 without a script. There was some slight light filcker. I turned the gain off auto and it was fine.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[It all started here

2008: I had moved to a new state and all my new friends loved lego but i didn't at the time. Then one day I went on youtube and searched lego Batman and watched the first video I saw Lego Batman: the villans. I was like how did you make teh legos move and I started buying legos. I made horrible films with my dads digatal camera.

2009: I was having troble with brick films and I was deppressed of my dad having to go to Iraq so I took a break from brickfilming. I decided to buy more legos and spend more time with my friends. In late 2009 I got my self back into brickfilming and found out about stop motion

2010: I spent half the year searching for a webcam and finally got a logitech c250 and started making stop motion. Then I made my first brickfilm the lego rap. My parents were really proud of me. I started making more and more brickfilms

2011: I made my first big brickfilm Butler the savoir but then I went through a slump. I couldn't come up with any films. I was not proud of my camera quality. Then I got a new camera the c910 because I couldn't get the quickcam. Now I finally got two film ideas and armed with an HD camera I'm ready to show the world what I'm made of.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Sometime mid-summer 2010 my friend posted something on google buzz saying "I have a good idea for a stop motion video" of course I ask "wut r thatz???" Eventually he told me when we met up the next week and I was like "ZOMGZ I'Z HEARD OF TAT BEFAR!!!!!!"  so roughly a week later I made a real peice of crap of a hinge brick opening up composed of six frames, one of which I cut out and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to put the frames together on the computer. Then I attempted to send it to the friend who had told me what stop motion was. Then the next day I finally figured out how to save it as something other than a WMM file and rejoiced, making about 5 animations the next day, getting lots of "wowzys buddy, thats cool" from my parents. Then I saw some stuff from Pagnomation and FP and my jaw dropped. I continued for a few weeks, rapidly improving animation. Then I stopped for a month or so, and slowly from about Septemeber to now I learned things other than animation, became a strong, and one of the only, supporters of what I like to call The Digital Age of Filmaking, in the brickfilming community. Yup George Lucas, you made a believer outta me. Then briefly after that I discovered the concepts of "Cinematograhpy" and "CGI". Although I still lack experience in making an actual full film(Which will be mended in a number of short weeks). And here I am sitting right now typing this sentence.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I'm not sure, but I think there's a trend here. Maybe because homeschooled kids are home and bored most of the time (or at least the steriotype), they go on the interwebz, see a brickfilm on YouTube, and say something like "OH MUAY GAWDZ, DEYR LEGOZ ARR MUUUUUVINGGG!!! Nathan Wells was homeschooled; phantom, JK, Caidence, LegoComDude, RedBrick1, AniMax, Mighty Wanderer, and I (among probably a lot others) are as well.
