			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Frogtrap]Guys, it is better to use a blue cardboard sky then making a sky out of bricks on most situations.[/quote]

Actually, in all situations. Not only is cardboard sky cheaper, but it's easier to maneuver, and it doesn't take up all your blue bricks. Besides, LEGO sky would be reflective, and you might be able to see cracks in it with a digital camera.

[quote=Filip]"The Letter" had cardboard as walls in the first scenes, and it looked fine. "Twelve Bucks" had cardboard too.[/quote]

I don't believe that. Why would a guy with so much LEGO use cardboard for his sets? Anyway, I remember the shots in that film were somewhat blurry, and that might have hidden the cracks in the LEGO and made it look like one big piece.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=magicoflego]I was just making a stop motion, and i was wondering "Am I doing this right?" Firstly, i've seen alot of people filming with their digital cameras connected directly to their computer and animating system, and i've seen others just shooting their frames first and importing it later. Is there a right and wrong way to get the pictures to your computer, or can you do it either way? (Personally, i just shoot the frames first currently.[/quote]

If you can use frame-capture software I would recommend it, but some brickfilmers (like myself) film without it.

Are you implying that cardboard is unreasonable to use when it comes to stop motion aniamtion? :P

			<description><![CDATA[Also Thwacked Zarathustra used cardboard sets. I personally think it's better to concentrate on building your animation skills and figuring out how to tell an entertaining story than it is to make sure every frame is wall-to-wall lego. It's cheaper too.

To answer the first question, people generally connect their cameras to their computers so they can preview the image they're about to capture on screen and overlay previous frames to check that there's no set wobble or fingers in the shot. Your animation will generally be a lot smoother this way.]]></description>

Using cardboard allows for more possibilities. Carboard is cheap, but manipulated right, you can get great results.

Secondly i was thinking, I dont have much lego, so should i make some of the set with cardboard, or just buy more lego? 

Please reply and answer me! Thanks in advance!]]></description>
