I just want to know what started you brickfilming. Was it a friend, or something you watched or something else??
Also, how did you learn about stopmotion animation, and did that and a love of lego become brickfilming??
Important questions!!
I started brickfilming when I saw the stopmotion contest on lego.com for star wars lego.

When my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather was dying, he said that his great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandson's destiny was to brickfilm.
I saw some videos on lego.com and I felt a great need to stop motion.
so much, in fact, I bought a $70 kit that came with a useless book, a crappy camera, and a bunch of free software, including an outdated version of virtual dub.

Anyways, I started brickfilming last Summer. Because I saw how to do stop-motion, and I had buckets and buckets and boxes full of LEGO. I though LEGO was a pretty good animating object, and yeah, that's how I got into brickfilming.
mod edit: no thanks

we need more people like you in the world
you wont think that if you met me in real life 
I don´t know. I just started 
That is a very good question...and it'll be answered right after this commercial break Do you like cafinated cheese?...
One day in late '07, I was languishing in a bar when a strange man in sunglasses and a black suit tapped me on the shoulder, handed me a business card, and disappeared out the door. The card read: Brickfilms.com.
Since the brickfilming thing didn't work out they've been after me, and I'm now on the run. The whole "living in Ireland" thing is a ruse. I currently reside in an underground bunker filled with some broken webcams and several storage rooms full of Lego.
After I saw the lego film on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD, my interest in brickfilming was born. I discussed this interest with one of my friends who mentioned Brickfilms.com. I used to frequently check the site, eagerly waiting new videos.
Quite a few years ago (about seven or so), my brothers' and their friend started making Star Wars brickfilms. Then after helping them, I began creating short LEGO films using a video camera. I still have most of them, I think. They were pretty bad (I should post them on youtube and see how many views I can get 
). Ever since I saw some brickfilms that had won movie contests, I've wanted to do what they did. For about a year know I've slowly been animating and doing more serious films than the choppy videos I use to make. I found this site when I was googling for information on how to make brickfilms. I think I've latched on to brickfilming because I am able to create cool stories with cool music. The End
i saw forrist fire 101s vids an wanted to mak e vids just like his!
No......really 
I was obsessed with Lego when I was younger.
So it just kind of transferred over into my teenage years when I was trying to figure out what to do with the boxes of Lego I owned.
The Han Solo Affair started my affair with brickfilming. Even though I had a indescribable appetite for lego, 
I was urged to film.
