Guys, we shouldnt look up to warner brothers, but see them as competition, we'll make a good solid movie that looks realistic, and send it to them. Then they will see that lego looks alot better when its make of Plastic and not computer rendering. 
We are good, they are new to this.
Since I'm not the best animator..... I'll voice act!!!! Depends on the role though.... 
*Joins queue of people wanting to hurt Leo*
Reading this thread provokes all kinds of thoughts and ideas. First, at the risk of being assaulted like poor Leo, 
I feel the "CGI/traditional" argument is great on a philosophical level, but don't let it mess up your day. Everyone here is shooting digital, right? Anyone using actual film?
>crickets chirp<
No?
Well, the majors may have similar reasons for using CGI over stop-motion Some of you have already covered that in previous posts. I say, "Shun the corporate mentality and embrace Smeagol's vision!!"
If nothing else, this could be an opportunity for BiM to shamelessly capitalize on the media attention that this movie should create.
Kudos for this insightful thought. Keep making shorts. Make them with solid story lines because good stories are key. Keep this website filled with stellar material and perhaps some will get noticed by those industry people looking for the Next Big Thing.
*climbs down from soapbox*
Thank you

It would be horrible...the amount of "wat camra do u use" and "how u do that" would be crippling.
If you're talking about me, I'm not a noob. My films just aren't at your level yet. but i'll help anyway I can.

Uhh... no, we've been making short films for a few years, they've been doing large-scale CG animation as a career for decades.

What an eccentric performance
It seems promising, knowing that Lego is back into stop-mo from the SPIII shorts. Do you think Tony Mines (the dude who made a lot of Lego shorts) will be in it?
Probably not

Honestly, that doesn't mean anything. I'd rather have a decade of film experience in CGI than a couple of years of making lego muuvies.

Leo, be positive about this, Stop motion looks more realistic than CGI because its Real Legos. Not Computer Rendering.

Umm.... we're getting kind of off-topic here. I'm not debating with you about which one is better - they both have strengths and weaknesses. I was commenting that the creators of this film will most likely have ten times the general film-making experience that most of us do.
So it's not like we're ahead of the game or anything.

A full length CGI Lego movie not made by the great pixar is gonna be an epic fail.

I was going to bring that up, I know anything WB is going to make is going to be great. It's just the CG part.... when I think of a LEGO movie, I automatically think stop-motion animation, and I'm sure everyone else who is not a brickfilmer would too. I feel like boycotting it for that reason. But yeah....

Dudes... you would boycott a LEGO movie because it wasn't made with a technique you like?
Can some people here please start admiring the art of film, regardless of how it was made?
