Bricks in Motion
We are a friendly filmmaking community devoted to the art of stop-motion animation using LEGO® and similar construction toys. Here, you can share your work, join our community of other brickfilmers, and participate in periodic animation contests!
A place to discuss, share, and create stop motion films.

What type of animation set do you guys use?
Camera or Lego Digital Designer

Camera.
Can you clarify what you mean, LegoLordPro?
If it's about CG brickfilms, I can't say that's a medium that excites me (although I did enjoy The LEGO Movie, with its near-realism and stop-mo feel). I think the thing, for me, is that if I'm doing CG anyway I'd rather create original characters and designs. But I understand it's appealing to some, and there's a convenient library of parts to work with.
All I'm saying is which one do you animate your legos with, a camera or The Application Lego Digital Designer:3
I've seen animations done in LDD, and in theory, it seems like a good idea. But the single fact that the graphic capabilities aren't nearly good enough to have it look good, that completely turns me off to the idea. So I would say that a camera is definitely preferable.
Most of us use a camera and stop motion animation techniques.
Some people do make CGI animation here but I think they use things like Blender which are a little more powerful than LDD for animation.
I posted a link on my comment to see what I am Talking about here so that you guys can say your opinion on what you like to animate with.
I only animate with stop motion. CG could be fun though, but I doubt I'll get into it.
I guess I don't see how LEGO Digital Designer could be a good platform for creating films. It's not really set up to do that kind of thing.
But to each his own!
So I guess you use a camera, Sméagol
Well LDD isn't the only way to make film with CG. In fact I wasn't aware that anyone used it to animate. Like CK mentioned earlier, Blender is actually meant for animation and a common choice among CG animators. I don't think you necessarily have to be aligned with either physical or CG brickfilming.
Personally I animate using actual physical LEGO. I tried and failed miserably with CG stuff, I guess I just don't have the patience for it.
