Hey Stop Motion Guys,

I have recently, well not so recently, but I have recently placed on the site, something that might be of use to you guys in your films.

This is a full gambit of emotion for the minifigure face.  The top row shows the classic A, E, I, O, U, and not speaking faces, while the subsquent rows allow your figure to display the full emotional expression.  And the figure gets to be the perfect actor, because no one can tell if they are faking it or not.  mini/lol

Just thought I would point these out.  Enjoy.

He certainly has made a wide spread. Just thought I'd post it here.

That is pretty cool. He/She should do others, like "S." It may be good to film with a blank Lego head, and then add these after filming, but I would love to try this out. Too bad it is $10.

How exactly do you use these decals?

You could either put them on separate heads, swapping when necessary, or rotoscope them onto a blank head in post production.

Wow, that's awesome, I didn't know Kaminoan thought about us.
Spudster, they would come on waterslide decal paper. You then apply each to a separate head, and switch heads between shots. I'd say you could also use them digitally if you wanted (but I don't know how Kaminoan would react to this).

Yeah, MCN says that you could use Brasso to get the original face off. What I would do is put two per head.

Blank heads are pretty cheap off Bricklink. I might just get these.

I suppose I am fine with people using them for rotoscoping, please just give me credit for their creation.  Especially the A,E,I,O,U as those took a lot of research to really figure out the best options.

The other thing these would be good for is the comics people.  To give the appearance of speaking in a still form.

Kaminoan

I think I'll buy these.
