I never knew what a bump is.
A bump is posting in an old thread and 'bumping' it back up to the top. It's normally frowned upon, but OK if you have something worthwhile to say (which you did).
I've always been into it, even before I was born. 
"Wait! I can hear him taking pictures of lego a small incriment at a time and ringing them together to make the illusion of movement!"--Droid's mom.
Actually that's quite good quality, especially considering it was made in 2006.
I just was watching new lego star wars sets sneak picks and I saw some vids and continued watching until I found a tutorial and then started animating, it was about a year ago
I was around 8 years old. My dad was browsing through the internet and he saw a Brickfilm. He called me over to the computer, showed me. I was amazed. A year later I signed up to the Brickfilms community. I began using a digital camera to brickfilm. Then everybody was moving over to Bricks in Motion so I moved over and I got myself a Logitech 9000 and began filming. 
well, Indiana Jones is shaking like his adrenilin is wack.
A friend of mine told me about brickfilms.com. One look and I was hooked.
I somehow found ZachMG's videos on Youtube...and I was hooked! Took me a while, but I finally made my THAC entry as my first full animation and I will hopefully continue soon... 
I started brickfilming in 2004 with my iMac G3. I used iMovie and my Canon A60.

I think it was the LEGO Studios line that did it for me. After I found out about that, I made a couple LEGGO MUUVIES with a video camera (this was back in 2001-2002), then I think I might have taken a break between 2003 and late 2004, the latter being the year I actually got the LEGO Camera and the whole shebang. I think it was about October 2005 when I actually started making "quality" films. Now, I make a film every now and then, and I hope to go to college and get a degree in animation.
You know, I feel really old now...
2004-2005, Became obsessive with animating and made claymation videos. Inspiration came entirely form Knox. I watched some of bluntys films, and saw a link to a website. I think I joined Brickfilms.com around easrly 2006, produced a bunch of crap until mid 2009. Then I gave up on it.
I was bored, and thought to myself, hmmm I wonder if you can use legos for stop motion. next day: whoa! youtube has a ton of these things!
We got LEGO Studios, we saw the Great Disturbance, and we were INSPIRED!!!
Just Kidden was part of a homeschooling "club" that his mom started for kids to come to houses of the members and play and talk about LEGOs. He introduced it to the group a little later after phantom (my kid brother) and I joined. I tried it on his crappy Honestech program and I got hooked! He later introduced me to Brickfilms.com, and I surfed through the film directory, but I never bothered to look at the forums. When I finally convinced my parents to let me join the site right when it closed for an update. I check the site every day to see if it was finished. Then when the site opened again, I sent in my aplication to join the site, but I didn't know that the admin was "dead". So JK showed me this site, not only was it functioning, but I thought that this site looked so much better than BF.com. I convinced my dad to let me join, and here I am today, unbanned and posting.
I used to make videos of my LEGO minifigs by pausing my dad's mobile phone camera quickly.
I got into stop-motion by seeing films by Knox.
He fails epicly now, though.
