A Definition
Commonly, stopmotion brickfilms are made using stopmotion animation techniques, but other forms of film production are also used, such as computer-generated imagery, Macromedia Flash, or live action. Brickfilms also usually use the art of MOC (My Own Creation) development, giving each film a different feel depending on individual building styles.
For brickfilms makers, the most common approach is to use a minifigure as an actor against a set or a backdrop made from bricks. While limited in their range of movement and expression, many brickfilms makers still manage to get a wide variety of emotions from their mini LEGO actors. Some films, such as Marc Beurteaux's "Robota" and David Pagano's "Little Guys!" are unique in that the characters featured are not minifigures but are in fact larger models made out of bricks.
