Have you ever wondered where Lego sets come from?
A few of my students did this little movie
some time ago for a computer animation project.

It's in DivX format and requires a recent DivX
codec, and the download is rather large, around
45 MB. But I think it's worth the wait.
I take no credit for the movie, I only taught the
course, supervised the students and provided some
inpiration by being a Lego enthusiast myself.

That's a nice little film. Cool use of cel shading and some nice movement on the
firetruck.
Also, kudos to the Michael Jackson dance-a-like at the end.

That's the active Lego builder of the group, Fredrik Rinman. :)
Just as a side note, I was inspired by the movie to give
that batch of students Lego-themed exams in their course
on computer graphics. I realized I could actually ask
anything I needed on modeling, animation and rendering,
even detailed mathematical and programming related questions,
using Lego as the only case study.
The exams are in Swedish, but they are illustrated and full
of English terms, and can be found at:

(the three files named "Tenta_2004-something" are the Lego ones)
