<snip> (...) Thomas -- I loved your home movies (paticularly the UFO one, it really made me laugh) -- let's hope that other AFOLs will be inspired to make Lego stop motion films. Thanks for sharing your work. F (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

Great movies! I´ve only downloaded one when I´m writing this, but I´ll watch the others as well. One of my dreams too has to be able to make stop-motion films of lego-models. Especially with my classic space minifigs, my moon landscape and my (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

Thomas, your movies are spectacular! I was laughing so hard at the UFO one that several of my cow-orkers came over to see what was the matter. Since they're all LEGO fans, too, they enjoyed the movies as well. I also am impressed by your Crossbots! (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Assuming a minifig is about 6 feet tall, and that your average stud is 8mm across, about 7mm=1 foot.... So it makes 54,000 studs/hour about 11.7 miles per hour in minifig scale... I think that represents a running speed for most people? Not (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
