I'll tell you why.  It's a BIG F%#KING LIE. :)

None, I repeat, none of the clips that come with studios, or on their web • site,
are made with the studios program.  This is why their movies look so much
crisper than ours.  I think we should, as consumers, call LEGO on this • false
advertising.

Perhaps it's a recent addition because of this thread (I wouldn't know, this
is
the first time I've gone to the studios site) but beside each clip as it is
playing
are the following words:

"Made to inspire with a professional camera"

I think that eliminates any claims of false advertising.  On the other hand,
I'd
be pretty DE-motivated and UNinspired if I saw these cool movies and could
not even come close to re-creating them with my set, so I think is most
UNcool
of LEGO.

It is nowhere on the box, manual or anything else that comes with the package.
They are guilty of FALSE ADVERTISING, no question about it.

I've seen some works of art popping up on sites. They look like they took a lot
of work and planning. It's such a shame they all look so small and horrid...
Fuzzy etc...
