Yeah, I saw that, it was pretty amazing. I assume it was all done on a

by "hand", or if they just drew a volume and had the software use a • best-fit
emthod to fill it with bricks.

I'm guessing it was a mix of the manually-placed and auto-fill methods.
They probably started by telling the computer to generate the parts and
movements, then modified the script for better visuals/impact.

Did your friend and AT&T obtain the copyrights from Lego to build the brick
structures for the commercial?
