Where it started

A brickfilm is a film or Internet video made either by shooting stop motion animation using construction set bricks like Lego bricks and minifigures or using computer-generated imagery or traditional animation to imitate the look. They can sometimes also be live action films featuring plastic construction toys (or representations of them). Since the 2000s The Lego Group has released various films and TV series and brickfilms have also become popular on social media websites. The term “brick film” was coined by Jason Rowoldt, founder of the website brickfilms.com.
