Lego Stop Motion Pictures, 'The Zombie', by .My Boy

The First Stop Motion Pictures

My boy is crazy about Lego stuff such as building bricks, watching animation like Ninjago, Chima, Lego City and so on, playing with them, creating something new with his imagination, anything he can do with. Lego is his most favorite stuff nowadays.
One day he was searching and watching Lego Ninjago series on Youtube with my cell phone and ran to me and showed the Lego stop motion pictures. I thought it was good for him to watch and subscribed it. Since he watched a few of them, he became a big fan of it and watched them over and over again, especially weekends because it is rule to play with my cell phone only weekends. A few weeks later he wondered how to make it and wanted make a stop motion pictures by himself it it is possible. I thought it would never be happened until he grew up like 10 or 11 years old. However, I didn't want to let him down, so I taught him the basic of it because I made a few similar stuff when I was young as well. It were 'a rocket launch' and 'Road runner' to show a little characters were moving on the side of book as far as I remember. I drew a character on the side of book on each pages in a little different spot from previous page and then flipping pages faster and it looked like animation. I waved my bare hand and took a few pictures during it was changed its shape and explained him it looked like an animation or movie if each pictures were showed faster enough. That was it. After that, everything went back to normal as before.

Taught him the basic of stop motion pictures with waving hand.

About a month later on Sunday, he was playing with Lego as ordinary weekend and ran to me with big smiling face and shouted I made it. I checked my cell phone and he took a bunch of Lego pictures. It also had a story on it, 'The Zombie', a zombie cook was attacked by a good man and the angry zombie attacked a little boy to make him another zombie. Amazing!! I was so surprised that he took pictures like that and created a story. Mine didn't have such a story but a character moved from the side to side, that was it.

I animated as my boy wanted and told me one more thing while we were watching it together. At the end the boy's face changed to different color and this was the proof of becoming zombie. I was shocked that he had thought about such a detail.

 Never found before he told me.

I hope he keeps his interest in anything he wants and having such a strong driving force.

Sonny, I will be always with you!!
