Kirkus Reviews
Ever since the release of The LEGO Movie, I ve wondered how I could create my own stop-motion videos with my ever-growing LEGO collection. Thanks to the genius minds of David Pagano and David Pickett, I had the opportunity to learn with The LEGO Animation Book.

This is an excellent book that covers everything from cameras and software to animating minifigures, building sets and post-production.

As a LEGO fan I can say that this book is one of the coolest things I have read on the craft of playing with LEGO it is highly recommended!
The School Librarian
The whole way through there is excellent imagery to support the text and methodology behind how to create and produce your very own brickfilm. It is great if you are starting from scratch for the very first time, although that s not to say that a seasoned pro wouldn t learn a thing or two from these guys.
Brick Fanatics
Creating a Brickfilm can seem like a tricky affair, but the book's authors make it really easy to get started. We look forward to seeing what s next from No Starch Press, not to mention all these great new Brickfilms born out of this great book.

Midwest Book Review
"The book is about 8 x 8 inches the perfect size for a handy manual. The soft cover and the pages are all very high quality, with bold and brilliant color images, and nice big text. Flipping through the book the first time, you know it is going to be good."
