Ari was sent a giant package from Japan including this micro lego set. It’s a little beyond Ari’s abilities (or rather, her patience and willingness to build something so detailed) so after her and Shannon completed the first 4 levels, I took it over and snapped a picture at the end of each level. It was most satisfying and I’d collect all the sets of this amazing toy if I could (I also completed all of the smaller sets of animals she got).
Then Shannon took over and created this flash file, which was probably just as much work, if not more.
Yay for collaborations!
coOol!
I;m retarded. what did you use to animate the pics?
New season of radiolab. are you listening?
If the answer to your question isn’t flash, then I have no idea, he did the animating part, not me!
Nope, haven’t started the new Radiolab season yet, but thanks for the heads up, I’ll get on it right now.
It’s just a bunch of JPGs shoved into a SWF file at a low framerate. I used “Magic Pic2Ani” to do it.
It’s amazing but I have no idea of the scale. How big is it?
And what do the other pieces look like.
The blocks themselves are about half what regular Lego looks like so they’re pretty tiny. That entire castle has almost 3,000 pieces in it! I don’t know the exact height, maybe 15cm?
Small! It’s very small and fiddly and it actually came with special tweezers for picking up tiny pieces!
That thing is wicked!
That is pretty awesome. Although the video makes me a bit dizzy.
It makes it look like it was built in a minute but nothing could be further from the truth. It was slow, an hour here or there for a week.
I’m so jealous of all of it! I want a box of lego sets from Japan.
