That is so freking cool! I don't do video but I am going to see if I can find these special lego parts just so I can build this thing and put it on my T2i for the next time I go out and around my hot shot pro friends. :)

Man do I love some legos and putting them to a killer use like this is just pure genius well deserving of some major lego award.

I'm equally as impressed with his 3D animation shown in the first vid.  Because it looks to me like he did a 3D model of each piece, then brought them into AE and animated it.  That's a cool vid, and something I'm interested in.

My kid is a lego head. I'll have to put him to work creating one of these for me. I'd love to know how many hundereds if not thousands I've spent on those little plastic blocks.........some of the best money spent!

The animation is done with a Lego CAD program that is available on line.

Dang, this looks pretty sweet.

I think I'm going to use pickabrick or a similar site and see how much this thing would cost.
