    • David Pagano, Nate Burr and myself were all recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm to celebrate the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday.  This is my contribution, 30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure.  How many historical figures/events can you name?

      Fantastic effort, my favourite of the 3. How long did it take you to make? Did TLC help out with bricks.

      The minifig pyramid at the end is awesome, how many figs?

      Great work! The scenes alone must have been a tremendous effort! Love the music too.

      Fred: I composed the music; I’m so glad that somebody got the Philip Glass reference. :)
      I do think you’re the first person to recognize it.

      This is one of the best BrickFilms I have seen in a very long time. Well done Nathan!

      That was one of the best brickfilms I’ve ever seen. My favorite historical scenes were Martin Luther nailing the theses to the church door and the Lego Jitterbug.

      Marvelous sweep of history (and use of sets and MOCs).

      Was it just me, or were those Mercedes logos rather than peace signs?

      Love it! Only flaws to pick at are the incorrect peace signs. xD
