There Is No Spoon, But There Are Legos
I know we’re all tired of The Matrix, but I had to post this video for its amazing Lego animation and not really the scene it’s replicating. Apparently it took 440 hours to make, which is impressive, then kind of depressing when you realize it resulted in a YouTube video less than a minute and a half long, including the credits. Ah well. Maybe that includes trying to find all the specific Legos needed to make the video; if so, I’m sure 200 hours were spent trying to find enough clear one-nubbed Legos to make the trail for the bullets.
