Building+your+set

=﻿Building your set=

In a Lego animation, the set props are very important. When you build your set (out of lego) use 4x2 bricks and make the set in the shape of a box. This is important because you need to have good lighting, and the box-shaped set traps the light inside **(you should turn off all lights in your animating room except for one desk lamp)**. Also, make 4 seperate walls, so that you can remove each one to put your webcam inside and take frames (if you don't get it, look at Getting Started).

Also, you should tape your set to whatever desk or table you're animating on (with masking tape) so that it doesn't move when you move the Lego figures and props. Additionally, you should tape your webcam to the table too to prevent it from moving
