Who really invented brick films? How long ago?
The oldest known brickfilm was created in 1985, and is called “The Magic Portal.” The LEGO Company has been using stop motion in commercials and videos since before this though. So there isn’t really any one founder of the idea of animating bricks using stop motion. I lived under the illusion that I was the only person to ever think of such an idea for a number of years, until the LEGO Studios set came out and the idea caught on. Jason Rowaldt started Brickfilms.com in December of 2000, which which quickly became a gathering place for brickfilmers on the internet.
