For one assignement from Boookie's Shakespeare class, he decided to use LEGO soldiers to storyboard a scene from "Macbeth." Seimi and Eejee served as grip and best boy for this enterprise.

For a sampling, below are two of the storyboard shots, describing the camera, lighting, scene direction, action and lines.

XLS frame, Bird’s eye angle, High-key lighting (On Macbeth) Low-key (On everything else), Soft focus, Macbeth walks forward slowly while the English soldiers cautiously surround him. Camera tracks slowly with Macbeth, Macbeth: “They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly, But bear-like, I must fight the course. What’s he that was not born of woman?"

MS frame, Worm’s eye angle, Low-key back lighting, Soft focus, Macbeth stands looking down at Siward, Camera is stationary, Macbeth: “Thou wast born of woman.”

All this cinematic exposure sparked Seimi and Eejee's interest, so they dove into doing stop-motion photography.

This is the first video Seimi completed, "The Battle of Trenton", which he filmed 3 short days after being introduced to stop-motion.

Both hobbitlings have continued making films. Below is Eejee's favorite film he created, "The Battle of the Caribbean."

Seimi filmed a longer film, called "The Battle of France."
