Lego Movie Reworks

Legomatrix Recreates Bullet-Dodging Scene from the Matrix

— November 27, 2009 — Tech
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of 'The Matrix', a very talented group of camera savvy individuals at LegoMatrix created this awesome stop-motion Lego reproduction of one of the Matrix's most famous scenes. The group spent over 400 hours to produce this 44 second bullet-dodge video frame by frame sans Photoshop, and the result is fantastic.

To display how accurate their work is, this LegoMatrix video shows a side-by-side comparison with the original footage.

Implications - I'm most amazed with the LegoMatrix video's ability to emulate one of the agents dodging a slew of bullets from Neo. The multi-layered effect wouldn't be difficult to recreate utilizing the latest film technologies, but the LegoMatrix team was able to pull it off pretty darn close considering they're limited to stop-motion photography.
Trend Themes
1. Stop-motion Lego Videos - Lego enthusiasts can utilize their stop-motion skills to recreate iconic scenes from popular movies and TV shows as evidenced by LegoMatrix's recreation of a bullet-dodging scene from The Matrix.
2. Nostalgic Reboots - The success and positive reception of nostalgic reboots like LegoMatrix's recreation of The Matrix can inspire other content creators to revisit and revitalize beloved media from the past.
3. DIY Special Effects - The use of low-tech, hands-on visual effects techniques like stop-motion animation can inspire filmmakers to explore new and inventive ways to create special effects without the use of expensive and advanced technology.
Industry Implications
1. Film and Television Production - The popularity of LegoMatrix's stop-motion tribute to The Matrix highlights the potential for film and television production companies to revisit popular media from the past in new and inventive ways.
2. Toy and Game Manufacturing - LegoMatrix's video is a testament to the versatility and popularity of Legos, even among adults, and could inspire toy and game manufacturers to partner with popular media franchises to create licensed Lego sets.
3. Social Media and Online Content Creation - The viral success of LegoMatrix's video highlights the potential for social media influencers and online content creators to create engaging and entertaining content by tapping into popular media franchises and using DIY special effects techniques.
