Lego Video by Avery

The boys' (Allen, Avery, and Andrew T.) latest pastime has been making Lego slideshows using their digital camera. They set up a scene and make what is basically a flip book in digital form, re-posing the figures for each shot. They're getting pretty good at it! Once they upload the pictures onto the computer, they click through the pictures really quickly to watch their creations come alive.

Well, I didn't think clicking as fast as you can was a very sophisticated finish for all the hard work they put into these things. So, Andrea and I just got Avery and Allen a video editor for their birthdays.

(Allen's is at the end of March, Avery's is coming up this May... we have a joke about how many "combination" gifts we give. But hey, gifts have to go a long way! Daddy has gotten Birthday/Father's Day/Christmas gifts...)

Now they can put their slideshows into video form and add sound effects.

Anyway, without further ado, here is Avery's first video that he produced and edited all by himself. I thought it was pretty neat!
