iOS App of the Day: LEGO Movie Maker

Posted on the 09 January 2014 by Boxmash

Welcome to BoxMash’s iOS App of the Day! Every day we will be bringing you new and cool games from the Apple App Store that we think you should play. Best of all, every game we recommend will be free to download. Today we’re looking at the amazing LEGO Movie Maker.

Doesn’t the LEGO Movie look ace? Well you can create your own LEGO movie using this amazing free app and your own collection of LEGO figures! Using your LEGO, build a scene and put some LEGO figures in it. Then using your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, you use the LEGO Movie Maker app to make a ‘stop-motion’ film. Stop-motion is used for films like Coroline and Para Norman. Instead of taking video of your figures, you take lots of photographs of them in different positions and then flick through them really fast. This makes the pictures look like they are moving.

The LEGO Movie Maker app lets you put some cool filters on the camera for a Hollywood-looking picture, and then helps you put title credits over the footage so everyone knows the name of your film and who made it. You can then upload the film to YouTube and show it off you your friends and the world!

So set up your scene, come up with a great story, and start shooting your LEGO movie right now! Just download the app from the App Store and put your director hat on.
