Here's a link to the first in an animated series. Follow the protagonist (Ray) as he gets in trouble, does dumb things, but learns from his experiences.

I decided to create a new series to work on keyframe animation skills. But I had to start from scratch with the Lego characters due to hardware issue (don’t ask). So, these are new models and rigs (created with Carrara), which will be tweaked and improved throughout the series. This is a test of the rig and facial morphs. Lip sync was done with the assistance of Mimic for Carrara.

All models were created using Carrara and LeoCad.

I might be over sensitive because of my grand kids, but I felt it was necessary to add the PG-13 slate. 

Let me know what you think.

Nice work. Love the scene cuts and facial animations. Do you still play with Legos? ;-)

 Glad you liked it, Mark. 

My grandson is the one who inspired me to create movies with Lego characters. But lately I see the fun in using Legos in movies containing adult subject matter (this movie is not exactly age appropriate for him). I have a lot of Legos here at my house, so he (and I) has some to play with when he has a 'play date' with me. ;-)
