Bridging the gap between physical and digital, Lego’s new new mobile application enables users to create their own stop animation movies using Lego blocks and mini-figures. The Lego DC Super Heroes Movie maker app includes simple tools and guides for shooting, editing and scoring a movie, making it easy for anyone who plays with Lego blocks and mini-figures to create their own movies. The app joins several others from Lego including Lego Photo and Lego Duplo Jams. The new app was designed to be used with Lego DC Universe Super Heroes mini-figures.
With the app, users can plan, create and shoot a stop action video on a smartphone using a kid-friendly interface. To create videos, users set up their phone and Lego blocks and then snap a shot. After taking one photo, they can then move the blocks slightly and snap another photo, repeating the process until their movie is complete. Users can also add a customizable title card and share their videos online. Lego has included 11 title cards with images from Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and more. Finished movies can be saved to the phone and uploaded to YouTube. The Lego Super Hero Movie Maker is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store.
