Entry to Ultron32 The Lego Movie Avatar ContestTo mark the 30th Anniversary of the minifig, Gizmodo is celebrating a video contest with Lego. The objective: to create a movie in honor of the minifig. The short could be made using any technique you want as long as it's creative and fun (check the full rules after the jump).
First, the most amazing vintage sets ever: the Galaxy Explorer and the Yellow Castle-needless to say, the value of these sets, which are new in their original boxes, goes off the charts. The third prize will be a special set designed by Lego owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, plus there will also be smaller vintage space and town sets, a whole bunch of the new vintage minifigure series, and some newer sets for the runner-ups. Yes, a whole brickload of incredible stuff. And if those prizes weren't enough to run to get your camera out, we have asked the best Lego movie directors-Nathan Wells, David Pagano, and Nate Burr-to create three exclusive movies to inspire you. Even if you are not participating, you really have to watch these.30 Years of Music, by Nathan WellsGo Miniman Go, by David PaganoLiving in Meatspace, by Nate BurrNate, David, and Nathan will be the three judges in this contest along with Lego's director of Marketing Communications Keith Malone, and myself. Here are the rules for the contest: Theme The videos don't have to be about the 30th anniversary itself, like the two great odes to the minifig that David and Nathan have created.
They just have to use the Lego minifig. Nate's, for example, is a good example of an alternative theme: just one funny skit, like the famous Death Star canteen short that uses Eddie Izzard's monologue. One good line of work could be a 30-second fun short on any moment of technology history. Like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak making the original Apple in the garage, the first astronauts arriving to the moon, Bill Gates retiring, a scene from a tech movie like Tron or War Games, or some famous advertising. But don't be constrained by that. The bottom line is that, as long as it is original, creative, and revolves around the Lego minifig, you are in. Remember that your videos don't have to use stop-motion techniques-although obviously these give the best results to tell a story-and we all are partial to stop-motion because it's just cool. However, keep your mind open and explore other possibilities.A 20- to 30-second short-the duration of a typical TV ad-will be the minimum to enter the contest.
No need to go High Definition. A 520-pixel-wide video in crystal-clear MPEG-4 format will be enough.• First and second place: Galaxy Explorer or the Yellow Castle. Whoever wins first place picks the set he or she wants. The remaining set will go to the second place winner. • Third price: A special set designed by Lego owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen.• Runners-up: a ton of smaller vintage space and town sets, new vintage minifigure series, and newer sets.

A harpooner (who doesn’t hurt the whale) and giant killer Legos are the stars of this year’s winners of the 3-Minute Masterpiece digital film contest, presented by The Seattle Times and Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF).The event begins at 10 a.m., doors open at 9:30.
• “A Lad With A Harpoon Gets Into Mischief In The Frozen North” in the grand-prize winning “Le Harponneur,” created by Cameron White, of Redmond. White won a SIFF festival pass. • Carlos Key, of Seattle, won the J. Michael Rima Youth Prize for “Attack of the Killer Legos,” which, Carlos wrote, is “ A grind-house style parody trailer featuring stop motion animation and lots of screaming.” It was inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof.” Carlos won a six-pack of SIFF tickets. These films were selected to be shown at the May screening: • “The Magic of a Second,” by Deborah Achak, of Seattle; • “Full of Color,” by Ryan Cass, of Kenmore; • “Super,” by Suzanne McAuley, of Sammamish; • “The Boy in Black,” by Preston Scott, of Bellevue; • “The Grand Illusion,” by Andrew Tribolini, of Seattle The winners’ films impressed our judges, but what did a reviewer make of them? We asked Seattle Times movie reviewer Soren Andersen to screen both our winners’ films, and here’s his professional opinion, starting with the grand-prize winner:
A solitary figure in black stands atop a glacier, gazing at the floe-clogged waters of the fjord below. Harpoon in hand, he leaps over the edge and slides, like a skateboarder without a board, like a skier without skis, down the icy slope to the frigid waters and hurls himself onto the back of a passing whale. He gets to his feet. He plunges his weapon into the animal’s blowhole. So, some kind of environmental thing going on here? Message: Save the whales from a fate such as this? Whispering “sorry,” he yanks upward. The weapon dislodges with a moist “pop,” and on the tip is a … cork? And at that instant, the minimovie “Le Harponneur” slides into “Twilight Zone” territory. Because, lo, here comes a mystery ship captained by … a crab? A crab that speaks in a voice seemingly borrowed from SpongeBob’s boss, Mr. Krabs. The crabby captain asks the young fellow, “And where might you be off to?” “France,” is the reply. Mr. Harpooner gazes into the lens, and in a raspy whisper declares, “Where do you think corks came from?”
(Oh, and the whale is unharmed.) Yo, ho, ho, matey. The movie’s maker, Cameron White, has one peculiar sense of humor. And pro-quality filmmaking chops, as he demonstrates significant expertise using digital techniques to create an icy, realistic dark world where weirdness abounds. No wonder the picture snagged the grand prize in the Times’ 3 Minute Masterpiece contest. And there are even more ho-hos in “Attack of the Killer Legos,” winner of the contest’s youth division. The title says it all. Using digitized stop-motion animation, young director Carlos Key sends a giant Legobot on a rampage in what looks like the filmmaker’s kitchen, towering over a cowering victim as the off-screen announcer declares in doom-tinged tones while Bernard Herrmann-like strings shriek in the background, “When these Legos are done with you, you won’t be getting put back together.” And at the end, as the creature runs wild at school and a teacher screams in terror, there’s this: “This time, the Legos are what’s playing with you!”
