LEGO Mindstorms - {Droid Developer Kit Commercial} {Robots Outside Door} (1999)

Original rip: Jamie Robertson Co-Directors: Jamie Robertson and David Sproxton for Aardman Animations UK DOP: Steve Downer Produced by Ammirati Puris Lintas According to G Blawie, going into production they assumed they’d create the disco scene via stop-motion, hence their choice of Aardman Animation as partner to make the ad. But after digging in with the products, building and playing with the computerized droids at Aardman’s studios in Bristol, the team realized they didn’t need to go frame by frame, so they ended up rigging & shooting it all practically.
