The Museum of Science & Industry Chicago recently opened their newest exhibit, Brick by Brick - a fully interactive Lego installation featuring enormous structures created by Lego certified professional Adam Reed Tucker. 6 videos were created to play throughout the exhibit focusing on different themes ranging from famous architectural failures to a glimpse into the mind of a Lego certified professional. This multi-screen video served as an introduction to the exhibit to give an overview of the wonders of building. Danny served as a producer and stop motion animator (video below).

This video is one in a series showing at the LEGO Brick by Brick exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. This specific video relied on the use of archival footage paired with stop motion animation to show various instances where design failed, but because of that, the structures were rebuilt stronger than ever. Very fun project. LEGOs are a mainstay in hobby stop motion, and getting to use them for a professional project was fantastic. Note: There is no sound as these videos play in each section of the exhibit, in the same space.
