Tales of @youtube - My first ever upload, March 2006. 'Lego Man Has Street Gang Problems' shot on my mum's MiniDV camera in the dead of night (hence whispering) allegedly a VERY early example of 'brickfilm' on the platform. I filmed a couple stop-motion lego things but only a couple made it to YT #stopmotion #legofilm #diyfilm #ogyoutube

We have the incredible @dr.kiyasu coming to play in Newport at our headquarters on Sunday 9 August - with @wulfgas opening the show with heinous noise and chaos! come join us as we shoot our second Shonk session.
