What is the Stop Motion Competition?
Japan Brickfest is looking for talented Brickfilm and CG film makers who are interested in entering our Stop Motion Film Competition. Stop motion refers to the process of taking lots of photos and connecting them together to create an animated film. This competition also includes CG films that feature a similar look to a stop motion film. Successful applicants will have their films screened in a theatre during Japan Brickfest where viewers will vote for the best film. Winners will be announced during the event, as well as on the official Japan Brickfest Twitter and Facebook accounts. This competition is free to join and anyone is welcome to enter.Event Details
