Doctor Sinister is well known for his “Grunts” comic series. LAML interviewed him about the series back in Episode 25. Now, after a request from myself, Dr. S. has created a how-to video on how to create LEGO comic strips.
Hopefully you all enjoyed this as much as I did. Thanks Dr. S!
Throughout the tutorial, the program Adobe Photoshop was mentioned. Photoshop is a very powerful and expensive program, but there are free alternatives for anyone who would prefer to spend that money one LEGO. Gimp is a powerful editor that might take a little bit of time to learn while Paint.net is a lightweight alternative that is easy to use but limited. Both programs can edit layers.
Nice set of vids. It would also be great to have some tips from any Lego stop-motion video gurus.
Regarding post-production, another option is to use comic creation software. ComicLife (www.plasq.com) is quite a good one, but there are others as well. You have to pay for the software, but it makes post-production much simpler.
Michael, I’ll ask a few of the gurus and see what I can get together.
