What's it all about?

For our AS Film studies course we have the task of planning and producing a short film. It can be about absolutely anything but should be about three minutes long. We have chosen to produce a lego animation based on the popular television show 'Total Wipeout'. We will be using the Apple Macs at school and the software iStopMotion to take stills through a camera linked via firewire of the lego sets and models.
