For a class project for Staffordshire University’s Visual Effects and Concept Design degree program, students assembled a series of animated shorts that reimagined Hollywood blockbusters as LEGO worlds (à la the LEGO Star Wars series). These projects were assembled over a period of 12 weeks, and each represents approximately 1,000 hours of work. Behold the LEGO 300 franchise that would be completely unmarketable to children.
