I had exactly 5 minutes with one kid, a box of Legos, and a greenscreen to make something useable. Given the circumstances, I think it came out okay. I even learned a very valuable lesson: if you're shooting Legos on a green screen, don't use the green ones!]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2005 05:00:00 GMT http://orenfilm.com/index.php#NewsArticle6 orenphoto, how much more original can I get?
