Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2014

July 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

TwoMorrows Publishing and BrickJournal will be back again this year for San Diego Comic Con 2014 with a panel taking a look behind the scenes of Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary. The panel will include Joe Meno (BrickJournal) as the moderator along with Oscar-nominated director Kief Davidson, producer Brendan Kiernan, as well as our good friend Tommy Williamson (BrickNerd). The panel will be held on Saturday, July 26th from 5-6pm in Room 23ABC. I’ll be there to take pictures and notes so for those who aren’t able to attend, you’ll at least be able to see what went on at the panel.

TwoMorrows Publishing and BrickJournal magazine present a behind the scenes look at a new LEGO documentary released at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Moderated by Joe Meno (editor of LEGO fan magazine BrickJournal), this panel will include one of the film’s directors, Oscar-nominated Kief Davidson, producer Brendan Kiernan, and stop-motion filmmaker Tommy Williamson (www.Bricknerd.com).

San Diego Comic Con 2014 LEGO Store Community Window

Fashion Valley LEGO Store Community Window

San Diego Comic Con 2014 is upon us and my LEGO Store in Fashion Valley has gotten into the mood as well with their latest community window change out. This month’s window is centered towards the geekiness that is Comic Con with contributions by fellow SandLUG members Jason and Mariann. Jason, known for his CubeDudes creations, has built a number of pop culture characters from different TV series and movies including Batman: The Animated Series, Doctor Who, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Avengers, and Star Wars. If you look closely, you can also see Baymax from the upcoming Walt Disney animated movie, Big Hero 6. As you can see, he has done an amazing job on all the characters and it shows with a bit of imagination and creativity, you can build almost anything.

Mariann’s contribution to the window is her mosaic portrait of Doctor Who’s 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. In this type of mosaic, she is able to capture the portrait using the sides of the LEGO elements rather than the traditional studs up method of creating a mosaic. You can check out how Mariann created the portrait on her Flickr where she shows a blueprint of the complicated process. I’ve seen images of the mosaic before but to see it in person makes it even cooler.

If you’re going to be here for SDCC 2014, I highly recommend checking out the community window at the LEGO Store here in Fashion Valley Mall. You can easily take the trolley from the convention center … Continue
