Gather together all of your Star Wars Lego pieces. Build all of the ships you have, save background settings and put together all of the characters you have.
Find your other Lego sets as well. Extra pieces, characters, and props may come in handy when the Star Wars sets just do not have enough with them.
Plan out what type of movie you want to make. You can recreate a famous scene from a Star Wars movie, or create your own new saga with Luke Skywalker and the Star Wars clan.
Draw out storyboards so that everything is planned accordingly. When creating a stop motion movie with Lego pieces, you want as many details as possible planned out so that you do not make mistakes when creating it.
Set up all of the scenes for the movie. Ensure that there is proper lighting, full backgrounds, and nothing like a shaky table that could disrupt the taping.
Get your equipment ready. The best thing to use for this type of shoot is a Digital SLR camera, but a regular video camera can be used as well. Just make sure that you have extra batteries and enough storage space on whatever device you choose to use.
Tape all of your scenes. This is going to be the longest process because one second of actual movie requires 24-27 different shots.
Move all of the figures a little bit to showcase the movement after each shot. If you move them too much, then they may appear jumpy on the final product, so use very slight movements.
Upload all of your footage onto a computer once the filming has completed. A lot of the “movie magic” is done in the editing, so be prepared to work on the project heavily.
Mix in footage from the Lego Star Wars video games. If this is done correctly then you can create fantastic looking movies that mix together digital and real footage into a fun and exciting Star Wars homage.
Use software like Adobe After Effects to add things like lasers, light sabers, and other effects that are abundant in Star Wars movies.
Finish your movie by adding in classic Star Wars songs, scrolling titles, and credits.
