Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman!

Posted by timothy on from the in-your-copious-free-time dept.

Decaffeinated Jedi writes "Students at the Digital Animation and Visual Effects (DAVE) School are working on a film that will bring everyone's favorite caped crusader to life through the magic of computer-generated LEGO blocks. 'Batman: New Times' features Adam West as the voice of Batman, Mark Hammil as the Joker, Dick Van Dyke as Commissioner Gordon, and Courtney Thorne-Smith as Catwoman. A rather impressive trailer is available now."

  1. Doesn't say. How much? by FreeLinux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How much did it cost to produce this "little" student project?

    3D computer graphics animation.
    Professional sound and scoring.
    Real life movie stars for voices.

    All this stuff costs Disney millions of dollars for a 90 minute movie. How much did it cost for this little project?
