Creating a picture story with Lego

As I have written about earlier on this blog. Having fun and being creative is only about your inner boundaries. Who said adults cannot play with action figures on holiday? DaVinci? Don't think so. And he was a cool dude.
Well, now the family here at Sagene has gone even further in their playful behaviour. It's Lego time!


Maybe you weren't aware that adults playing with Lego has become a major source of income for the danish toy giant. They are not buying for their kids, no I'm talking about complex but fun advanced Lego building. I am not one of those. I'm nothing but a humble amateur trying to see if I can use Lego as a storytelling tool. (Actually, I'm concidering implementing some of this in my many business presentations and lectures.)
But let's look at this just for the fun of it for the time being. Lego worth half a Chanel bag takes you far. A good digital camera even further (this family use a Canon EOS 400D with Tamron 17-50XR Di II, so that's not for the kids). And to top it of you can use a program like Comic Life from Magiq. This program makes it easy to create comics. In a few minutes you can create something like what you see below. (Click on image to enlarge.)


So what are you waiting for? Go play with your kids and create stories. Remember, they are just an excuse, so if you don't have any small ones available at hand, just say "I play with Lego and I'm proud of it".
It doesn't mind if your beloved ones have high acceptance factor for "different" behaviour either...
