Check out the making-of video for the brilliant LEGO Star Wars III stop motion film.

Ever wonder how they do those cool stop motion videos with the little LEGO guys running around? A few weeks back, we posted this fun video connected to LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.

Today, LucasArts sent along this making of video from Jordan Johnson (YouTube handle: Fancy Pants), the artist/filmmaker who put together the video. You can check out the "set" for the film, as well as a brief tutorial and how he does what he does.

LEGO Star Wars III has been out for a couple of months now, but it's definitely worth checking out if you've ever been a fan of the series. You can read our review here.

Enjoy the video!

    How come they never tell you how they make objects float in the air in stop motion animation? That has been a burning question of mine.

    I have an appreciation for people who do this because it seems like an absolutely terrible process that ends up looking cool.

    I could see doing that having the same addictive nature as playing a hearty round of Civ. Just one more, just one more, next thing you know it's 3am and you have 2 1/2 hours until you gotta get up for work, but just one more!
