Rugby World Cup 2011 in Lego!

I have found a brilliant stop animation film to celebrate the first day of the Rugby World Cup 2011. A 17 year old student from Scotland called Graham Love has used stop animation to make a film featuring Lego characters performing tackles, scrums and the famous All Blacks’ Haka. He’s even made the Lego men bear a resemblance to the real rugby stars. The video has been so much of an internet hit that it has been featured on the news in New Zealand and he has been offered a contract by a newspaper to animate more!

Take a look at the video here.

Any ideas of what other sporting events we can animate?!
