Director's Comments

This is my American Civil War Stop Motion film made with LEGO (Brickfilm), Blue and Gray. The movie follows twin brothers Will and John Compson, who fight on separate sides during the American Civil War, specifically, the Atlanta Campaign. Here, they will endure the hardships of war, come face to face on the battlefield, and must decide whether to remain loyal to their countries or their family. This film won 1st place at my regional and state tech fair for "Animated Graphic Design" in my age group, and I consider it to be my best Brickfilm so far.
