Morgan Spence has a talent for bringing piles of Lego bricks to life through the art of stop-motion animation.

So when Lego artist Warren Elsmore gave the 15-year-old a two-week deadline to create a promotional video for Elsmore's upcoming book, Spence gladly accepted the challenge. The resulting video is a brief stop-motion homage to famous films created entirely from Lego bricks.

The clip references 13 classics, including The Wizard of Oz, E.T. and Breakfast at Tiffany's, and ties into Elsmore's book, Brick Flicks. The book itself will feature Lego recreations from 60 films. Spence tells Mashable that he worked on a different scene each night after school, and borrowed custom-printed Lego characters from Elsmore and minifigs.me.

The Scotland native has been playing with Legos since the age of 3, adding that he combined his love for the toy and film making in 2011 with his first stop-motion film.

"Lego is the perfect medium for animation because it is almost as if it's been designed for animation," Spence says. "The scale and minifigures work really well for walking and adding in movements and character."
