The Motograph reaches 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas

LEGO Ideas project The Motograph has now reached 10,000 supporters, and will move into the review stage for the LEGO Group.

The interactive LEGO Ideas project, created by user kongjirra, showcases an impressive moving display similar to a linear zoetrope, reminiscent of pre-film early methods of animating a moving picture.

One of the highlights of the project is the fact that you can customise the image to one of a few different designs, making it both versatile as a display as well as particularly interesting to anyone with a love for animation or optical illusions.

As explained by the creator, the model uses the principle of “the persistence of vision” to create the illusion of movement, and uses LEGO bricks to create the slots that allow the image to seem to move.

For anyone unfamiliar with the LEGO Ideas timeline, now that the project has reached 10,000 supporters on the site it moves right into the review stage, where the LEGO Group will consider whether to make the project into an actual set. Recent sets that started off as LEGO Ideas projects include 21341 Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage, which we’ve reviewed here.
