Lego Matrix: Boyd and Ilett’s Accuracy
If you are a fan of “The Matrix” and of Lego, you better watch the work done by Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett. Their frame by frame Lego reproduction of one of the scenes in Matrix is totally awesome. It’s too accurate that you would think these guys do not have much to do. The truth is, they had to work for 440 hours, probably not sleeping for quite a long time. You have to give it to them though, they are rather talented.
What is really unbelievable is the work put into this. Ilett and Boyd worked on the video from August of 2008 to August 2009.For those who think you have spotted a discrepancy, watch the video again through the comparison video these talented guys have provided. These guys studied each and every part of the scene and their work is extraordinary. If there were a Lego awards this work of art will surely take the cake.
Their first work is pitiful, at least, according to them. Their supposedly pitiful Lego animation is not at par with the Matrix one but very good nonetheless.
The two did a frame accurate clip and that means 900 frames for 44 seconds of footage. During the first few days of Lego Matrix Trinity Help’s making, Ilett and Boyd planned to do everything just by using a camera i.e. no special effects, no Photoshop tricks, no wire-removal. However, the two regretted this because it took a while for one scene to be finished.
Unfortunately for Legomaniacs, these guys won’t be doing the whole trilogy since it would be too time consuming.
Their Matrix reproduction can be viewed on YouTube and in their official website. If you would like to see what these guys have to say about their work, just key in Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett on your search engine of choice.
