The Lego Movie is a 2014 animated adventure comedy film written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Based on the Lego line of construction toys, the film stars the voices of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. The story focuses on Emmet Brickowski (Pratt), an ordinary Lego minifigure who is believed to be "the Special" and is destined to help a resistance movement stop a tyrannical businessman (Ferrell) from gluing everything in the Lego world into his vision of perfection.
It's one thing to light for action in a Lego movie, but quite another to light for drama and emotion. Our characters have trapezoid bodies and cylindrical heads - the flat planes of the bodies reflect light at the camera inconveniently, creating distracting flashes, while the heads model light without subtlety or nuance.
