Artist 3: Tomosteen
● Tomosteen is a Japanese animation artist who creates stop
motion videos.
● His videos are him sharing recipes of a meal made completely
out of Legos.
● He manipulates the Legos in specific ways in each frame he
takes so that they appear as if they are being cut, spilt, mixed, or
poured, just like real food.
Tomosteen, Lego Chocolate Cake, 2020
Assignment:
● Create your own stop motion animation of a food that reminds you of your childhood
or a food that makes you feel good. Use InShot to put all the frames together and
edit them. Make sure to include sound effects.
Questions:
● How has technology changed the way in which we share things, like recipes?
● Do you think this video would be as interesting if it wasn’t made out of Legos?
● Does the inclusion of sound add to the video? Do you think certain sounds could
sometimes be distracting?
● How does the food Toomosteen creates make you feel? Tomosteen, Lego Triple
● Does seeing food made out of Legos still make it look appetizing? Or does the idea Layer Cheesecake, 2020
of it being plastic make it less appetizing?
