The Magic Portal
''The Magic Portal'' is a 1989 live-action/stop motion animated sci-fi adventure short film written and directed by Lindsay Fleay.

The film tells the story of an astronaut that finds a mysterious portal that transports him and his crew to strange and wondrous worlds. Fleay appears in a live-action role. Initially met with threats of legal action by Lego, the film was referenced in the 2014 film ''The Lego Movie''. History The film was produced in Perth, Australia from 1985 to 1989. The film was shot on a Bolex 16mm camera.

Bricks In Motion 2009 Website Logo
A brick is a type of block used to build walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction. Properly, the term ''brick'' denotes a block composed of dried clay, but is now also used informally to denote other chemically cured construction blocks. Bricks can be joined using mortar, adhesives or by interlocking them. Bricks are usually produced at brickworks in numerous classes, types, materials, and sizes which vary with region and time period, and are produced in bulk quantities. ''Block'' is a similar term referring to a rectangular building unit composed of similar materials, but is usually larger than a brick. Lightweight bricks (also called lightweight blocks) are made from expanded clay aggregate. Fired bricks are one of the longest-lasting and strongest building materials, sometimes referred to as artificial stone, and have been used since circa 4000 BC. Air-dried bricks, also known as mud-bricks, have a history older than fired bricks, and have an additio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
