Ian Anderson

Ian Anderson has been inspired to direct ever since he was a boy. He was an ordinary boy who loved legos and movies. Being inspired by movies like Avatar and youtube stop motion animators like forrestfire101 he turned his legos into life. Through the power of stop motion animation they fought crime, celebrated the holidays at Christmas but destroyed the masses at Halloween and it bridged thug life with old age. Soon though, this little Lego world, a seemingly infinite universe with endless possibilities to a 12 year old, became too small. Lego quickly turned to stop motion which eventually grew into live action films.

Through the benefits of live action films he created his first short film at the age of 16. He created this for an important school assignment about a Hindu's life after death in five days and with a micro budget to.
