I randomly found this cool animation that is similar to the style I went for with my Lego man pixilation. It was also created on a mac my students at Norwich, working with the BBC. They also made the music in garage band, which I might give a try to make it more my own creation. 

The organisation called global digital creativity go around the country giving workshops to underprivileged children. I thought this was really cool that the creativity of animation is helping the society on a different level for everyone. Animation is more than esthetically pleasing, like any film can be it is a reflection of your character, and can be a reflection of other peoples lives and identities.
