Stop-motion Lego sports videos lead to Big 10 contract Sometime he's up all night bringing the tiny plastic figures to life — but that's mostly because daddy now has deadlines, reported the Idaho Statesman (http://bit.ly/2dOiofw). The videos are stop-motion animations made from a series of 130 to 250 still photos. Some of his college football re-enactments have been wildly popular online, including Michigan's fumbled punt on the last play of its 2015 loss to Michigan State and BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum's winning Hail Mary pass last year against Nebraska. [...] don't look for him to re-create something from a BSU loss, even if some Nevada fan offered him a large sum of money to remake the end of the Wolf Pack's 2010 game with Boise State. The Broncos lost that game after missing two field goals, and that took them out of the national championship conversation. [...] he gained insight and inspiration from talking to others making videos for YouTube and attending Anaheim's VidCon, which bills itself as a conference "for people who love online video." During a lull in Thanksgiving festivities at his mother-in-law's house in Idaho Falls four or five years ago, he retreated to the basement to work on a Lego stop-motion animation scene. There are all sorts of scenes, everything from "Ghostbusters" to the NBA Finals to renowned artist Bob Ross painting. Jacobs doesn't recall playing with Legos growing up, but now his family's apartment in North Boise sometimes looks as though a Lego tsunami hit it.
