The Lego Man in Black
Mixing a legend, a gospel staple and Lego's sounds flammable, right? You'd think. And I have to admit that when I first stumbled onto this video, I was flooded with annoyance. How irreverent of these kids, I thought. But then, after watching it all the way through, I realized that this was a labor of love...and probably not the work of kids. Misguided love? Maybe. But love just the same. Look at the details - at the characters, at their mouths, at the set, at the Man in Black. Look at the frames this must've taken. Look at the consistency from beginning to end. Look at the timing and choreography. This was a labor of absolute reverence. For the song? For Cash himself? Yes, and yes. I think maybe even reverence for Lego's too.
But I'm curious, what do you think?
