The Tree

The Tree is a 2014 inspirational timelapse brickfilm by Trevor "legoguy501" Sprague. It focuses on a single tree and the life around it. It was an entry into Bricks in Motion's Darkness and Light Contest, in which it placed second.

Plot
A lone tree is living in a peaceful meadow, with only mountains in the distance. Soon, a house is built in the distance, with another coming shortly after. Three children then play around the tree. Soon, an entire village is constructed, and they live peacefully. A castle is constructed outside the village, with a field of wheat nearby. All is peaceful, until suddenly, an enemy attacks the village, burning it to the ground. Winter comes, leaving snow on the tree. In the spring, the three kids from the beginning (who are older), revisit the tree. Soon, a new house is built in the distance.
