Thanks for the code Ger, I'll have a play with it and do a test render later
to see how it looks.
If anyone would like to see my first stab at an animation in POV-Ray you can
download it here:
http://www.theloveorthemoney.com/3d/test%20big%20zoom.avi
It's a 30MB XViD file. I added a zoom effect in post production to break the
absolute position of each brick from frame to frame to make it look less
artificial. It came out alright, but it didn't really nail the effect I was
after. I think adding some depth like has been suggested could make it much
more impressive.

This looks very cool!
Do you have a large number of .bmp/.jpg files as input, or do you use a
video file?

Awesome. If you make it totally photorealistic, and jitter the blocks
about (both individually and as a whole), add random colored blocks
disconnected at the sides for one or two frames, and occasionally put in
a frame where you can see your hand at the side, you could probably
convince people you did this all by hand with stop-motion. :-)

Without presuming to read Tim's mind, i would say that the color of the
table is a question of composition, not realism. I.e., if this were a
photograph, the table would *still* look too bright for the composition,
even though it is precisely the right color (by definition!) for reality.
One neat thing about art is that you can create your own reality. (Just be
sure you can find your way back to the real world.) To fix the composition
in POV-Ray, all you need is to tweak the finish { diffuse } value. In real
life you'd need wood stain, a drop cloth, adequate ventilation, a chemical
mask, and the spouse's permission. (Or maybe find a different table.)
The normal or heightfield suggestion *can* make the photo look more
realistic, because the photo itself is one dimension short of reality.

Cheers! I started with a video file captured in an emulator, converted that
at 25 fps to a bunch of png's, and then resized them to the number of 'lego
pixels' I had in my image. A bit of SDL and I got the video above.

Great tips there mate. The next version with your suggestions and a bit of
depth
is going to look really cool! Watch this space...

You could also use .gray as:
#if ((COL.gray < LowerGrayLimit) | (COL.gray > HighGrayLimit))
It evaluate the average of all 3 chanels, discriminating on the brightness
regardless of the hue.

Saw your Donkey Kong animation floating around the various gamer sites
(kotaku and others). At least I think it is yours, or someone borrowed
your table and brown Lego block border.
Congrats of making everyone guess if it was real and took months, or CGI
and took the same amount of time.
