I started this project a year ago after Christmas of 2007.  I got a lot of LEGOs for Christmas, so I made a goal to create a film using only the LEGOs that I got for Christmas. 
So, me being me (and quite inept at brickfilming at the time, hopefully which has diminished in some form - I hope I got better), I just starting filming stuff without any idea whatsoever about how it was going to fit to-gether.  I knew there were Martians, and a green spear, and a diver, but I had no idea, or at that time intention, as to how they would fit to-gether to form some semblance of plot or action. 
Basically, I just shot stuff that I thought I would later need or it just looked cool - OK maybe not, I just shot stuff I thought I would need later.
I sat down in October (of 2008) and finally, FINALLY, scripted more or less of a plot to the film, which is not really the same in any respects toward the original.  So, this video link enclosed herein will bring you to what is all of the extra footage that I created.  It's not too terribly interesting; however, it does show how much better I got in animating.  Even just in one year, ha.  (I've only been doing it for a year.) 
There probably will be little to no reflection between this preview/WIP type thing and that actual finished film.  For which I have only two finished scenes, no script (as of yet), no dialogue, no storyboarding. 
Brickfilming was easier before it had to actually be well done.

Edit: I realise I use taboo live action.  The final will NOT have any.  I realised with Video Title (an-other poorly made first brickfilm), that live action mixed with animation just looks really bad.
