looks good.
Pretty wild!
The shots look nice. I especially like the busyness of the second shot since a lot of brickfilm city scenes are lacking in a proper amount of pedestrians and traffic.
thanks. it looks really good in motion. that is for sure.
Some really great angels in this one, Cooked Cat. I hate summers. I don't get the time to watch anything that I want to because of pics or previews and so on. I watch fewer brickfilms that I like as it is; summer is worse.
thanks. it wont be out for a while yet, so dont worry.
So... um...

Frame by boazbolton, on Flickr
That a appears to be an incredibly large set, and the colored trees are very interesting. I also like the gradient in the color of the sky. However they way you've cut the minifigs off at the bottom of the frame is a bit awkward, it feels like their legs are missing.
The shot's still not 100% ready for animating, but it's very close.
Good composition, but it must be a night shot, as I can make out things but have to stare. I'm sure in motion it's going to be very dynamic.
Wow. The amount of work you're putting into each shot is really incredible.
Terrific lighting and composition.
I gotta get some lights to use on set now. Anyways, amazing frames, so far! Although, the way the foreground street just suddenly ends looks kinda weird.
Thanks all! I appreciate it! Also, legoguy, I agree I'm not 100% on the foreground street yet. I'm trying to make it look like the top of a hill, but something isn't quite right yet. I'm going to do a test animation in a day or so, with a car driving down the hill. Maybe that will help sell the illusion more.
hey, Nathan, what is the origin of the COla can? Is that a real brick? Or did you make a label? Is it a Simpsons part?
I got the Cola can from CustomBricks, a site that prints LEGO bricks with custom designs:

They are extremely high quality and I'm very pleased with their products. I ordered two copies of the soda pack.
It's from Firestar Toys if I'm not mistaken.
Edit: That's what I get for taking to long to write the post... 
While the abruptly ending road looks a little odd, a driving car should fix that perfectly. Even if not, it's such a tiny flaw in such an awesome set and composition that I wouldn't worry about it one bit.
As I have said before, I love the use of LEDs, as well as the really expansive and detailed sets. Big city scenes are not that uncommon with the modular buildings nowadays, but you've not only added elevation differences, but also a nice turn in the road to shake things up and launch this leagues ahead of the typical city street scene. And if you keep releasing frames of this quality I'll have to go find a dictionary and look up some more superlatives. I'm about to run out. 
I've love to see how you set this up, and what your desk and wiring looks like. If you don't mind.
@Randomboaz,
I have to agree with Backyard, the set looks fine, but chopping off the figure's legs leads to a poor balance in the frame, and too much open space up top. The eye is drawn to the spacecraft thing, but I feel that the focus is supposed to be on the minifigures.
@Cooked Cat,
They all look fantastic. Can't wait to see them in motion.
I've been posting lots of behind the scenes shots on my Twitter feed, here are some of the pictures. They aren't completely up to date because it's missing some of the buildings to the right, but I'll definitely take more pictures as I fine-tune the shot. If you want detailed pictures of anything, let me know!
That's an awesome setup! I animate on my wife's dresser drawer!
