Great job Mighty!
You've come a long way in these past few years, and this is yet another evidence of that.
The lighting is fantastic, and compliments the stellar set design. You nailed the look of an overcrowded pawnshop. I have no doubt that the roughest part of this video was all the slower, smaller motions that are really hard to emulate in Lego. And yet, you nailed them all. Even the out-of-socket motions and posing look nice.

Do you have some behind the scenes stuff? I'd love to see how you managed some of those shots with unconventional posing and movements.

You put a lot of time and effort into this film, and it shows. And I can't think of anything you could have improved on.
I'm not a huge fan of TobyMac's music, but I can certainly respect the message. After all, the Bible does call us to forsake all for the cause of Christ, yet so many of us hang on to stuff to the detriment of our Christian walk. Thank you for pouring your time into a worthwhile message.

I've been waiting for this for ages and ages. Was it worth the wait? Of course it was!

I was expecting this to be amazing, but actually, this is beyond amazing! Not only is this the greatest brickfilm of 2016 so far, but it is one of the greatest brickfilms ever created. This is a masterpiece. How did you make something so good? How, I ask you? I didn't think it was possible to be that good at animating!

May the Lord Bless you,
Amen.

Great job! You matched the lighting really well (which is beautiful), and as everyone seems to be noticing, the slow animation is really impressive.

I didn't read the comments of others; I viewed and went straight for my first impression.  But I doubt there is little I can add that hasn't been said or will be said in the coming few days.

Technically and thematically, it raised the bar in demonstrating what a fine work of art the medium of the Brickfiilm can be.  This is definitely the best brickfilm of the year, and I doubt no other film this year will steal that title, unless "The Squire and The Scroll" is released and meets all expectations.

You should be proud.

By the way, I tried to rate this 5 bricks, but BiM returns a 404 error.  Can some admin be sue my vote is counted?

Thanks so much, everyone! I put a lot of work into this, so I appreciate the response.

You'll be able to see the microphone setup in the behind the scenes video, which is coming soon.

See above^

Also, the side-by-side comparison video is out!

Whaaaaa there's no error... 

It's clear you've put a lot of effort into this, and it shows.  I love the animation, particularly the movement of the arms.  On the whole, not only this rendition is extremely accurate and faithful to the original, it's also highly enjoyable to watch.  Fantastic work.

Undoubtedly the best Brickfilm music video I have seen yet. You obviously put a ton of effort into making this and it really shows

Back for 2019!

I'm sure no one would mind this thread being bumped, since this is such an iconic video in the Lego brickfilm library, and we'd love to rewatch.

My children watch Liberty Treehouse on weekends on the blaze, and the original Toby Mac video was on today.  Liberty Treehose is significant to brickfilming because they aired John D. Thunder's "Perpetual Twilight" brickfilm, which was a contest entry here that was also entered in the internet's MMO filmmaking social experience, "Sneak on the Lot".  As the winner, it appeared on Liberty Treehouse.  It's awesome to hear Brick7s voice thru the TV speaker, which doesn't normally happen unless I'm watching a Holding Our Own DVD.
