That was great. I loved it at the premiere, although the blood wasn't very realistic, but that's hard to pull off. Great animation. The bad greenscreening made it look more cool.

Yeah, I was thinking a while on what I was going to use to do the blood. Liquid? LEGO? Those weren't very good options, so I needed something quick when I was about to film, so I decided on clay. Glad you liked the rest out it though, and thanks!
Very interesting. So the dead guy was him.
Dude,that was beautiful.
The greenscreening was a bit dodgy,the small amount of voice acting was good.The score really made the film though.I also quite likled the blood,actually.I was reminded of Stanley Kubrick's 2001 while watching this.

I'm going to hang that quote up on my wall.

Yeess, I wanted to keep it as quiet and lonely as possible, and I didn't want to have to wait for voice actors.:P
The score really made the film though.
Mixing the music was fun, they had a lot of great stuff to chose from in Soundtrack (my program), I was very lucky for that.

@Just Kidden:
Glad you liked it, man. 
Thanks, guys. 
Wow, that was creepy, really hard to pull that off in a brickfilm. I once had a nightmare like that, except there was this strange woman saying: "LEON HAS DIED. GET OUT! GET OUT!!" But, i only know one person called leon, and no offence to him, but we might be good friends but he's not that important. 
Any way, back on topic, great film, and i loved the moon set, it was really cool. I hope to become half as good as you one day.
I really wish that you had just used a solid black background like 2001 instead of greenscreening and the stars. However, I still really liked this; it had this sort of creeping feeling of horror that was incredibly effective.
The protagonist had a box around him due to bad green screen, I tried to accept that he was encased in a glass box because that would be cooler. This is my favorite film from the competition only because how surreal it is. Good job.

You misspelled "accept".

I blame the English dictionary.
I blame the communists 
@ filmyguy: Great movie! The lack of voice acting really added to the ominous and creepy feeling of the film, i really liked the trailer also.
btw: who ended up winning the trailer contest? (i missed the premiere)
The frozen brick with his trailer for Time Police.
This film is awesome. When he
comes across his own blood again
there's a great moment where you suddenly realise what has happened.
Wow.
Brilliant. A rarity among brickfilms.
I suggest a redux, reshoot those greenscreen scenes with a better set up and keying. It make for a more appealing film.
Very nice horror atmosphere. Quite frightening actually. My only complaint is the greenscreen, although when I first saw the box in the space scene I thought he was frozen in ice, which would be kind of cool (no pun intended). Anyway, great work.

Yeah, that scene was very rushed. By the time I'd finished filming that scene it was four days til the deadline, so it was very hard for me and T-G.Tom to get it perfect with that limited time. I do plan on filming that scene again though for the remastered version. I'm glad you still liked it though. I had some people over at my house and I showed them the film, I'm not sure that they liked it because they said it was so scary, and I was kind bummed about that. But then I realized that I should be proud that people thought it was frightening! I don't think I've ever really seen a genuinely scary brickfilm. That made me feel a lot better. 
Impressive the sparse look of few elements. Even the crude effects specials I find charming.
The tone is sad. Is nightmarish, though not very engaging or energetic is still memorable haunting.
This I remember vividly from the STAR festival. Now I watched it again with "U2 - Unknown Caller" for soundtrack.
