Re: The Button

It's pretty impressive for a first brickfilm, but as an overall film it has a lot of flaws. A lot of the visual effects were done well, and the compositing was pretty realistic. I liked some of the face expressions, but at some parts it looked like the characters had shape-shifting blobs on their faces rather than mouths.

The cinematography was also pretty good throughout the film; I really liked the lighting at some parts. One thing that bothered me was the fact that the focus kept on changing between characters very suddenly. They got really blurry when they weren't talking, which was kind of distracting. Also, as some people have already pointed out, the dialogue and voice acting weren't the best, and the story was a little incoherent at parts.

Overall, it's pretty impressive for a first attempt, and I hope to see more from you in the future.

By the way, the introduction reminded me of Unrenewable and Picturesque. mini/tongue

I'm not entirely sure but i think they used motion tracking on the actors mouths.

Which film festival? Is it the one in Austin?

By the way, I made my own fan-made poster for "The Button". Tell me what you think, Phillip.

Check out my two latest films!

Re: The Button

Nope, not the AFF. I'm submitting it into this film festival actually (and possibly a couple others):

In-fact, I was just notified not but a couple days ago that it was a semi-finalist, so it looks like I'll be booking a flight to San Antonio. ;)

The layout of the fan poster is pretty good actually. You just need some higher quality images. ;p

Re: The Button

I liked it! mini/smile
I just think the animation frame rate was a little slow.
