Topic: Just For Kicks

A small slapstick comedy short, featuring a character made out of plates instead of a minifigure and a square soccer ball.

Enjoy!

Very original. We need more brickfilms like this.

Re: Just For Kicks

Haha I loved that. I like what you did with the 1x1s and such to animate a whole new lego figure. Very creative and very enjoyable.
Thanks,

Re: Just For Kicks

Haha, that was sweet.  Good slapstick and the animation was smooth and detailed.  mini/smile

Re: Just For Kicks

Thanks for the feedback folks! This was a very fun film to make, because using plates opened up a lot of possibilities for poses and movements. That, and I didn't have to worry about my figures falling over.

Re: Just For Kicks

That was great! I think the movement could have been a little more dynamic, though. The lighting also wasn't perfect, but that doesn't detract so much.

Re: Just For Kicks

This was a very, VERY unique take on Brickfilming.  Very well done.

I agree 200%! it was indeed very original. try making this type of thing into a mini series or something.

Re: Just For Kicks

Wow I've never seen that. Very good animation, I liked it mini/bigsmile .

Re: Just For Kicks

Very cool idea. I would have made the ball a different color, otherwise it looks like the figure it playing around with a dismembered head. Or maybe that's just my twisted sense of humor. mini/tongue

Re: Just For Kicks

Wow, that was a pretty neat idea, and well executed, too.  For me though it does raise the question of what purpose there is in using LEGO pieces for something like this; it'd be easy to use construction paper, which would give you greater control over the look of the pieces.  Still a nice experiment though.

Re: Just For Kicks

I think a little more of the 'joints' of the figure should have been moved more, but for the most part, very well done.

Construction paper would definitely open up a lot of opportunities for unique shapes and such, but I actually think they would be more difficult to work with than Lego pieces. That would be definitely something I would like to try out, though
