Broken News (BRAWL 2014)
http://youtu.be/TKhhIRKNW5A
Today we have three developing stories.
Director- END films
News anchor voice actor- Pritchard Studios
I enjoyed it. Although it's really no more than jokes held together with a framework, this sort of film works as a brickfilm, in my opinion, and there are many silly joke films among my favorite brickfilms. The pace is fast enough to keep me interested, and I liked the wrap up at the end. As long as it's funny and makes my laugh it's a successful, and this made me laugh, so good job. 
As was said in chat, that news anchor needs a better voice. 
I love the intro logo, it looks clean and professional, yet still maintains a nice Lego feel.
The first few seconds need some sort of audio, and it generally seems to only have the absolutely needed sounds.
It works as a more simplistic style, but I feel that the short would have benefited from a more complete sound design.
Otherwise, the sets and animation are great, though I wouldn't have placed the three small TVs right behind the anchor's head. It's a nice short, and tying everything together at the end was a good idea, but the run time is too short to give it any real substance.

I rendered the logo with ldd to pov-ray (which I learned about from you)
Yeah, the silence bugged me but I have yet to record a good walking sound.
I have a few scripts with more substance that I will soon start on (after I wrap up another film).
I see my film has been buried suddenly 
(that's what I get for being the 2nd person to post their BRAWL film 
).
Does anyone have any more thoughts about my film?
Really amazing animation. It was quite humorous. The only slight problem was it was a little to short. After seeing the great animation I was itching for more. Great job!

Thanks. Yeah my films tend to be shorter than it feels like they should be.
Nice job! I especially like the set in the teleporter scene at the end. The similarities between our entries are funny - we both used the same button press animation technique, and both videos involve a teleporter.
Yeah, some people in the BiM chat joked that this year's theme was "teleportation" (another film also featured it).
I was surprised when people where amazed at your button pressed but never mentioned mine. Yours did have a additional frame that added a cartoonish feel. I was inspired for the technique by one used pre-1x1 round tile that used a modified stud (http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … -reverted/) but now with that piece LEGO purists like myself can do it too.
I would have used a quickcam 4000 too...if I had one. 
This was really silly and funny LOL.
Great job.

Good job, I really liked this one. It's a clever story, held together by some funny jokes.

Thank you very much.
Congratz on 21st Endfilms!
That was really funny. I really liked the random wacky humour and lighting. The animation was also really good and flawless. My only complaints would be camera angle in the news room seemed a little to much pointing down instead of a nice level straight-on shot. Also the news room seemed like it might have looked a bit better if you would have made it out of clear blue bricks with white behind them so it would look a bit more like big windows and large Tv screens.
Also how did you do the totally smooth yellow on the news reporters face that looked really cool? 
Overall, a really nice, well-made short that really made me laugh.

What do you mean? 
The face of the news reporter looked really not reflective it was a really smooth nice and it almost looked like CGI. It looked really low contrast but still nice and colourful and just really good and Awesome.
