An Amateur Lego Penalty Shootout
My first brickfilm. Done in about ten minutes, give it some love 
Welcome to BricksinMotion, araujoaaron2015!
For your first brickfilm, An Amateur Lego Penalty Shootout is pretty decent. Both the animation and the story are fun; just as a brickfilm should be.
However, you might want to improve on a few things for your next film. First, animating on the floor can be rather difficult. It might be more efficient to animate on top of a desk or table, and remember, always tape down or stick down your set to avoid jerky, incremental movement. Along with your set, make sure your camera is secured as well; whether it be with a tripod or a cradle of some kind. Also, rather than using natural light as your light source, you should use artificial lighting, such as a desk lamp or lamps. Here is a starting guide for lighting your scene.
Keep up the good work, and never stop practicing!
