I'm such a skilled MLG brickfilmer that I couldn't even make a bad film! mini/XD  I am too good a brickfilmer to win this contest.  But I am still am going to vote for myself.  After all, there's not other way i'd have a chance at winning a bad brickfilm contest.

How was I not in on this??? mini/jaw

Anyhow, I have to say Squid is the winner. Anyone can make a terrible video, but few can actually make a terrible video still worth watching (plus, he obviously put the most work into his entry). Squid pulled that off here. Great job!

I've always felt that the best bad movies are the ones that earnestly strive to be excellent, then fail on every level.

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

Alle 4 films were hard to get to the end (and I didn't, in fact, get to the end of any). ANP's was too polished to be the worst of the bunch, it even had a kind of "complex" animation, compared to the others. In Harborlight's I could undertand who was talking. Rioforce's was bad enough. But Wammy: it's the shortest and still I couldn't watch the whole thing, and I didn't know what was going on, who was what and why. Now, that is what I would call a real winner. It's not an easy feat to make a brickfilm that bad.

Congratulation Wamy, my vote goes to you.

I shall vote for myself! mini/bigsmile

You mean vids like this?

Yeah, I agree with you.
It's one of those indulgences in which very few people like to talk about out loud.

Fortunately/unfortunately I grew up on 7-11's 99 cent very terrible horror movie rentals on vhs.
There's just something about awful movies that's downright hilarious.

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

I vote for Wammy, but Squid's is a close runner-up in my book.

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

I could only watch Squid's all the way to the end, and I actually liked it.  The other three were too painful to finish; however, only Wammy's made both my eyes and ears bleed.

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

I vote for Harborlight, his felt like something that was trying to be good, but was awful. I laughed at Squids, meaning it was actually worth watching, and Wammy's was too obviously a joke. Rioforce's reminded me to much of childhood.

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

In all honesty, I think RiigoForce made a worse film than Wammy.  Wammy's film is so blurry that I wouldn't even be able to tell it was LEGO.  But there are maybe one or two where it looks like it might be.

Now the other three entries are just mostly subtly out of focus, emulating the common error in early films of brickfilmers (including my own) where the focus isn't right on the figure.  Wammy's goes so far it's not really believable, and instead look like maybe it's part of a ToTheArk video.

Now Wammy's film has the lowest production value, but it's really short, so I can actually get through it.  Riio's however, is really, REALLY long.  and there are not enough good jokes to help you through it.  This is another problem with real bad brickfilms, being too long.  I've never actually been able to get through that video Dewfilms linked.  I can never get past the bicycle.

I managed to barely get through RiigoForce's the first time, but the second time I couldn't even even get half way.

I was trying to go for a little bit of that in my own film.  But I ran out of time and cut some stuff, so it ended up a lot shorter than it was meant to be.  But it still got somewhere to that effect since MPfist0 turned it off.

I ended up actually easing in and out a little bit because it's become such a habit that it was hard to break.  But I think that it makes it look at least as though the brickfilmer creating the film actually knew a few basics of animation and was trying to do something with that.

The film itself is actually better than anything I had made for my first several years of brickfilming.  I didn't even know the basics.

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

In terms of being objectively the worst, I'd have to say Wammy.  Although I'm not even sure if it properly counts as a "film", considering you can't even really make out if there even is any LEGO.  I would say that Riigoforce's or Harborlight's entries feel a lot more like bad Brickfilms, of the sort that a young child with no understanding of film or animation would make.  Riigoforce's film in particular manages to capture this feeling masterfully (never shall I look at duelling horses in the same way again).

In terms of entertainment value, though, I'd definitely have to say Squid.  Even though it's intentionally horrible, I still could not stop laughing all the way through it.  Somehow, the "animation" of the multiple Hagrids is hilarious, and the voice-acting just cracks me up (it sounds surprisingly, for want of a better word, "professional").  Also, Magic Lens Flare Gun.  Maybe I just have a very weird sense of humour. 

So, I guess my vote would be a toss-up between Riigoforce (for "Bad-Brickfilm-ness") and Squid (for sheer entertainment value).

Re: The Worst Best Animation (That you Judge)

Alright, I watched the whole thing.  Was the full film ever completed, though?
