Spider
This is our first music video using a song by "They MIGHT BE Giants." This film took an enormous amount of time to make (even though it's less than a minute). Enjoy!

I can't see to be able to finish watching it.
Also, do you use the 9000? Well, don't render at 1080p then, it's a waste of time.
Good though.

Nice. I think we could have seen more of Spider's face and more of a storyline running through (other than just big robot foot stomping) but it was well animated and some of the cinematography was very cool. 4/5
For some reason I can't view further than 28 seconds ? Anyway, te 28 seconds I saw were pretty cool.
Nice.
The animation was pretty good, but the song actually irritated me. It seemed strange.
Same here. It didn't sound like TMBG at all.
Thanks for all the critique guys!
I can't seem to be able to finish watching it.
Other people seem to be having the seem problem as well, so here is a download link: Clicky!

This was done mostly on purpose (for dramatic build-up).

We couldn't have much of a storyline in the amount of time we had (48 seconds to be exact). It was hard enough trying to make a simple storyline in that amount of time!

Download it, using the new link.

That's because it IS a strange song. 
It didn't sound like TMBG at all.
Really? Well it is TMBG, regardless of what the sound like. The song is from their Apollo 18 album.
Keep the critique coming guys!
I couldn't actually view it after that either, but YT has fixed the glitch. I found this film throughly entertaining, with good animation, and a really fun song. Nice to see something different, and always a pleasure to see something from you especially, BuilderBrothers. I still believe you should have come in the top 5 in AG.
This is definitely, your best movie!
Strange, smooth, and cool!
4.5 stars (So, 5 bricks)!
Sound: 7

The problem I had was that the build-up was great, but when we finally did get to see his face, it was hardly dramatic and a little too late. It felt like the audience was already meant to know what Spider looked like by the time we saw him. I was expecting some dramatic fast zoom.

Wow! That was cool! I figured out the plot (in spite of the song being so short; it must have been really hard to tell a story in short, little spurts like that). I do get what Hazzat is saying about a more dramatic unveiling of the face, although I would have never thought of it if he hadn't mentioned it. That was a lot of fun to watch. Great job! 
Very enjoyable! I can really see improvement in the animation. I agree that the song was a bit strange, but it was fine. I still really like the torso. The video seemed shorter than I expected. I can tell it took a lot of work though so that's why it's been in production for a while. Your work paid off!
great movie : 5/5
sounds : 6
effects : 8
animation : 9
