Around the House In 2080 Frames
My entry to SeptemberFest entry. Three minifigs go on an adventure around my house to turn the volume back on! If you like goldfish and can look past the technical issues with the film you will like it a lot!
It's pretty cool. But... there is words on the computer. I don't know if you will be disqualified for this.
Is that you eddie in the orange shirt?
Cause you look like you're 10.
No wonder you post so much. 
I'm 13!!! God everyone says that! You don't think I'll be DQed do you?
The words on the computer were not part of the story, so I would hope not.
Your animation was pretty choppy and it's impossible to control the lighting when you film all over the house like that, but I did enjoy the story and look forward to seeing more from you in the future. 
Don't worry about looking younger than you are. I hated it too when I was your age, but I love it now!

The words 'Mute button' on the map were. It's up to Sean, but I think that breaks the rule.

This was okay, but I really didn't like the whole concept. I have seen too many films where the minifigures are driving, flying, or walking around a house. And there were a lot of flaws, like you could have turned the TV off, or avoided the goldfish. but then again, you obviously put an effort into this, so I'm not going to kill your pride.
Sean!!! If you see this I tried my best not to show text around the house but I don't want to be DQed!!!! I was already DQed on the last one!
Words are fine as long as they're not part of the story, so your text around the house doesn't matter.
What about the map?
As the story is set in the house, I think the changing light is ok. If you don't have to many clouds that day it will stay ok. Nevertheless the camera moved sometimes. Did you use a tripod and used some kind of remote controll? I liked the fish, the tv and the clock. Thats really funny. You could have animated more. Those cars are only driving around. Some close shots (perhaps following the car with the camera) would be nice.
Ok. I tried to mix it up, like the stabbing, shooting, and flying scenes. I used a busted tripod. It worked well most of the time, but filming around the house is hard so the camera moved due to hazards(dogs, parents, etc.) Do you think I will be DQed because of the map?
I'd put you on the line if I was Sean, but it's up to him.
Crap really?!?!?!? I put some much work into that!! Sean, if you see this, please don't DQ me!!
The problem for me was that this wasn't really entertaining. I watched a car drive around for four minutes, and the ending didn't justify my view. Sorry. Keep practicing, you'll get better.
Ok. I tried! Thanks!
That was pretty good. The light flicker was distracting, but I won't give you too much grief about it, because the windows were open and such, and you needed the windows open. The only thing I have to say is that the amount of camera bumps was very distracting, and the ending was meh. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't exelent either. But you are sorta new to this, and this was much better than my my earlier ones.
