Director's Comments

Follow Ricky, a simple, curious minifigure, on his unpredictable journey!

This brickfilm represents over five months of work. I wanted to keep it light as far as special effects go, which pushed me to do as much in-camera as possible.

I was going for a silent film sort of feel here. I've always been a fan of how the voices were done in the earlier LEGO TT Games and I wanted to recreate that to a degree. As such, this brickfilm uses a lot of Kevin MacLeod's awesome loyalty-free musical work to compliment the silent film feel.

It is not perfect, and few brickfilms are. But, personally, it is my best LEGO animation to date. I hope you enjoy it!


NOTE: Some things I am already aware of:
- Notable camera shake in multiple scenes
- A bit of light flickering here and there
- Some lost audio samples in some of the voiceovers
- Post-credit voice line was somehow glitched during rendering
- And other stuff that I forgot

(Constructive) criticism is more than welcome, of course!


Now that I have completed this brickfilm, I plan on taking a break from LEGO stop-motion animation and try something new; clay-mation!
