Le Mime
A short act given by a mime in a french eat-and-watch theater/restaurant. No dialog except for an introduction from the French owner.
Animated in 15fps and my best project yet. It was shortened to one act because of time issues.
that was wonderful! though, the animation was clunky at some parts, but the sounds and effects were great very well done, i'm glad to see it finally come out.
I really enjoyed that DerTarchin. I was surprised because normally I get bored after watching an animation with no real story, but I still liked this quite a bit. I would say your work has payed off. :-)
Pretty good. I liked the camera focuses the best!
That indeed displayed a great deal of effort. Some animated parts were excellent, while others were sub-par. The image quality was fine throughout, and the lighting served the environment nicely. My complaint, and it's key, is that I couldn't understand what the Mime was doing, as the frequent crowd clapping gave clues that were either misleading or completely confusing. It took me until over halfway of the way through the film to figure out what exactly was going on.
Awesome!
Some set bumps, and a little bit of light flickering, but I still love it! 
Funny. There were a few light flickers and parts with jumpy animation, but overall, it's great! Did I see Harry Potter in the audience?

Thanks! Nice to hear!

yeah, that was a problem I foresaw. You realize that even in real life, understanding what a mime is doing is hard unless they're really good, so a lego version was an extreme challenge.
That's why in the description I said for those who didn't understand the first time to view it another time. It's hard to understand and I thought putting sound effects would ruin it's authenticity.

yeah, Harry Potter, my sig fig Tim, and Obi-Wan Kenobi
