Nice trailer, it's gotten me even more exited for the film. mini/smile

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

You didn't tell me people were going to be saying smart things. Do I have to say smart things? Is it too late to back out?

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

Your non-American (US) accents would suffice, I think.

Wow, this is looking amazing! I'm really hyped for it. mini/bigsmile

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

I didn't know Picasso was a brickfilmer! mini/wink

Seriously though, this looks great. Really looking forward to it.

It'll be okay, Buxton. Just be yourself.
Heck, you have a TON of experience with this. After all, you're our unofficial 'media darling/ambassador.' mini/smile

Actually, this was all part of the master plan….to woo the female demographic into watching the documentary.

This looks really great.  I'm glad I could help with this in some small way, even if it was just contributing $20.  Can't wait to see it!

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

I'm very impressed with the lighting and overall cinematography. It looked like you were shooting with a Cinestyle picture style. The quote was very appropriate to this film.

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

Well, looking really nice. I will definitely look forward to watching it in its entirety. Glad I backed this.

One aspect of watching this that will be interesting is putting faces to names. I have no doubt I know every name in there, but I don't know who goes with what name! mini/bigsmile

Primarily shot in a non-cine color style on the Panasonic Gh4, actually! With a little stuff from the Sony A7S and whatever Tommy Williamson uses. I find the really flat styles aren't very helpful unless you're shooting an outdoor setting with a huge amount of dynamic range. There is a certain flatness to the color grading, though, I have become a big fan of the look of Philip Bloom's short films and I think I'm emulating that somewhat.

Identifying the Brickfilmers

The man at the beginning is Errol Elumir, a member from the olden days of Brickfilms.com.

Chris Boyer (slothpaladin) begins speaking around 0:19.

At 0:42 we see James Morr, aka KG / Spastikchuwawa, as Rachel Dew (Dewfilms) speaks.

At 0:59, that's Sean Willets (filmyguy) working on the Thor Vs. Zeus Epic Rap Battle video. Forrestfire101's shoulder makes a brief cameo on the right.

At 1:01 we see Tommy Williamson (Bricknerd Studios) overseeing James Morr and Kevin Ulrich (Brotherhood Workshop), filming footage for the official LEGO documentary Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary.

At 1:04 we're with Garrett Barati in his animation studio.

1:10, Jay Silver. 1:21 - the golem from his film The Gauntlet!

1:36 NXTManiac, aka Dylan Woodley.

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

If the documentary is half as good as the teaser is, then I'll be a happy camper!

The presentation here is just spectacular. I love that the quote was included at the beginning, as, it really tied everything together, aside from everyone having ties to brickfilming.

The documentary seems to be very introspective, looking in every detail, opinion, and experience of each interviewee, which is very nice. I'm glad this won't be just a look at peoples collections. It seems to be a much greater experience - going further into the minds of these creators, not just a look at their tools of the trade.

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

Along with Star Wars, this is my most anticipated film of 2015. mini/smile

Anyways, HOLY COW this was awesome. It's just so clean and professionally done, I honestly think it's going to make a substantial impact on the status and reputation of brickfilmers within the next couple years. Great job, really proud to have helped support this.

If you run your mouth long enough they find something that can put into a context that makes you sound interesting and deep, I mean I was just talking about some facebook meme image that I'm sure could have been put into a different context to sound banal and trite.

Re: Bricks in Motion Documentary Teaser Trailer

Finally, a chance to put faces to the names I've known for years. I cannot wait to see the final film.

I don't make Brickfilms. I trade virtual hats.
