I finally 'finished' this short brickfilm. It's far from perfect and I was going to reshoot some scenes with obvious mistakes, but too many things were keeping me from doing that, so I'll just leave it as it is.
This is my first ever brickfilm and I'm reasonably happy with it, despite the mistakes (I can make up a(n) (legitimate) excuse for most of them. 
)
hahaha! 
I thought it was very good for a first! 
I even laughed! So that's a good thing!

This is your FIRST brickfilm?! the walk cycle was incredible for a beginner, let alone the amazingly smooth animation. the voices were very audible, and the lighting was very good. are you sure your not lying?

Lol I swear I'm not lying. Before I started I read loads of posts and some tutorials. It's all in the preparation.
Thanks for the compliments. 
wow!... I wish my first brick films were that good. I agree the walk cycle was superb for a beginner.
your first film? that was better than most films out now!
Haha, nice. Better than my first brickfilm.
Thanks for the nice comments. Currently working on another brickfilm, I got too many ideas and too much time.
That WAS really good for a beginner! The lighting was great! No light flicker! And the animation was pretty good.
Really good!
Very well done for your first brickfilm. A couple of tips:
1) Work on your lighting a bit more. At the moment it is a little over-exposed in some areas.
2) Your framing/camera work wasn't bad, but maybe try some closer shots. At the moment we can see beyond the set as well.
3) Play around with backdrops. Just print off a picture, place it behind the window, and light it. You'd be surprised at how good they can look.
Keep it up! The more you practice, the more you'll improve.

that actually works? I thought it's best if you paint them!
Not really, I tried to do a backdrop picure of a planet for my THAC 6 entry, and I thought it looked very realistic

Thanks for the tips, I'll deffinatly try the backdrops.
The building was indeed too low, I noticed that a bit late and I was too lazy to reshoot the scenes.
yeah, I was about to comment on the set design. but you beat me to it.
