Dracula
Firstly, this is just a trailer and I'M NOT MAKING the whole film, that would take forever. This film was made as the practical part of my Unit 3+4 VCE Media course, which is part of my upper-high-school studies. I wanted to do an animation since they're my speciality (of course) and I knew I wanted to do something dark and gothic. I decided to make a film adaption of a piece of gothic fiction literature, and since Frankenstein had already been done in LEGO I decided to do Dracula, which is another very famous gothic horror novel. I knew from the beginning that it would be nigh on impossible to condense the plot of Dracula into a few minutes, so I decided to make a trailer instead. It was filmed in about a month, but the buying of bricks and pre-planning happened for months before that. Since I finished in a rush I'm not too happy about the music in some parts, but it'll do. The film was shot with a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and Stop Motion Pro, and edited with Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS3.
I'm actually kind of surprised, there were two live action films which were polished and made really well, and I thought one of them might win it.
the castle turrets.
