Happy 4th of July!
Yes, I know, it's crazy, one release after another, but I really wanted to make a Fourth of July film. Since started the project on the third, it's not my greatest, so don't expect much. A big thanks to AnnoyingNoisesProductions for being an amazing voice actor.

Awesome. It probably would've been better to get it out on the 4th of July but whatever. Nobody REALLY cares that much. Keep up the good work 
I LOVED THIS!!! 
I'm really glad I got to participate in this.
First off, great animation as usual, but what I really love in this film was the night sky. It looks sooooo nice with all those bright stars and that blue purple color to it. It really looks super nice. Was that accomplished with blue/green screen? I also really liked the colored lights you seemed to have shined on the minifigures really giving them the look as though they're watching fireworks. Plus the LEGO trees in the background look really good. Bubble effects were also done nicely. However, there are a few better bubble things besides those short sticks. I think a wrench or a magnifying glass could have worked somewhat better. Also, my voice didn't really fit with the minifigure too well, it probably would have been a tiny bit better as a classic smile face, or a more modern smiley. But it's still a good film.
The live action fireworks and choice of music worked nicely for the credits.
And I'm really glad I was in this and you gave links to my channel. I already have five new subscribers today.
I was slightly disappointed that you where unable to get this out on the 4th, but it's okay.
Because I got up at 3 AM to record lines for this, and stayed up rather late anticipating it's release, I was really tired today. xD But I just had I nice long nap. Haha

It's a nice little brickfilm! There's not much to say about it because everything was done well and I couldn't really say a single bad thing about the vid! Great job!
I loved the lighting setup in the first scene, with the backdrop and firework flashes. Very nice stuff. The sound editing was effective as well.

I was actually gonna have a different voice actor that would fit that minifig, but at the last minute, he ended up not being able to do it, so I asked you. I would've changed it, but the animation was already done, and I didn't have enough time to re-animate
For everyone curious about the sky, here's a picture of my setup:
I attached a second monitor and pulled up an image of a nighttime sky
THAT'S SO BRILLIANT!!!
Seriously, it's realistic looking, and it ads a nice glow, perfect!
Oooh, that's very clever. Btw, I loved it.
So that's why you were setting up a second monitor (We were skyping when he did it). You sir, just won some internet.
That was a great way to do it quickly, and you did it well. Good job!
Sorry, this is off topic, but did that the guy AnnoyingNoisesProductions voiced for was saying the fireworks make annoying noises? Just saying, anyway the film was great!
