"I'm counting on it."
A shot-for-shot remake of a memorable scene from "Batman: The Dark Knight".
For those, who don't remember the scene: the original.
I made this to try out and improve in several sections, as for example: animation, lighting, and - mouth animation.

That was pretty sweet. I thought that the use of GlueFace was good, but there could have been more movement. The lighting was very good too. I'd rate the film 8.756/10!
That was very nice. The mouth animation was good, only thing is it looked like they were grunting every time they talked, very well synced, I say you did a very good job. 
Thanks,
Jordan
Uhm- I didn't use GlueFace. In fact, I wanted to... but my PC has some serious problems and wouldn't use Java. So I downloaded the phonemes from Bricktrick and edited them manually in Photoshop, frame by frame.
But thanks a lot, guys. Glad you like it
I'm actually a bit suprised about how it came out on YouTube... the animation is usually 15 fps, but it looks like 5 here. 
Quality is bad, too. But well - never mind.

Pretty good, though it looked slightly odd that they only talked through one side of their mouth, but the syncing was good. Also there were a couple of moments where it got a bit too dark, such as when Batman jumps down after Maroni, making it hard to tell what was going on if you didn't know the original scene (but then again, who doesn't by now 
).
I thought it was very good, but sometimes the mouths looked too bright compared to the rest.
hey, was that batman torso a decal?

Jepp, it was. You can see every decal I made in this Brickshelf-Gallery. And, thanks guys, for your responses. Of course I would like some more 
I know it's been quite a while- but I now managed to upload a High-Definition version of this clip. I also improved in compression, so the animation is much smoother. Enjoy.

Very impressive on the mouth animation. Kinda dark. Overall very entertaining and a very well planned video. Keep up the work.
I am not particularly happy about the mouth animation because I like classic legos with no mouth movement but you can't please everyone. The Dark Knight being my favorite movie though this certainly sparked me into wanting to see it for the 15th time.

It's okay to bump if you have something to contribute. This counts.

All right. I'm just thinking to myself that it seems somewhat pointless if the topic has been dead for years.
I apologize.
Pretty nice, but only speaking.
Sorry.
