It seemes like a rather stupid idea to build a movie around, in my opinion. And, my first, most important idea, I forgot. That's why in my previous statement I didn't say it. I was distracted with my Rubix cube while writing my post, and I completely lost my 'train of thought'.

Some people may think that I'm just saying that to cover up that I don't really have a reason, but I'm dead serious: I did have a good reason. It'll come back in a day or so, and I'll post it then.

Edit: One smaller reason, but not the one I was thinking of: it seems a bit odd/risky/just-plain-wierd to revolve an entire movie around one saying. If someone really liked the saying, they would have to hate the entire movie because it makes fun of the saying.

Cool little flick. Fun stuff, short, and to the point.

Excellent animation and film, but, it is to over-used in brickfilms.

Night Owl said what I was trying to say in post #22.

One of the things I enjoy about brickfilming is that the animation process is easy enough that you can do just that. You have a thought, you dig out a bunch of minifigs, you make a quick movie. It's like the Twitter of filmmaking. Sometimes you have a story to tell or a point to make, but it's just as valid to say "hey, isn't it funny how people say that thing."

As far as the film goes, I think the writing could have been tightened up a little to make it more punchy, and it's shot quite flatly - four people in a line talking, and the rest of the crowd mostly stock still except in a couple of shots. But this is over-analysing for a throwaway one minute short. I liked it overall.

And here's a plot hole for you: The bird flies right to left and out of shot as the guy points out that it's actually a bird. So what is it that poops on his jacket after the credits?

Flying cows. Fear them.

Stop Bumping Threads. This thread is over a month old. You can still watch the videos, but don't post. Just keep that in mind.
