The Find

Youtube

My first attempt at a brickfilm. Some lego astonauts do an interesting find which turns out to be quite a disaster...


So I decided to take a shot at brickfilming and put them classic space bricks to work.
After starting, I realized that the script I had written was somewhat ambitious...
Just to get ahead of some of the problems:
- Lots of light flicker. Yes, working on that... black background and direct lighting are probably not such a good idea.
- Lots of set bumps. Yes, I have wooden floors, so need to mount my camera on a tripod connected to the set, not on the floor.
- Voice acting, well, I hadn't anticipated on needing voices, so I did everything myself. Hate hearing my own voice.
If you see room for improvement, please let me know!

Re: The Find

That's your first brickfilm?!
Wow. I'm impressed.
The animation wasn't perfect, but quite decent. Voices and sound were properly done and visual effects as well.
I didn't notice light flicker and set bumps when watching, and I don't hate hearing your voice. Due to the fact the guys were speaking through their helmets or radio, it wasn't a problem it was always more or less the same voice.
Oh and I love these old Space themed Lego sets. I've got a couple of them, too mini/smile
And I subscribed to your YT-channel.

Thanks!

A lot of scenes were a lot shorter than intended due to unintentional tripod kick :lol:
And on my computer i see a lot of 'set dither'. But now i look at the end result, you hardly notice it.

About the space guys: there's LOTS more where these guys came from :lol:

Re: The Find

Give yourself a little credit - you did a nice job.
It looks like you've already identified areas for improvement with animation, light flicker, and set bumps. If you're looking for voice actors in the future, try posting a casting call in the audio section. I look forward to seeing more from you.
