The STAR Trailer Contest has begun. The deadline is July 19th, so if you're entering the STAR Animation Contest, check it out!

Bricks In Motion T-Shirts are now available in the BiM Store! If you want one, we recommend ordering during the preordering period to ensure you get your preferred color and size. Preorders end June 10.

The BiM Film Directory is now open! See this thread for some basic info on using the new directory.

I would like to thank Chris Boyer (SlothPaladin) for the immense amount of work he has put into programming this directory over the last few months. It was a big commitment for him to spend his free time programming this site after working on other site programming during the workday. Completing the directory in a timely manner and with good results would not have been possible without him.

The beta testing team was also invaluable in testing the directory, providing feedback, and submitting their films as testing grounds for the directory.

We would also like to recognize Jonathan Schlaepfer for his contributions and feedback. He laid much of the groundwork for the submission form and several other elements of the directory.

The votes are in, and the results for the TEC Contest have been announced! Congratulations to 1st Place winner Yanzl and 2nd Place winner Timfee. Go to the forums to see a full listing.

The Bricks In Motion 2009 Contest has been announced. Visit the Events page or the Contests forum for more information.

When Philip (Sméagol) took over BricksInMotion.com I volunteered to build the new directory. I have been hard at work for the last two weeks and we would like to show you a screen cast of the submission form.

At this point the two things that need to be finished before we can launch the directory are the view film page and the review panel system, the submission form was one of the biggest tasks and we hope to have the directory up very soon.

After some delays in the completion of the site, the directory is now under construction, and we are working on a new resources section. Visit this thread for updates as development progresses.

The results for the 6th Twenty-four Hour Animation Competition have been announced! Visit the results thread for a full listing of the winners and links to view the films.

Hello and welcome to Bricks in Motion! We're still settling into our new home here so bear with us as we build our momentum! Now I know the front page, films page, and resources page look a little... well... lackluster, but there is a reason! For one, we don't have any reviewers yet, so we can't go about adding films until we get us some of those. And two, we don't have any content for the resources page yet. But that's okay, things will be opening up rapidly! If you're interested in reviewing films for us, please visit this thread for more information. If you're interested in helping out with the resources page, please visit this thread. If you're interested in submitting your films to our directory we ask that you please be patient for a few days more while reviewers are selected and trained for their position.

Thanks and welcome everyone!
