Director's Comments

The first part of an ongoing series. Smith Nelson is a fictional character created by my brother and his friends, part of a larger fictional universe. The narration is not my own creation either. This film is an in-universe documentary about his childhood.
The image quality is poor, but I can't do any better right now, and I also have to use Windows Live Movie Maker. I've overcome the light flicker issue since, at least with one of the webcams.
This is a bit of a hectic time for me, so I'm trying to make this film as quickly as possible, which accounts for the bare sets and generally limited scope.
This is also my first proper brickfilm.
Background music is "Port Foozle" from Zork Grand Inquisitor.
