Thats the reason I added it, I was sick of either being limited with the camera angles I could use or having to make unrealistically high walls in which just look out of proportion, although ever shot with the ceiling takes about 1 hour ever second to film (at 15 FPS).]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[One of the things that put me off slightly about this sequence was that when it cuts to a side view of the fig, it feels too far back... The hallway in the first shot is established to be fairly narrow but the side shot makes it feel wider. I'd suggest either pulling the camera in closer for the side shot, or simply scaling up the footage in post.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The lighting for the hallway is quite good as said by Sean and many others. The cinematography was good, I like the camera angle :). You do need to work on your animation, I think that your walking animation has just a tinch too much hand movement, if I were you I'd tone that down just a little bit. The animation was a tinch choppy, I think the animation is average, above average at most. I really liked the fact that you tried to animate something that was hard to animate. I do know how hard it is to animate something that inclosed. If you were to actually put something like this as apart of a film I'd definitely reshoot it if it had a camera bump. I salute you, good work!]]></content>

Listen to Sean, the man is wise.

I love the cinematography in this shot. The camera angles and lighting enhance the dramatic feel (Although it seems to me like it could have benefited from a Hitchcock zoom; maybe it's just me). The animation was pretty good, that the minifigure looked a bit choppy when walking sometimes. Also, the camera seemed to go in and out of focus often (I don't know if this was intentional though). Overall, I like this test and look to be seeing more from you in the future.]]></content>

^ This. I absolutely agree with Sean. 

For the actual animation, did you remove the ceiling each frame to animate the minifigure? It must have been tedious, getting your hands in such a small area (even with the ceiling removed). But then again, brickfilming is a tedious hobby.]]></content>
