			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=LASF][quote=GHB Productions]Dude, do you use a webcam? If not, you should. You might've heard that a lot of people on youtube say that most youtube brickfilmers suck? That's true in a way, because they all use digital still cameras. Not the best for stop motion. Is that what you use?(Digital Still)[/quote]

So, you think all brickfilmers with digital cameras suck? :/ Why would a digital camera make someone suck? If it bumps, just get a tripod or make a rig. Also, I disagree with "they're not best for stop motion." There are some pretty sick non-webcam cameras out there (ie: DSLRs).[/quote]

When he says Digital Still cameras, he is probably talking about [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Point-Shoot-Cameras/ci/8612/N/4288586279]Point & Shoot Cameras[/url]. Cameras that are designed for taking one photo at a time, and as a result usually only have auto focus. While there are some exceptions to this, most Point & Shoots don't allow control over the Focus and White Balance, which are two of the essential features a camera need to be useful in stop motion. Webcams are the camera of choice for many brickfilmers because they are cheap, and offer a wealth of control over settings such as focus, exposure, and lighting. 

Now as for the film, I have to agree with Mickey that the set wasn't the best. My advice to you would be that if you do not have enough color brick to make a wall, you can use two colors, but use them smartly. You could have one color per layer (ex: One layer is blue, the next is grey). And in order to further help your sets, I would recommend adding some extra background details. In your case, you might have some extra sets of gym equipment, and possibly some other people exercising in the background.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hmm, lots of light flicker. It was easy to see the un-bricked part. :P No offense, but the set was poorly (and a bit lazily) designed. Just a few multi-colored bricks with the word GYM, typed in a weird font, on it isn't very interesting.

IMO, this is a[b] 1.8/5[/b]]]></content>
