			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I liked it!

I do have to agree that with the overall flicker consensus, though.   Also, I found that sometimes the sound effects drowned out the narrator's voice (particularly in the "King with machine guns" scene). :|  

Aside from that, though, it was very funny and silly (in a good way :P ).   The whole "fencing" interpretation was hilarious, I loved the voices (particularly Isaac the Clown's), as well as the Referee Ninjas and the enjoyable randomness, and stuff like your I Am The Night Joker's maniacal laugh.  Special effects (love the lighting in the War scenes) and set design were very well done and added a lot to the film.

I found the ending a little rushed, but overall this film is great. :)   Keep up the good work!

On a side note, why do so many of the clowns look like skeletons,

[spoiler]and who is the white minifig who suddenly appears for a few frames on the left during the "night-time cottage" scene?[/spoiler]?]]></content>

I probably should have just turned down the other sounds, But I really wanted to get away with as much sound as I could for the war because I really, really liked how that turned out sounding.]]></content>

Yeah, I was afraid people might miss a few lines with Sonjira's odd (but wonderful) voice style with noises playing simultaneously, and the accents I decided to use.[/quote]

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Repelling Spider]I really loved that shot of the king shooting those guns... so cool! Wish there was more of that. Also, I was intrigued by the shots of the fiery clown and shark war scenes at the very end. That's something else I wish there were more of. The lighting was so dramatic and captivating. [/quote]

I'm really happy with how the apocalyptic wars shots turned out. Shortly after scripting I decided I would make a shot like that, and so I built the set for it. I was really excited to have all of that really cool lighting and see how well it would turn out. it took a really long time to animate that shot, but even though I brought Wilson in to move the flames behind the clown whilst I managed the clown and the flames in front of him, it still took a very long time. Making custom flares in post as took even longer.

Though I thought it was really cool, and I'm sure we all want to see more of that, this film isn't really about that war, it's about Gregory and Isaac. But I really like adding seriously cool little scene to be mixed up in that, and have such a wide range of stuff in such a little film.

I took some behind the scenes pictures if the shot:

I also shined a torch through the rock to cast some light on his face, and another to add a bit of light to the forward flames.

The ninja shot was far less complex in animation, but I really like how it went. I took the pit of fire, set is on its side, and shined some light through it near the back of the set. I shined a less bright light through the rock off screen to the left, then put one of my lamps very close to the wall and shining at it to give a very soft light to the set.

I have been considering making a spin-off of this story, unfortunately, I have a very limited supply of sharks and clowns, and only one shark head, but I could make it be about something else in Riigo-Faloo]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[That was pretty good man.  You got loads of potential.  My only real problem with the film was the light flicker, which unfortunately was very distracting.  However, the story, the visuals, the animation, and the overall execution of the movie definitely make up for it.  Great work!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Time to chime in! Harrison, this is a great film! You captured the fairy tale feel, gave us a unique story, and made me want to watch this again. Oh, did I mention the animation was stellar? I couldn't care less about the light flicker; everything else about this film outweighed it. I especially enjoyed Isaac the Clown's (or should I say Brandon's?) voice acting.

I really loved that shot of the king shooting those guns... so cool! Wish there was more of that. Also, I was intrigued by the shots of the fiery clown and shark war scenes at the very end. That's something else I wish there were more of. The lighting was so dramatic and captivating. 

The only part that could use some improvement was the narration, mainly because there were some points where I couldn't quite understand what the narrator was saying. Aside from those moments, the narration was good. 

Overall a wonderful brickfilm that went straight into my favorite's list (your videos are well acquainted with it). I give it 5/5 because I enjoyed it so much. 

P.S. Some great and memorable quotes were made in this film. I find myself quoting your films sometimes. Like, "I'd like to make a withdrawal please." (said in the character's voice of course)]]></content>
