			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well...I seemed to be sick a lot, like every time anything was happening with brick filming. Yay.
So what have I done this year that I consider worthwhile...
I made and released my LEGO Iron Man 3 Teaser Trailer which got over 342,000 views and was probably the biggest part in getting me to 480 subscribers in just over a year on YT. 
I finished the film Perpetual Twilight, which is probably what I'm most proud of, and won Contrast with it! 
I also did quite a bit of voice acting, which was lots of fun, I just need to get better at it now. 

All in all, I'd consider 2013 to be a productive year for me. 
Oh, and I made a Twitter.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I really liked the last year in regards to brickfilming.

My subscribers number is now over twice as high, I've released a whopping 15 videos. (Counting unlisted extras.)
Entered three animation challenges and won one of them, entered five contests, but don't know the results of three.
Hosted EASTER, finished STEAMPUNK, uploaded a channel trailer, and have finally got my animation smoothness where I want it. Created and maintained a Facebook page, and reached nearly 1,800 posts on BiM.
And all while being away at college for a quarter of the year.

Wow....Maybe I should go get a life or something. :o 
Still, it was all great fun, and I look forward to seeing what happens this year.]]></content>

Though, I don't think that I Am The Night will ever live up to the hype.  I feel like some people may have become a little too excited for it.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I've released 7 brickfilms this year... That's pretty good.

What is unfortunate is my inactivity on Bricks in Motion for weeks, but that's normal because I'm an administrator on another filmmaking community.

I really liked BRAWL and THAC, but I can't stand my short videos anymore. I need to get working on a big project now, something like [i]I Am The Night[/i].]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[ANOTHER POSITIVE THREAD, YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.

For me this has been a great year on so many levels, including animation-wise! I've finally rekindled my love for the art form and the wonderful people in the community. I've done something I've never done before and release 3 brickfilms in a month! I've also completed my first proper THAC and my 2nd BRAWL with two films I'm really proud of.

As far as others go, I've seen the blossoming of many brickfilmers such as Chris W, Walter Benson, Pushover, Funsucker, Jstuidos, and many more! As well as the continual progression of others, including those returning to the community.

I have high hopes for 2014 and I think we have many, many reasons to be hopeful for an even more talented community this time next year. Happy new year, guys!

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, 2013 was the year I was sitting my room one day in October when a thought popped into my head: "I want to return to brickfilming."

I only managed to release [i]Derricking Ball[/i] this year, but I have [i]Alex and Derrick: Five Years Later[/i] plus my delayed THAC film in the works, and I already have ideas for many new films.

So that's kind of a big deal for me.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[For me 2013 was outstanding brickfilm-wise. Although I didn't make too many films, I believe I've produced some of my best work in my opinion. I got a new camera new editing software, and also I've actually learned to analyze and break down movies rather than watch them at face-value. 

2013 wasn't the best though for me when it comes to my personal life. A lot of crap happened that's taught me a lot about life and the nature of people. I won't go into it for obvious reasons.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Wow, 2013 has been a big year for me, brickfilming-wise; it's the year I finally started!  I had been wanting to make films for several years, but for some reason I never got round to it till then.  I started out from having just joined this site and having next to no experience filming, to making and releasing two films.  I even got second place in the Contrast contest, which I suppose isn't bad for someone who's only ever made two films.  

Nevertheless, I had nowhere near the amount of time I wanted to dedicate to brickfilming.  I had been hoping to release at least one more film this year, but ever since [i]Monochrome[/i] I have barely had time to do a few animation tests, let alone a film, and I had been stuck in something of a creative rut for some time.  Plus, I'll be rather busy in the near future and probably have very little time to brickfilm over the coming months--though I'm really looking forward to the summer, in which I'll have loads of time to film.

However, things have been recently looking up for me--I've had several new ideas and have even started writing a script, something which will probably be my biggest film to date and certainly is radically different from anything I've ever attempted.  In fact, I'm confident enough to say that you can expect a casting call quite soon...ish.  

A big thanks is also due to the community here on Bricks in Motion, for being supportive and giving me feedback for my stuff.

So, in short, I'm ready and waiting for 2014!]]></content>

I have big plans for the coming year -I've made it one of my resolutions to release at least five five-minute films before 2015. 

Have a very happy new year!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Walter Benson]Also Squid, I suggest you don't wait to long in starting back up on brickfilming. It took me roughly 5 months after the last THAC until I started animating anything. It was like I fell into this brickfilming slump or something. I'm worried that'll happen again this new year unless I do something [i]soon[/i]! :o[/quote]

For 2013 I made my first and only new year's resolution ever to animate at least once every month, even if it was just a test.  Since doing this practice, I've stayed relatively in the spirit even in the year where I didn't make as much as I should have.

I want to start Leprechauns in France right away, but I need Onion's lines.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[For me, 2013 was the most uneventful year for brickfilming. My old camera got messed up many times, computer didn'nt work (still doesn't) and no real motivation or spark happened for me to make a film. However, 2014 should hopefully change that, as over the holidays I've written two WIP scripts, and hopefully I can start animation when I get a new program and get used to my current camera. Fingers crossed]]></content>
