			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Looking back and pondering on this film while currently working made me realize that there's another element to this film which was not covered. Kind of a directory commentary of sorts. 

When the "Celebration" contest was first announced, I knew right away what I wanted to accomplish…this film. 
When the contest was first announced, my mom was visiting me from out of state for a few months (she had never visited California before, so I gave her a 'grand tour' so to speak). Time was quickly running out for me, but I didn't want to be disrespectful to my mom, I wanted her to have fun and enjoy herself. It was actually my daughter who sat down and told my mom about this contest, so mom encouraged me to get this done…even though there was only two days until the deadline! 
The day before filming was going out and getting the C920, since I could not get the QC9k to work properly with iStopmotion at the time. Rushed home, did some camera tests and it worked perfectly. I literally made this film in 24 hours…building, voice acting, animation, editing, etc. Granted, there are a few things that I would have liked to have done differently if I had more time. But overall, I'm really happy with this film and how it comes across to the audience. 

[i]If[/i] I were to do a redux of this film, I'd like to film it in the style of one of one of Swoozie's films but in brickfilm form. Sigfig of myself talking to the camera with cuts of animated flashbacks. Something to 'compliment' what doesn't completely come across in "At the Party."]]></content>

Yes. All of the voices were done by me with a Mac and a headset microphone.

Please read the following [i]after[/i] watching the film...
[spoiler]This film is based on a true story.
The film takes place back in 2004, not too long after the "High Adventure Theater" contest.
I was pretty excited about my new brickfilming hobby at the time.
Not to long afterwords, I was invited to a tupperware party ['store-it-fast' in the film ;) ].
At the start of this party, the hostess asked us each to say our name and our hobbies.
Yes, the hostess [i]really[/i] did collect tupperware, by the way.
While going around the room, pretty much everyone had a hobby that everyone could relate to in some way.
Knitting, sewing, crochet, scrapbooking, stamping, gardening, even collecting old stamps.
When it was my turn, needless to say, I was pretty eager to share.
Unfortunately, after I did share, there was this awkward pause and everyone in the room had this blank stare.
Needless to say, I was pretty embarrassed at the time.

It wasn't until years later that I realized how funny this whole situation was.
Not to mention, that it would make a great film.

So…here we are…the story behind the film.[/spoiler]

Enjoy! :)]]></content>
