A further question to this.  Basically, I have an idea for a shot in which a character gets fatally shot and we see blood splash.  We wouldn't really see the actual character getting shot as such, just the blood splashing onto a surface.  Would that still be acceptable, or already beyond the pale?  I can work around it if necessary, (and I'm not even sure I can pull it off convincingly to begin with), so it's not absolutely vital, but I'd like to know all the same.

Also, do bricks connected to the baseplate/floor count towards the colour mod?  I remember in the past this wasn't allowed, but the current rules don't specify anything in this regard.[/quote]
That sounds like a tasteful use of blood, I'd allow it.

Baseplates do count as a MOD element this year as there are no rules prohibiting it.

[quote=Squid]Might a LEGO clock face count a the letter why?  The way it is printed, the hands line up to form a shape like that of a Y.

Here's an old picture of one I took in case you want to look at it: [url]https://flic.kr/p/noxdyt[/url]

[quote=Theme & MOD Elements]• The letter MOD element may exist on a printed LEGO piece, [u]but it must clearly be that letter[/u]. An eyebrow or wrinkle on a minifig’s face, or a fold in the shirt on the minifig's torso are not letters.[/quote]
The clock would not work as a letter MOD element.

I'm planning to use a clock in a scene and that may generally make it more convenient.  If not. however, I may still get by without it.]]></content>

With that in mind, films can contain a small amount of blood and gore if it's used in a tasteful context. It may not be excessive. It's difficult to give a definitive definition of what excessive is since it's very subjective.

An example of excessive violence would be a film [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smETLCCPTVo]like this[/url]. Where a tasteful use of LEGO blood might be a crime scene aftermath where there are a couple small pools of blood.[/quote]

It would be considered graphic, but I'll point out a word that's very important in the rules.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[For some reason I thought BRAWL was [i]starting[/i] on the 26th, not ending. :/  Rather awkward, as I only just realised that it's a week earlier than I thought.

Still, I'm tempted to enter.  I'm in the midst of doing a bunch of other stuff, though, so my time might be considerably more limited that last year.

Anyway, I have a question: would using transparent red pieces as brick-built blood spatters be considered to be "graphic violence", or would I be in the clear if I did that?  I'm not necessarily intending to actually try this out, but I'm curious to know just in case.]]></content>
