[spoiler]That part where the yellow robot gets dismantled is pretty sad. Which is good! The build up before it made the event work.[/spoiler]

The robots earned my sympathy and I was drawn in for the whole thing. Very good short film :-)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I didn't realize this was so unknown, I believe I found it when it was still new and I was still digging through YouTube to find every good brickfilm and brickfilmer I could. The idea of a brickfilm without minifigs was pretty new to me, and certainly broadened my ideas about what is possible in the medium. I"m yet to make one, but I still plan on making a brickfilm without minifigs eventually. The animation in [i]VIRUS[/i] isn't always perfect, but it's certainly good enough to reinvigorate my desire to try some more creative animation.]]></content>

Set design, character design, character movements - all top notch.

I especially appreciate the departure from the traditional minifig based animations that currently dominate the landscape.]]></content>

[i]VIRUS[/i] is a unique brickfilm focusing on brick-built robot characters who live inside a computer. It was made in 2011 and has remained little-known within the brickfilm community.

[b][u]SPOILERY DISCUSSION BELOW![/u][/b]

I discovered this film recently, although it appears a handful of other people from the community had seen it back in 2011 when it was originally posted online. The use of live action and framing the LEGO-built world within the inside world of a computer was a neat idea to me, and one of those rare instances where the medium suits the story well.

Thoughts on the film? Have you ever tried to make a brickfilm without minifigs?]]></content>
