One of the things I enjoy about brickfilming is that the animation process is easy enough that you can do just that. You have a thought, you dig out a bunch of minifigs, you make a quick movie. It's like the Twitter of filmmaking. Sometimes you have a story to tell or a point to make, but it's just as valid to say "hey, isn't it funny how people say that thing."

As far as the film goes, I think the writing could have been tightened up a little to make it more punchy, and it's shot quite flatly - four people in a line talking, and the rest of the crowd mostly stock still except in a couple of shots. But this is over-analysing for a throwaway one minute short. I liked it overall.

And here's a plot hole for you: The bird flies right to left and out of shot as the guy points out that it's actually a bird. So what is it that poops on his jacket after the credits?]]></content>

Exactly what is too over-used in brickfilms? Animation? Cause I agree with that one. Animation is way too overused. Each shot should just be a still frame. Much faster to make 'em that way. Or were you talking about film? Cause that's overused in brickfilms as well. We should just call 'em bricks. Forget film. I'm gonna make me some bricks.

And BG - what on earth? How can a one-minute film have a plot hole? I mean, it doesn't even really have a plot. It's just one dude talking.
