Same here.

Apart from one or two lines, most of my films don't have a whole lot of talking and focus more on visuals to get the point across.  I'm like you, long scripts bore me, and sometimes I can keep the idea of a 1 minute-long film in my head and animate it without putting pencil to paper.

However, I do see the benefit of writing a basic outline for a brickfilm, so you have a vague idea of what you're doing.

As far as my animation style, I try to learn a thing or two from people like MindGame, keeping my animation smooth yet as realistic as I can with plastic minifigs.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[For my series "Ben and Eric" I often have a little mix between lifelike and cartoony animation. The story line can go from completely hilarious to very serious and exciting. But editing always screws it up...
I always plant story arcs in the background that stays on like a mystery for a very log time like 10 months.
Olol I always plan to much ahead]]></content>

I try to animate my stuff as realistically as I can. Working at 20FPS can be quite challenging sometimes, particularly during fight scenes, but it looks brilliant if you get the timing right.]]></content>

Nope.
I think my brickfilms have been relatively successful, and though I have a plot, I have no script.

My style is "Squidy" and that's about half preplanned, but unscripted stuff, and lots of improv with a lot of weird and cool stuff. :)]]></content>
