Im sure this is endorsed by Lego, but still considered "Hollywood." If this film does good, then there may possibly be more Lego films in the future. (Serriously though, I'm excited for this movie :D )]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The very idea of animating with Lego people is a novelty at best so no matter how amazingly innovative your film is people will be like "hey let's go see the lego movie" instead of taking it seriously (or not seriously, depends on what the film is about.)
However brickfilming is one of the easiest options for those who have a limited budget, and I'd like to think that it gives a lot of practice directing because you have control over EVERYTHING. So in that way the skills you learn while brickfilming can translate over to like pro stuff but the film environment nowadays is such that a brickfilm won't get much farther than Youtube in the real world.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think that it will ever become a practical at all. I'm not saying that brickfilms are bad, they're the best thing that has ever happened to this world :D. I just think that it is just a hobby to create comedic animations, not a medium to make big production films. At least I hope it will stay that way. If brickfilming joins the mainstream Hollywood type film mediums, than many brickfilmers who do it as a hobby will probably stop, and Lego may raise their prices. It's a past time, not an expensive Hollywood medium!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Max Butcher, I feel like those are the most prominent examples of brickfilms that qualify as Art with a capital A. Some of your films, actually, are definitely on par with the examples you provided. Of course the technical execution doesn't compare, but the vision behind both are on the same level.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is a legitimate art and it is practical.  Here's something I wrote to the rest of the cast of "Holding Our Own" while episode 1 was in post-production:

[quote]It's pretty amazing that with technology today, all of use [sic] can record our parts even though we're separated by a great distance and make a single production out of it without actually meeting.  When you think about trying to do that 20 years ago, I'd still be downloading files or waiting at the post office for tapes to arrive.  Imagine what it would have been like doing this in 1990, and how much more difficult it would be.[/quote]

In addition to that, imagine having to do the animation with a hand-held or really expensive camera, and using a VHS master tape?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Max Butcher][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q27BfBkRHbs]This[/url] and 8-Bit Trip are the closest this medium will ever come to being legitimate art.[/quote]

What do you define as "legitimate" art (or "illegitimate" art for that matter, since if you define "legitimate" there must logically be some sort of opposite to set it apart from)?  The number of "mainstream" people it reaches after its unveiling?  According to that measure, modern "artists" who are highly controversial, such as, say, Tracy Emin or the guy (I can't remember his name) who took a glass of water and tried to claim it was an "oak tree" would be revered, and people like Vincent Van Gogh (who only ever sold one of his paintings in his entire lifetime) would be considered mere amateurs.

While there are many, many mediocre brickfilms out there, there are quite a few which I actually think are on par with and even better than some big-budget live-action films I've seen.  Just because something was made in someone's spare time using plastic figurines and building bricks doesn't instantly disqualify it from being considered artistic.  Granted, I think it would still be a stretch to claim brickfilms can be on par with other artistic mediums, but I think it's rather snobbish to say that this medium will never have the potential to become art.]]></description>

I hardily disagree with this statement. Brick Animations are most definitely a "legitimate art".]]></description>

I really doubt stop-motion is dying. Last year in 2012, we saw three successful stop-motions, ParaNorman, Frankenweenie and The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!. Although these films have more advanced 3d effecst, I can see stop-motion in the media to grow. As for CGi Lego, I agree.]]></description>

I don't think it is dying at all, the medium seems to just be moving away from big studio productions and more towards independent efforts. Most big studios don't really see any value in producing an expensive, feature length stop motion film when they could just animate it in 2D or CGI. So I wouldn't say it is slowly dying, I'd say that it is becoming more mainstream, due to the many great independent efforts on the internet.]]></description>
