			<description><![CDATA[Thanks, guys!

[quote=Kieren Barnett]I am  wondering, what lighting setup did you use for the opening scene? I tried for a similar light effect in Power, but it didnt turn out too well.[/quote]

Well, over the set I have a relatively small lamp.  It's a little too sharp for my tastes. so there is a piece of wax paper wrapped around it to soften the light.  In addition, I wrapped a piece of black paper around the lamp to form a cylinder.  This prevents the light from spilling off too much and the edges of the room fade into shadow.

I also had a black sheet, as dark a black as could be found, wadded up at the edges of the grey board which prevents any light from coming anywhere past that.

I'm sorry that I don't have a picture to show.  I meant to take a picture of my setup, but in my rush, I neglected to do so.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's been long since i've last seen an animation of yours, and i have to say: you never cease to entertain me, pal. Animation, lighting, cinematography and story was spot on. I can't really note down anything wrong with it. Love your sillyness as well, especially the ending :lol: Great job, Squid]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like your storytelling style here. The choice of lighting and set design gives this a very theatrical feeling, which, coupled with the narration, works well together. 

[spoiler]I was worried for a second that this film was going to end on the now-tired "writer writes about their writer's block," but you managed to subvert that nicely, so kudos.

I loved how sudden the robot gag was, gave me a good laugh.[/spoiler]]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I can't really add much to what's already been said, but I like the way you cut the opening titles to the clock ticking, and the way they appear one after the other, then disappear in backwards order. For some reason I didn't even really notice that the clock wasn't moving.
[spoiler]This definitely falls into the "trying to come up with an idea" mini-genre that I always end up think about making a movie in, but I love how meta this one gets.[/spoiler]]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This was excellent, Squid. A really fun brickfilm, both visually and in its story; the nature of the set and its lighting meant every frame had something interesting to look at, as opposed to if she had been in a room with walls. That coupled with lots of visual gags...

[spoiler]Like the brilliant bit where she searches her brain, eating the waffle horizontally, etc.[/spoiler]

...and a bizarre but novel ending made this another excellent addition to what is overall a great filmography, Squid. I would be really proud if i made something even a third as good as this.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nice work!  The animation is great, and there's some really nice lighting and cinematography.  (I also liked how you used that minifig brain brick, and the LEGO Movie faces--I really need to get me some of those...).  The story feels quite reminiscent of The Stanley Parable, to me, especially the bit towards the end.  The ending is also great.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The only thing you forgot: "Based on a true story." ;)

Awesome video as always, Squid. You hid those mod elements superbly. The ending was totally unexpected, which made it great.  Smooth animation as always, keep it up! :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks!  I'm actually pretty surprised because I spent very little time on lighting and camera.  I thought a lot of people weren't really going to like it in that respect.

[quote=Sméagol]If there's a major criticism I have, it's that I think this would have worked better with narration that didn't have a phoney accent. (I'm guilty of the same thing in a lot of my early brickfilms!)[/quote]

Yeah, I didn't do a good job there.  :P  I was wanting to get someone else to narrate, but I couldn't think of anyone who might to it well enough off the top of my head.

I'm also really glad that you liked the ending,[spoiler] I added that in after writing the rest as something extra, and I wasn't sure about going through with it or if it would ruin the film, but I felt like it needed something besides such a silly joke.[/spoiler]]]></description>

If there's a major criticism I have, it's that I think this would have worked better with narration that didn't have a phoney accent. (I'm guilty of the same thing in a lot of my early brickfilms!)

[spoiler]As the story came to the conclusion of writing a story about not being able to come up with an idea for a story, I groaned a bit. But then it kind of redeemed itself by breaking out beyond that. I lol'd at the robot part.[/spoiler]]]></description>
