Thanks guys!
Yeah, I would have liked to redo certain sequences myself, but felt that it all "worked" as you put it! This was actually the THIRD project I started for them. Nick and Lego had some creative control and input, and we actually started with plans for the theme song. That was greenlighted all the way through storyboards and early builds before lawyers decided that kids might confuse it with the actual show! This is ridiculous of course, as final 3d bricks look nothing like the show, but my drawings were pretty good and Nick and Lego fought on my side for some time before succumbing and scrapping the project!
Suffice to say I was very frustrated with the couple of months of wasted effort and useless sets I had already constructed, and survived another false start when my second song choice was axed in favor of this new christmas song they presented me with! All this took place over spring and then summer, and I tour with a rock band for a living, so my team and studio space was all gone (I had the studio that did all miniature fx for The Terminator and lots more ready to let me use their motion control arms and such!) so this ended up being another solo project completed entirely in my bedroom on a rush schedule before I hit the road again for two months!
Excuses aside, I learned so much, and still really enjoyed the process and final product. But I certainly see weaknesses and flaws that I need to continue to iron out. I think it still shows a lot of promise, and I think my planned follow ups will also attempt new things, show off some building skills, and advance my animation skills. Remember, now I get to do whatever I want...
