A Christmas Short

Youtube

This is my first stop motion animation about a guy who decorates his house for Christmas.  Let me know what you think.

Christmas film is done!

Re: A Christmas Short

Wow. That was actually really cool. The lighting and quality was perfect, the techniques used (shoveling, etc.) worked really well. The animation could have used a little bit of work, it can be pretty jerky at times. I can also tell that you began to get a bit lazy with animation towards the end, which wasn't too bad though. Overall, that was a lot better than I expected. Good job, I'll be waiting for your next film to be out, haha.

Re: A Christmas Short

Thanks.  Yeah I was getting tired of making it so I sort of rushed it at the end.  I was trying to get it done in time for Christmas and I actually did but didn't get around to posting it until today.

Good job! For your first stop-motion, that was amazing, however, I have nothing else to add to what awesomeonomy said, he covered it all.

Re: A Christmas Short

Yeah, sorry, my computer went bad.

Re: A Christmas Short

Thanks everyone.  When I was younger I did some Lego animation using a video camera but didn't use computer software (my work was choppy because everytime I moved the person and did a little videoing I would video at different lengths).  During this past summer I began a movie but it was too big of a project and I didn't like the idea so I quit working on it (I also lost some of my work when I saved over the file) mini/sad  I'm excited about entering my first Thac!

Re: A Christmas Short

I totally agree with what's been said here - great work! I expect something completely different, but you surprised me in a very positive way. The set-design and lighting was pretty nice. The animation was overall okay, it seemed a little rushed at times. You might want to work on that a little in the future. Regarding this is basically your first film, it has an impressive length. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the input JD.

Re: A Christmas Short

Nice!

The snow on the set really added a christmasy effect and style to the movie, it probably made the whole thing much harder to animate.

Overall, a great brickfilm

Yah.  I thought it would be best to have the same name in both places to help people not get confused.
